05 May 04 Our Next President: Spam, Hydrogen and Spaceship Earth

I received a spam email today touting Harry Braun for President. Here is the banner image and accompanying quote:

Harry Braun’s Vision for America & Spaceship Earth
The Windship images were painted by Artist William Bond for
The National Geographic Society

Braun, a so called Analyst and author is running as an Independent Candidate for President based on his Phoenix Project plan to employ millions of Americans and supercharge the economy by making America energy independent of all fossil and nuclear fuels by 2010. He will accomplish this by mass-producing wind-powered hydrogen production systems, including sea-based ‘Windships’ like the ones pictured above. The tugboat in the picture shuttlinging the crew that will live and work in the submerged spherical hull. The hulls also contain the electrolytic hydrogen production systems that will make hydrogen from the seawater with the electricity generated by the mast of wind turbines. Braun claims that the equipment located under the water will create a “vast sanctuary for the fish and other marine organisms that will otherwise be driven into extinction by 2010, if business and ‘politics as usual’ is allowed to continue.”

Spaceship Earth!! You go Harry!! Phoenix Project is awesome but it’s not going to propell you to the Whitehouse!
