Welcome to WaterMind

The core purpose of this Blog is to create a vision of what a Water-based Economy will be like and what Life on Earth will be like when humans finally put an end to the Age of Burning and start to generate electricity from water.

Every time you see a green leaf, think about what it is doing: using sunlight to extract electricity from water and give off oxygen. This process is so ancient, it started even before there was any oxygen in the atmosphere; and it has been going on for so long that it has filled the atmosphere with the oxygen it has today.

So isn't it about time that humans started doing what comes naturally? We have 326 million cubic miles of water freely available; we have Plants to show us how it is done, using a tiny catalyst of manganese atoms; and half of our energy consumption is now in the form of electricity.

As the Blog develops, I expect surprising contributions from people everywhere. I may not hear from 2.2 billion of our brothers and sisters who live in desperate poverty. I dedicate this site to them.
