The Debate rages on in Think Tanks across the country, as one group cuts another research facilities studies to the core and vise versa. How can anyone agree as science is at odds over their findings, funding and results? Well as the operator of a Non-Partisan Think Tank you can imagine the accusations flying in cyberspace amongst the Politically Motivated Think Tanks, and you just have to duck when you get caught in the crossfire.
Not long ago a gentleman from Ottawa Canada asked how it was possible to be an advocate of anything and not be labeled as someone with a hidden political agenda?
Well, yes this is a concern. Just recently our Online Think Tank has been discussing "Ocean Wave Energy Technologies" which too me sure make a lot of sense, so we all feel they should be promoted, because like the Founder of America’s first original Think Tank; Howard Scott, I am inline with of my Ancestor's son's; Friedrich "Winslow" Taylor with regards to Efficiency. As an entrepreneur you live or die by it. This is not to say I am somehow against other energy sources, far from it, but if you are not an advocate for something you could be labeled just as quickly.
We realize at the Online Think Tank that if you going to believe in either something or nothing or everything you will be labeled. So, water under the bridge must be labeled too, if for nothing else; the sake of the drinking, transportation and/or energy in the sound and fury it creates. It would not matter if that water stream was running an old mill, an Archimedes screw or a hydroelectric power plant and barge train distribution system. The labels are of course never ending. And it is amazing how they change during the same week? The trick is to use the right tools, like Mind Mapping;

To keep your brain focused on solutions and work past political differences. In fact something that Howard Scott once said prompted me to jot down a potential title for a future article; "The Sound and Fury and Mathematical Theory of Energy Determinants". Perhaps this article has helped propel thought in 2007.
