The Writing On The Green Wall

Perhaps you've heard of the Koch Brothers as they're a pretty big name in the Fracking industry? Their father established the family fortune building oil wells for Joseph Stalin-- you know, the blood thirsty communist ruler of the former USSR and lifelong enemy of the free world. Turns out the brothers are also a pretty big name in the water filtration industry. And with oil billionaires like T. Boone Pickins buying up water rights it's pretty easy to see the writing on the wall.

If I weren't already busy with my own plans I think I would look into manufacturing and installing potable rainwater collection and filtration systems for home owners and small businesses. It's not complicated nor is it new as my grandfather built a gravity operated potable rainwater system 50 plus years ago and provided enough water for 7 children, Grandma and grandchildren without so much as a penny of electricity needed.It's the kind of thing that could be manufactured in Greensboro and shipped almost anywhere.

These are the kinds of ideas Greensboro's "movers and shakers" should be thinking about selling to the world. These are the kinds of things that bring jobs to Greensboro.
