This is a new crypto currency and it’s purpose is to save the planet in lots of little increments with lots of little power generators, lots of little greening and cooling initiatives.
I’ve chosen Balloon as a name as this is how crypto currency works. This is different from other types of investment as what you put in can shrink or grow, it cannot entirely disappear. The value of what you hold is in the volume of the air. You can choose to be paid interest in the form of air in the Balloons you hold, or you can be paid in Balloons. This can be good in the long run as when the value increases all Balloons increase their value with the same volume of air, so by being paid in more Balloons your air volume or value will increase faster each time. You could choose to get an income of your currency, deriving the value, at any point.
Crypto is mined by miners, these are people who more than double check transactions to keep them safe, they dozen check them, they are good eggs, and what they do in the process is secure them, encrypting them, turning numbers into 1s and 0s so no-one can listen in to the trading conversation and hack it, stealing the money away, in a sense they are giving your liquid assets a tougher shell. This is highly technical using computer programming knowledge. A little bit of your investment would pay them then they would invest your investment into something that will generate funds as it generates electricity, and people pay for that electricity, which will then be returned to you, your return on your investment.

I thought in Covid that on seeing the skies so clearly and having people stuck sitting in their homes that they should have been put to good use generating change. I was and am thinking of piece work at home mostly though this I also visualise being done in small workshops. Some people could make the elements of the kits, for example nuts bolts boards panels blades et cetera. Other people could assemble these small parts, they would in the most part be small – lots of little – into little kits with a sheet of instructions. These would be sent to locations like homes where people would put them together, it could be

Really oil energy is in reality lots of little leaves converted over a long period of time into oil – we see a slight rainbow film of oil from leaves when they have turned dark brown in puddles of rain. Coal is tree trunks turned into compressed carbon – more compressed coal is a diamond, that’s what they are, coal under immense pressure.
This power generation system is lots of little adding up to a lot. Like lots of little breaths of air inflating a balloon until it is quite big, that sort of thing. It all adds up and it all makes sense, quite simply really.

This is the real Newtonian Power of Forces where Work Done is for real – not just a vain pointless waste of energy, okay, yes you Do Look Good, with this you can both Look Good and Do Good.
This is what another group of people could be doing – generating power
Another group could be installing these little generators everywhere, including their own homes.
Each of these generators produces power which could pay all individuals involved in making them.
They could be paid in Balloons.
The investors would be investing currency into Balloon.
Invested currency going into Balloon could pay for the Balloons to be paid out.
Eventually the money would be made from the products generated from the power of all the lots of little generators; examples are metal products, high energy usage industries, totally electric transportation, and taxes on energy consumption creates revenue for government projects – nothing comes entirely for free – and this creates a better life for us all.
In the 1990s I suggested on my old school political website orionparty.org – up in 1997 so one of the earlier websites – I’ve kept it as is as a historical document – this idea:
Tide flow mills – a bit like water mills and wind mills – the only difference being that the water flow is at sea. The tides around the UK are constant, and no energy derivation device will stop this, though to slow it a bit slows the speed of the sea a tiny amount, and all these tiny amounts add up
Just like every drop of rain
Many drops can someday make a river
And many rivers go down to the sea
And the sea rolls on forever, forever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xw8ID1QG7o
Chris de Burgh, so the ocean currents will have less energy in them, and the slower flow means that freezing is more possible, which is very good to counteract global warming.
This could be done by placing lots of little piers out into the sea – an added bonus is that if you fancied canoeing around the coast it’d be a bit less treacherous and possibly swim off them too, as long as safety cages around the energy generators were placed – an absolute must in my opinion for all the wildlife that also swims in the sea – and these as they are effectively like sieves you use in the kitchen will not affect flow at all, the oceans currents are unstoppable, I know I have been on a boat around Dover saying it was going at 7 knots, against the tide, the coastline view hardly changed in hours.
The devices are placed under these piers. They will be lovely places to walk to get a bit of fresh air too, which is the main purpose of these piers, as this form of generation will make all the air fresher by their actions:
Southend Pier, England:
https://www.fodors.com/news/photos/the-15-most-incredible-piers-in-the-world
They could be even more beautiful with power generators beneath them in the sea, and if there were more of them that would be lovely.
These are larger scale projects that cost more money, I’m still thinking lots of little, it is a lot quicker too – you could use old pallets to make the piers for example.

