Suffering from Cassandra Complex
I consider myself a lucky man. I was hired under the Research Addressed to National Needs Program at Brookhaven National Lab; helped developed DOE's Energy Conservation Utilization Technology division; and I was trained by my mentor to be a futurist and an optimist. I've worked in and for companies and organizations that want practical and applied solutions for the petroleum, agricultural, food and mining industries as a consultant. I've been ignored, laughed at and revered for ideas, concepts and opinions. I believe science and technology has solutions and ignorance and poverty create most of the world's problems.
Previous innovative efforts in applied process chemistry have resulted in a new metal winning process; homogeneous and heterogeneous high activity catalysts; diesel soot reduction, advanced lubricants and additives for submarines and aircraft and created alternative ignition catalysts for advanced monopropellants, slickwater fracking and bio-based deicing and dielectric fluids. The National Research Council has recognized my innovative methanol patent as a future “benchmark discovery in catalysis”. I received an IR&D Award for one of the best technical innovations of 2001 and was a co-winner of a 2014 Innov8 Award. In addition, I built several teams assessing new technology and organized technical teams for pollution reduction and hazardous materials minimization and for the NASA commercial development of space.
In addition, I lectured at the university level, have authored over 75 publications and patents and have been an invited speaker at universities, professional meetings, conferences and symposia. At BNL, I was consultant to MIT chemical Engineering Practice School programs and won teaching awards at 2 major universities.

RESET
|
The Reset trilogy is a series of science, political and realist fiction novels. Book 1, Resolve chronicles the negotiated geoengineering of Earth to avoid nuclear annihilation, overpopulation and ecological disaster. Future books will portray the terraforming, societal survival and recovery through feasible developing technologies over the first six months and the subsequent reconstitution of global governing from the personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters. The trilogy spans a 2 year period of resolution, resettlement and recovery. Ultimately more utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and actual scientific advances made and applied set in a time and place that are true to life (i.e. that could actually happen in the real world), abiding by real-world laws of nature. They depict real people, places, and stories in order to be as truthful as possible.
As a fictional imitatio trilogy of the conflict induced cooperation to instigate and the potential consequences of geoengineering sunlight reflection, the fundamental feature is covert use of history and science without parody to create a realist scenario for the near future using the memory and reverence for the great men of the past as heroes to be imitated.
Realist and other scholars commonly hold that rationally led states can and sometimes do fight when no peaceful bargains exist that both would prefer to war. Against this view, this book shows that under very broad conditions there will exist negotiated settlements that genuinely rational states would mutually prefer.
