More talk, NO action

I have been involved with Better World Technologies since Nov. 26, 2000.

We have Engine Modification Kits to increase gas mileage 50% + and soon with the Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter Technology will give hundreds of miles per Gallon.

We are signing up the last couple thousand of the 1.6 million people to "kick-off" our Magnetic Powered Generator. Fueless Electric Generation.

All this with no help except the people signing up with hope. I have recently been asked to protest the Mining of Uranium on a Reserve in Ontario.

If our Technologies were helped forward there would be no Wasteland in Alberta, no one would be mining Uranium, Nuclear Power and Earthen Dams would not be threatening our environment.

We have asked no one for money and generate our funds needed selling Environment Friendly Products, like Magnetic Laundry Systems so no soaps are needed.

Sorry, all I see here is more talk. Nice video.
