ELGEN Wave
 

We, at ELGEN Wave, are excited and proud to be working for a better world.  We all have a need for energy, and we also need a healthy, stable environment.  We shouldn't have to sacrifice one for the other.  We, at ELGEN Wave, are dedicated to supporting both of these needs harmoniously.  Our Horizon causes no pollution, and unlike some other technologies (like windmills, which kill an astounding number of birds), it is friendly to wildlife.  Barnacles just love it.  If you would like to help bring Horizon to fruition, we invite you to join the collaborative effort.

 

The computer software industry provides a good example of global collaboration.  While private enterprises produce the majority of software available today, user created, open source software occupies a large and important segment.  Disparate users from all over the world and from all walks of life, working collaboratively, have created thousands of software applications that rival, and even surpass, the quality and capabilities of those built by private industry.  In a similar manner, we are seeking collaborative help with Horizon.

Although we don't currently have the budget to either contract out these tasks, or hire employees to perform them, we are willing to entertain the notion of entering into agreements with collaborators regarding a future stake/part in the company.  Conversely, if you don't have the time or expertise to collaborate personally, but still wish to help the effort, please speak to your friends and associates about it.  The more people who know about this effort, the more likely we are to receive the help we need, and the sooner it will happen.  To get involved, visit our Contact page.  You can also...
