Origin and aims of the Association
The Planetary Association
for Clean Energy, Incorporated was founded in June 1975 in
Ottawa, Canada, under the guidance of the Hon. Senator Chesley W.
Carter, then Chair-person of the Senate's Standing Committee
on Health, Welfare and Science as well as member of the Senate
Special Committee on Science Policy. With the Hon. Carter, a
number of scientists undertook to make use of this Association to
develop an international interdisciplinary network of advanced
scientific thinking individuals and organizations. Together, these
were to promote and steward "clean energy systems" for
eventual implementation on a planetary-wide scale.
Clean energy systems are defined as those which draw on natural supply, which are universal in application, which are inexpensive and which do not cause polluting residue.
Already by 1976 such systems were being examined and promoted by the founders of the Association. This initial nucleus of scientists grew. In 1979, the Association became incorporated as a Canadian non-profit corporation. Its Federal Charter foresaw the role of facilitation of the discovery, research, development, demonstration and evaluation of clean energy systems. Another role cited is stewarding the planning, co-ordination and implementation of clean energy systems on planetary, continental, regional, local and individual scales. Experience has enjoined the network to act responsibly by serving as a monitor and an alert system for emerging "unclean" systems not considered by other groups.
In 1980, the Association became a Learned Society and hosted its first sessions as such at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Its network currently comprises about 3,500 individuals and institutions in over 60 nations. Its official publication is the Newsletter. Since 1981, books, proceedings, monographs and electronic publications have been released to both general and specialist audiences.
In 1986, the Learned Society initiated sustained efforts towards international technological transfer through a Symposium/exhibition in Hull, Québec, followed by a 1989 presentation at the United Nations, where it is recognized as an Associate NGO, and since 2004 in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
In 1990, the University of Ottawa's Institute for Research on Environment and Economy has conferred an associative status to the Society
Accomplishments
* Since 1975, the Association has been identifying, peer-reviewing, demonstrating clean energy devices (theoretical and actual). The scientific and educational process includes the production of monographs, periodicals, audio-visuals, electronic databases, demonstrations, books, specialist courses and learned gatherings. [Some systems promoted: Tesla technologies (the Magnifying Transmitter/wireless transmission of electricity, radiant energy devices, bladeless pumps and turbines for geothermal applications, low-damping transformers, vacuum energy, high-efficiency light bulbs); magnetic motors; non-radioactive fusion; homopolar generators; advanced solar collectors; phonon-decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen; water-as-a-fuel; electrostatic/electronic heating and cooling system; inertial propulsion systems; flexible mirrors; structuring of fluidic material systems; ultra-rapid decontamination of nuclear and toxic waste materials; low-moisture agriculture; biological communication systems.]
* Research and development in emerging energy science and technology, e.g.: higher-symmetry electrodynamics (scalar electromagnetics) and zero-point energy (of the vacuum).
* Monitoring and documentation of problems associated with the psychobiological effects of low-level electromagnetic radiation, especially extremely low and very low frequency (ELF/VLF) spectra.
* Cooperation with the United Nations - Human Rights Council, UNEP, UNSECO, UNITAR, UNDP, and CSER.
* Design, negotiation and development of pragmatic waste recovery systems for newspapers, glass and metal (Ottawa) -- emulated worldwide, and waste cellulosic fines from pulp and paper industries for agricultural purposes.
* International peace and security studies with organizations such as University for Peace (Erazu, Costa Rica) and External Affairs Canada.
* Stewardship and networking in bioenergetic medicine in conjunction with such institutions as Fetzer Institute, Centre for Frontier Science and the World Research Foundation.
* Organization, co-sponsorship of learned conferences in Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, Vancouver, Hull, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Atlanta, Hannover, Einsiedeln, Amsterdam, Denver, Colorado Springs, Milwaukee, and Chicago on clean energy science and technology and bioenergetics.
* Research, documentation on electromagnetic field problems and worldwide stewardship of remedial measures. Specialized courses. Radiation and environmental survey services. Research has been commissioned by such organizations as the National Research Council of Canada, the Science Council of Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Manitoba Hydro, the Canadian Meteorological Centre, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, the City of Hull, the City of Longueuil and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Also: EMF product testing.
