    i am looking for a green project

    Humanity shall have practically free transportation tapping into the eternal gravitational force. Please see the channel www.youtube.com/atrilab.
    Newton and Climate Change
    Newton is a unique scientist whose work remains relevant to humanity after centuries and even for space age travel. He is said to have born on 25 Dec 1642 as per Roman calendar, but Europe reset the date to Jan 4th, 1643 as per Gregorian calendar later on.

    Let me share a secret unused by us for the last 300 years. His theories on gravity can help us meet the energy needs of humanity to transport people and goods. Using the approach outlined below transportation is possible at speeds of 210 mph from city to city. Retooled cars/trucks on gravity-powered roads allow for transportation without fossil fuels and transport cargo from any point to any point at 60-mph. Existing metro rail can be powered by gravity doing away the electrical traction.

    Detailed specification in US Patent application number: 12184151 dated 07/31/2008 provides more information regarding the "Gravity Powered Rail, Road and Runways transportation systems".
    (www.atrilab.com)
    The existing roads and rail infrastructure can be primarily powered by gravity attaining speeds of 60 mph.


    The implications are gravitational force can provide in case of USA:
    1. 360 KMPH rail based intercity transportation saving 87% of electrical energy
    2. Urban metros, even existing ones can save 97% of electrical energy
    3. Cargo can be moved from any point to any point in USA with gravity power, saving 97% of energy from fossil fuels
    4. USA can stop importing 8m barrels of oil daily and stop 3.5b tons of carbon emissions per annum


    The projects for USA would need investment of $450 billion, but no subsidy from the government, because they generate 30 to 40% cash surpluses. They generate also close to one million jobs. Eternal free gravity force can kick start projects in all the states for transportation infrastructure to be futuristic, totally powered by gravitational force. Within four years, we can complete the commercial implementation and get benefits, without any need for waiting for research to be completed.

    We need a paradigm shift in transportation scene with "green" energy from Newton's gravity and the game changer solution is ready for implementation.

    I don't recall any of those promises being made by Obama. Please post links to reliable sources.
