Pilot projects
Once a property has been secured it can be used to develop the following connected enterprises. These projects are being developed based on present skills and networks.

Black Power
Power to the People
Develop wind and/or solar steam turbine to generate power for the 600 residents of the Boulia district (or beyond). At present Boulia has a substandard diesel generator that could become the back up generator. As the power industry is now deregulated this could be an independent venture or it could be a joint venture with an existing energy company.
The Factory
This would involve building a sustainable and comfortable (cool) workshop and buying an existing company ( any industry,) including plant, customers and good will and put it in the workshop.
