A nonprofit is hoping to reduce the risks of extreme weather across the country by alerting people early to the problem, and then converting the power into usable energy.
Forest fires raging, lightning strikes causing $5 to $6 billion in damage each year, according to Project First Light. Hurricanes are growing in power, inflicting hundreds of billions of dollars in losses.
Project First Light is a peace and conflict resolution strategy focused on developing key pieces of technology that alarms public of environmental hazards and redirects global warming effects to power progress. It is part of the nonprofit Americas Green Corps, which building networks and clean rapid-charge batteries that absorb astro-geo-energy and shield our land, air, and sea.
“We are transforming our foundation of infrastructure to shield, capture, store, and transmit astro-geo-energy to ensure the success of longterm water, power, transportation, and agricultural master plans,” they said.
“In the first ten minutes of a hurricane making landfall it releases more energy than all the nuclear weapons on the planet combined. Storage of high energy discharges are the key to rapid-charge batteries and the major obstacle for electric vehicle mass production.”
The project’s Green Lighthouse idea is a proposal of transforming an oil platform into a "Green Lighthouse" National monument – dedicated to the protectors who served on the front line.
The idea was conceptualized by Ryan Davis, creative director of Americas Green Corps, as a way of converting the abandoned oil platform into a useful monument.
“California committed to 100% renewable energy, so it’s quite an interesting narrative to turn an oil platform over into a wind, solar and sea-powered lighthouse,” Ryan told Daily Nexus.
The lighthouse will be powered by a wind-power generator – it will become a habitat for sea life, a wave breaker for the community, and a wind and wave energy collector.
