I was surprised to see that only two people showed up with an intent to learn about non-technical things. And because of the way things went, I feel responsible that those two individuals were neglected. I want to extend a whole-hearted apology to those two individuals. If you're reading this, you know who you are.
Additionally, I would like those two people to know how honorable it was to have them there. When Pat and I decided to have this meeting, we did not know exactly what the meeting needed to be about. We truly wanted to create something which could bring so many people together from various backgrounds so that we could work together. Our thought was that we would get enough gardeners and farmers there and then divide into groups, and the folks with an interest in food, water, and other survival issues could have a conversation among themselves. But instead, the majority of the people in attendance were interested in energy technology. This was totally unexpected. I thought that the people interested in my energy research would make up the smaller portion of attendees. Being unprepared for this, I did not handle the beginning of the meeting as I would have liked. In hindsight, I wish that I had opened the evening with some questions to deal with food, water, and other issues so that the two individuals mentioned could be edified.
That in mind, Pat and I intend to rectify the situation by speaking to those people and connecting them to the resources they need. Thanks again, to those two people!!
For the rest of the crew who are involved in the energy work, I congratulate all of you on your patience with our technology research and determination.
And to everyone who attended, I commend you on your desire to plan for a sustainable future.
