BOARD OF ADVISORS

New Energy Movement is seeking to convene an advisory board of scientists, visionaries and social entrepreneurs whose role will be to shape the public face of the effort. Our work will need to be governed by the wisdom of experience, even though there is no true precedent to guide us. Introduction of such a catalyst for change as New Energy will require expertise in the areas of science, diplomacy and economics. We will seek to develop an incisive public relations strategy, as well as a pioneering business model for use by the industry.

Our advisors are to share in the responsibility of appropriating funds for specific grants, media projects and organizational efforts. Their advice on matters impacting both the grassroots and industrial scale of societal concerns will be of critical importance.

The limited number of advisory board positions will be crucial to broadening the scope of this movement. Please submit your suggestions or personal credentials for consideration. We are eager to learn of your passion for the vision of New Energy.

The current Advisory Board is comprised of the following New Energy allies:


Jeane Manning, B.A.

Andrew Mount
Since 1988, Andrew Mount has collaborated with innovators and entrepreneurs in the pursuit of new energy technology. His apprenticeship with physicist Bruce DePalma (depalma.pair.com) informed an awareness of the looming ecological crisis and whole-systems solutions that address it. One of the key components of his philosophy is the need for greater social responsibility in the commercial sector. Andrew is a Youth Minister and advocate of a humanitarian renaissance. He is also Trustee of DePalma Institute, a New Zealand Trust.


Alfred Lambremont Webre, J.D., M.Ed.
Alfred Lambremont Webre, JD, MEd is the International Director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS) [www.peaceinspace.com], promoting the vision of banning weapons and warfare in space, and transforming the permanent war economy into a peaceful and cooperative, New Energy, Space Age society.

Alfred has worked for years to prevent the weaponization of space, and has been a delegate to the UNISPACE Outer Space Conference and NGO representative at the United Nations (Communications Coordination Committee for the UN; UN Second Special Session on Disarmament). He is a co-architect with Dr. Carol Rosin and others of the Space Preservation Act and the Space Preservation Treaty introduced to the U.S. Congress by Congressman Kucinich to ban space-based weapons.

Alfred is known as the founding father of the Exopolitics, or the science of interface with intelligent civilizations in the Universe. His book EXOPOLITICS: POLITICS, GOVERNMENT AND LAW IN THE UNIVERSE [www.Exopolitics.com] is the evolution of his groundbreaking work as a futurist at the Stanford Research Institute, where in 1977 he directed a proposed extraterrestrial communication study project for the Carter White House.


Peter LaVaute
Ecolonomic Entrepreneur
Managing Member of Ecosense Solutions, LLC. Promoting and assisting the research, development and implementation of technologies and systems that are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and beneficial to general health. Agriculture, Construction materials and systems, transportation, water supply and energy are the focus areas. He is currently organizing an Ecolonomic Commercialization Center to manufacture and market promising technologies that have 'proof of concept.'


Bill Zebuhr
William Zebuhr has a Master's Degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University. He has experience in the large corporation world, the defense industry, and extensive experience as an inventor and entrepreneur in the energy and environmental fields. He has about thirty patents and a lot of experience with investors. He is founder and CEO of Ovation Products Corporation (see www.ovationproducts.com). The company has developed a small vapor compression distiller which has broad application in cleaning water for domestic and industrial use worldwide. This is a disruptive technology that will have a major impact in the multi billion dollar water industry.

Bill was founder and CEO of two other companies and cofounder of one. One of these was a major developer and manufacturer of solar heating systems and another is a major player in the heat recovery industry. These products have enabled the savings of hundreds of millions of gallons of oil.

Bill has had a long time interest in the fringes of science and technology and has helped raise seed capital for several inventors in these areas. It was this interest that led to meeting Gene Mallove and the association that resulted in becoming Chairman of the New Energy Foundation. Bill's broad practical experience, his interest in the connections between technology and metaphysics and the potential impacts on the environment will be helpful in helping to set the direction of NEM in the future.


Kenneth Rauen
Ken Rauen serves as Technical Advisor for Pure Energy Systems Network and Science Monitor for New Energy Congress, benefiting both organizations with his solid foundation and expertise as a science generalist. Ken is a chemist by education and an engineer and physicist by experience. He received his BS in Chemistry from the University of Detroit in 1978 and launched into the industrial workplace, working for Ford Motor Company at the Milan Plastics Plant where he made the transition from a chemist to hands-on engineer. Laser video disc manufacturing experience at Producers Color Service was a genuine engineering capacity that continued through many other positions over the years.

During this time, Ken flexed his creative muscles and cultivated an avocation of inventorship until Gene Mallove hired him for Cold Fusion Technology's New Energy Research Laboratory, making him a professional inventor. He has also worked for Clean Energy, Inc. of Palo Alto, CA, where Ken did research on the resurrection of the Papp Engine, the well-documented new energy generation device of deceased inventor Joseph Papp.

Part of Ken's research into advanced thermodynamics was published by Infinite Energy magazine after a mainstream physics journal refused to even give peer review of his experimental evidence of a Maxwell's Demon, a "violation" of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. US patent 6,698,200 B1 was issued to him in March of 2004, embodying this research in an engine design, tapping the heat of the environment as its heat source. Inadequate resources have prevented its construction to date.


Carol Rosin
Dr. Carol Rosin is an award-winning educator, child psychologist, futurist, international speaker, author, military strategist, and space and missile defense consultant. She received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Delaware and an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanities from Archbishop Soloman Gbadebo of Nigeria. She is Founder and President of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS), with headquarters in Vancouver, BC and Vilcabamba, Ecuador, where she resides. ICIS advocates for the peaceful, cooperative, non-military development of space, new energy, and related technologies for the betterment of humanity.