https://blog.education.nationalgeographic.org/2016/10/04/truly-alternative-energies-tidal-power/
I’m not proposing barrage systems where river life would be affected or unique phenomenon like the Severn bore would be ceased – as there must be a reason in nature for these which would not be wise to stop – also rivers must flow freely and as barrages stop the flow at the estuary point silting up would occur causing flooding – not good
And as you can see from the pictures there are lots of different ideas, lots of different ways power can be generated at sea without the need to affect this environment adversely – I would protect the little fish in the picture with the sieve protection so that in rough seas they are not cut up by any of this – yes I have thought all of this through.
Green Garden Sieves to protect the fish and dolphins and whales. Another good thing about this is that the energy produced could mean whales are left at peace in the sea as this produces opportunities for other food production using this energy.
There is in town infrastructure already there for wind generators – street lamps – when I stood for the local Council I stuck posters on the street lamp posts – This could also be a windmill they said with an illustration of a wind turbine. This could be a great revenue and power generation idea for local governments === and really handy for my new transport system idea going forward === I’d add reflector solar panels on top on the light source – which would be placed lower to light the street not people’s bedrooms – the new lights are as bright as day and you can see them wastefully lighting up space – like a roof with light reflectors underneath. The wind generators would go up the top half and at the top – pipe and blade style.
Look at the tree wind generator in the next section. Really the old fuel source of oil is in fact time decayed leaves (gas is a part of this process) then darken once they are off the tree, then decay, look at the rainbow film of oil on puddles in late Winter and you’ll see what I am saying.
Here is a very clear example more oily than I have ever seen:
https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/954630/view/natural-iridescent-oil-film-from-decaying-leaves
Coal is the wood, the trunks, long decayed, as dead things go that colour over time – fire oddly has that same effect – maybe to do with energy – and if you pressurise that coal over time, it is already pressurised wood, it becomes diamonds.
To add these substances back into the soil repairs our act of releasing their dead spirits. It also gives ideas to your mind if you need to reproduce particular chemicals for specialised purposes.
This also illustrates that my lots of little approach makes sense, as all the ‘immediate’ fuels you consume where made of lots of little leaves, long growing trees and a very long time.
One way to generate power in the Winter when it is most needed is to use fields where crops grow, at the time when they are dormant. I would stripe the wires along the tramlines, to not disturb the vegetation, and use these to place the generators. Wind generators could be pipe style turbines so that they are very easy to store in the barns in the Summer when the barns will be empty and go out as the harvest comes in to be stored there. Transparent window solar panels could protect vulnerable crops for example vines from frosts too, some of the power that they generate could warm them too. With the cost of living crisis this would help keep bills down without going for the nuclear option. I also think to help people, instead of subsidising the food generators, it would be better to subsidise the food price itself, then the funds would go to where they are appreciated satisfying need not greed. Large landowners do not need help, the little people do.

Balloons could be invested in Hemp and other power crop production and fruit and nut trees and plants for other creatures as there is a worth in that.
Balloons could be invested in practical means to lower sea levels and decrease desertification reversing this to cool the planet.

