Stuff That Make Up One's Nightmare-Dreams Sometimes

I wept, when I read a New York Times news story, entitled, "After Isaias, More than 2 Million Still Without Power in New York Area", by Mihir  Zaveri, about the devastation wrought in parts of the New York region, by Tropical Storm Isaias, and the damage done to the area's  power grid, which has led to a rather lengthy period that many consumers will apparently  be without power. 

My sorrow results from knowledge  that such calamities that turn the lives of ordinary people worldwide upside down, would never happen again, anywhere in the world, were skeptical  investors  to  embrace the brilliant  Ghanaian inventor,  Raphael  Afordoanyi, and empower him to fast-track the process of  bringing  his  serendipitous emission-free, game-changing off-grid clean power invention, to market.

I still marvel at the fact that the impact-patient-investors who have been approached, thus far, have not been daring enough to back him - and in my nightmare-dreams,  many are invariably unwilling  do so wholeheartedly, without trying to take the idea for themselves, exclusively,  in exhange for Raphael accepting a one-off six figure payoff, and giving up the rights to his priceless intellectual property, that will save humankind from  passing the climate-change-tipping-point-of-no-return.

Then I wake up to cold reality again. For me, it is incredible that an off-grid emission-free  cutting-edge invention, which will produce power that never goes off, regardless of prevailing weather conditions, and, on top, is even cheaper than electricity  from  nuclear power stations, and will  give consumers worldwide, incredibly cheap electricity, still struggles to find the right farsighted superwealthy benevolent-backers. Such is life - and the baleful behind-the-scenes-influence, of the doomed fossil fuel industry's major players. Pity.
