GIFNET’s mission is to address critical issues,
provide credible information and innovative solutions for our planet’s
pressing biospheric needs through inexpensive, clean energy systems
known as New Energy Technologies (NET).
Focusing on a subject that is frequently politicized,
GIFNET serves as a safe and independent place for objective frontier
research & development, analysis and testing to create practical
policies for action with integrity to address the most critical global
environmental issue of our time.
To this end, GIFNET unites multidisciplinary participants,
scientists, environmentalists, business leaders, decision makers and
others to develop new, innovative solutions to environmental degradation
through inexpensive, clean energy sources that sustain worldwide communities,
economic growth and sustainable development.
The main principles and scope of GIFNET are:
1. To promote and organize research and development
of New Energy Technologies as well as testing existing technologies
for further development. The criteria as to whether a model or concept
is “right” or “wrong, will be if it is useful and
does predict some new and useful results. Models, devices, concepts
etc. are allocated resources commensurate with the indication of substantially
higher energy efficiency than today’s current levels.
2. Emphasis is given to technologies that will provide
the consumer with power on demand locally at the place of consumption
as opposed to the principle of centralized units generating and selling
the energy to the consumer. Once the consumer, be it household or factory,
has acquired a device, the energy will be FREE, thus comfortably ensuring
the buying power of the world markets both for the devices and for the
oil based durable products at their substantially and appropriately
increased values, as well as enabling a progressive dismantling of the
existing and disastrous energy structure of the World.
3. Releasing all developed technologies to the world
public and to industry. This will ensure the rapid widespread distribution
of NET worldwide and at the same time provide protection from control
and monopolies. The Internet provides the perfect tool to achieve this
objective at virtually no cost. Any member in the world, be it Government
agency, organization, individual, entrepreneur or business entity will
have access to the complete blueprint collection of the Institute, free
of charge. However, if and when production of any device is initiated,
GIFNET appeals to the beneficiaries to reciprocate to the extent of
their means in order to ensure continuity. The philosophy is "Technology
Open Sourcing". Of course, any independent patents included and
used in devices are respected and negotiated directly with the patent
owner/s.
4. Scientific community education activities to create
a core of mainstream and respected scientific and institutional support
for this new science.
5. Appointing selected independent laboratories and
researchers for conducting replication of the various technologies so
as to provide credibility and quality approval for the products.
6. Inter-Governmental education activities to create
firm support among political leaders, friendly government agencies,
regulatory entities and others that can in turn create real political
currency in favor of these new energy systems.
7. Mass media and public support creation by professional
disclosure of the technology as soon as it is developed.
8. Careful liaison to existing NGOs, movement groups
and institutions that would naturally support the release and widespread
adoption of such new energy systems; these include environmental organizations
and agencies, anti-poverty groups and agencies, conservation and energy
groups, international development groups and agencies, etc.
9. Out-reach to oil producing nations and corporations
to negotiate performance-based inclusion of their interests in the dissemination
of these new technologies, thus 'hedging' the negative long-term economic
impact of these technologies on their core economic foundation. The
concept here is to make potential adversaries interested allies - but
with specific performance criteria that would preclude the obstruction
or 'shelving' of the technology.