When someone wants one of these little devices to generate electricity for their homes there could be a formula or a formal system to pay for them one by one.
The way this would work is that the cost of the item and its installation would be known, a simple example £10
They pay say £1000 a year.
Their energy supplier buys the item for them.
Their bill goes down by £11
They pay £999 that year and the energy supplier has had their money back.
So the person at this home sees that this is good and invests in another item and then after they have paid for this one by one adding on and on and the financial rewards add up bit by bit. They have then invested £100 and their bills have gradually fallen so now what they need to pay is £888.
They keep going and keep doing this. They have a gas boiler and are now thinking of going totally electric, gas is a bit dangerous anyway they acknowledge. With a few more investments, some are direct ones where they simply pay for the item which makes their bill go down without them needing to pay anyone back. This brings them closer and closer to that green goal. They take the plunge, as they can now afford to go totally electric. Initially their electricity bill goes up, but they factor this in as they no longer have a separate gas bill, even though to start with, yes they are paying more. They do some more one by one energy supplier investments which gradually changes that to the point where they again have the spare funds to pay up front for this.
Their house is buzzing with lots of little energy generating devices, like lots of little bees buzzing in a hive making money honey. They start to worry about bills less, and also soon start to feel free like a bird on the wing. It’s like they are a balloon rising in the clean clear air. Uplifting stuff.
Balloon could also be an investor, where people who invest in balloon act as the energy supplier. After all energy suppliers have an addiction to keeping you hooked, they will not have money flowing into themselves if you do become emancipated. Some people, perhaps who understand this technology less and who would be less confident in maintaining it to keep it going might wish to go totally balloon, so they gain from free energy in the long term and the surplus is sold off so the money gained from that is reinvested. That would be ideal, as once homes are on the way to being sorted a lower energy transport network can be worked on, in fact, one of the aims of the gains from this I have imagined is that the transport grid could be fuelled by electrons directly from all these little local sources, one example I campaigned for at the Millenium was that street lights could also be windmills, they could also have solar panels placed above their lights, reflecting the light down rather than wasting it, and lighting themselves up via the light of the Sun. There is a lot that could be done. Doing it little by little it can get done.

Another Aspect of power is to keep the hot air in – I’m not talking about parliamentary hot air here but simply air that you have paid to heat up in your home, to keep it in there. If you don’t you are effectively taxing yourself because you did not do the less taxing task of insulating your home. You are also part of the planet’s global warming – directly.

Lovely to hear the Green leader Member of Parliament, Caroline Lucas, who represents Brighton, agree with me on this, this is what she said:
Today of course has seen a new report from the Met Office that the climate emergency is accelerating even faster than people feared and so what I want to see is tackling that climate emergency front and centre of this Queen’s Speech. From what we’ve heard it doesn’t look likely, uhmm, what we are told about is an energy security bill, but if that’s anything like the energy security strategy which was launched last month then there’s nothing there to help home owner’s, there’s nothing in terms of a proper house by house, street by street, home insulation program, which would get people’s fuel bills down, it will tackle the cost of living crisis, create hundreds and thousands of jobs and tackle the climate emergency as well. So I do fear that once again there’s going to be a climate shaped hole at the heart of the Queen’s Speech.

Farmers have been complaining for a long time now that they do not have a market for their wool – how it used to be the most valuable part of a sheep – a lot of the wealth in England was on the backs of wool – in the House of Lords there is a woolsack that is a powerful place to sit. The Cotswolds is a wool wealthy area where The Prince of Wales, who sat on a throne, in the House of Lords, to give the Queen’s Speech, lives.
Polystyrene is hard to recycle and so are plastic bags – so an easy solution is to put polystyrene into these plastic bags – as smoothly as possible – then lay these in your loft leaving no gaps – polystyrene is also light so your ceiling will not cave in with this. Perhaps local groups in each local government administration area could be formed with an ability to gather these together and pair them, then distribute these to homes that need them.
I’ve seen fast fashion being transported in a not green way far away which no-one anywhere in the world wants to wear. What could be done here is to shred the clothing up and put it into clothing bags like pillowcases – these can then be laid in lofts to keep you all cosy and warm at home.
Some card is hard to put back into the recycling system – like those tetra pak cartons for liquid food. Also mixed materials which are a fiddley job to sort out into their component parts – they could be cut up into lots of little bits and paper bagged up with a brown cardboard box around that to stop the paper tearing in transit – these blocks could be stacked up high in your house so your heating bills don’t have to skyrocket any more.
Fibreglass is made of sand as glass is made of sand and there is plenty of sand in the world. To do all insulating quickly we need to use all our resources, and it is better to use what is to hand and will be wasted first and to not need to transport rocks, however small, around the world, using energy up to save energy. We could grow things in that sand, and that is definitely a green thing to do.

