More Recently:

In January of 2007 I submitted a proposal to the Erie Township, MI planning commission to form a
subcommittee, or taskforce, to study the feasibility of building a Waste to Energy Power Plant on our
local sanitary landfill, called Vienna Junction.

I had recently discovered Electro Plasma Arc Gasification technology (EPAG) on the Internet and felt
this technology could help the community reclaim the 8 million tons of buried waste, which had
been accumulating at the “Junction" since the late 60’s, and help Erie Township become energy
independent of foreign oil in 5 years.

A task force was commissioned. I am Chairman of the Erie Waste to Energy project (EWE)
subcommittee.

So, my primary objective right now is to identify and develop the necessary technology to make
EWE a reality.

I am searching for a vendor to supply a EPAG Plant to produce hydrocarbon fuels from MSW, tires,
medical wastes, etc., as well as electricity, from the waste process heat. The low grade heat will be
used to supply energy to an adjacent Aquaponics facility that is in the planning stages,

I will work with the vendor’s engineers to interface EPAG with a Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) waste
heat to electricity generating plant. The ORC vendor is yet to be identified, but there are at least
two candidates so far. More later.