Countryfile Children in Need woolly hat contest: You were allowed a design using 4 colours in total.
Patrick, judge, Great British Sewing Bee: We are looking for a design that is eye catching, that is original, we want something that is fun, and we want something that people are really going to want to wear.
The winning design:
It gives a nod to the Pudsey colours, it’s like the landscape, with the green fields, and the blue sky, but there’s also a hint of rainbow in there, I think it’s really beautiful.
And what’s more it’s going to be manufactured in the UK.
Penelope Blogg: As a spinner and a knitter I’m so happy to hear that! I’m really happy.
Adam Henson: Congratulations!
I feel pleased that they incorporated the concepts of my design in the final result of someone else’s design, so that it became the colour of crops in fields and a rainbow, we need both rain and sun to grow crops. I did e-mail Adam Henson : (following this there are photos of different crops in fields in the UK)
Countryfile hats, conservation ideas, environmental concepts, food production and electricity generation

Dear Adam,
I was lucky to be able to go to the Countryfile at Christmas event as I was working that day, it was so near to where I live, we finished early so I got my chance. I wear my Countryfile bobble hat at work goes with what I wear and keeps my ears warm too, felt a bit like a groupie being the only one wearing one, but I was a warm one. I have created a design that illustrates the Countryside throughout the Seasons and the Industry of Farming too, which I will submit, photo of it attached here.
The reason for this e-mail is that I have some ideas to create electric power in the fields in Winter and non-growing months when it is most needed. I needed to see if I could work with you at the event, glad I got to walk with you in the Woodland Walk, and by chance saw you two more times later, the quiz and carol singing. It was a much needed relief from some stress stemming from supermarket experiences which I am working through, though this has reminded me of an idea to get produce to all in a better way I’ve had embryonically before, I’m thinking creatively there. I did enjoy a Cockerel at Christmas from Aldi. A larger tastier chicken – there are products like this which we used to get and one I’ve thought about which reduce food waste and the pointlessness of killing a male animal that could create great food. I’ve also had a concept for years of a more productive use of the land – to be honest I thought the complacency of the subsidy benefit system was a bit of a closed shop union which disenabled innovators from entering the field, literally, and thought no-one would respond positively until they felt a personal need to do so, I’ve been waiting until I would not be told to get off the land before I could release it. I am about your age, so time is of the essence!
Fortunately it’s not too far for me to travel to reach you, as I live in Swindon, I’d love to meet all your animal family too. I used to have a dog friend who taught me a lot and when we can travel again I’ll be on a quest to find her family. She taught me how to forage, and caught rabbits so we were privileged to be invited to view artifacts as locals from a dig in the Avenue at Avebury because of this. She is the inspiration of this :
http://www.unin.us/2017/01/05/free-food-and-stuff-boxes/
and as she is rare, I cannot see a dog that looks exactly like her anywhere yet, she looked like a teddy bear like Pudsey, she was called Trixie, she reminded me of this idea, which your farm could be a beneficiary of :
http://www.unin.us/2017/09/28/the-worthing-of-wildlife/
This has had an influence as they offered finance to developing world countries at the COP in Glasgow, to pay them to preserve the environment, I’m not thinking in terms of charity here, as we are the beneficiary of the result, but of a respecting business deal here, as wildlife does mean less produce money and less left for consumption and people need money for food to eat.
I’m also working on this idea, I did note Sting was on TV at the same time as the Countryfile Christmas in the Park with a programme on a musical based on his Ship Building town childhood “When the last Ship Sails”, he now lives in Wilsford-cum-Lake in Wiltshire near Stonehenge. We could return to ship building with this idea. I can demonstrate how it works with you.
I would be grateful if you could help me make this idea happen, I think it may well help with coastal erosion prevention :
http://www.unin.us/to-bring-water-to-the-desert-to-green-the-dry/
We can do one thing at a time or several all at once, whatever floats your boat.
I look forward in hope to working with you,
I think it will be both fun and productive,
Kind regards,
Clare
