Building Peace Between Nations, One Link After Another

Dear GENI Friend,

I grew up in a Rotary family. My dad was a life-long Rotarian. Rotary is the largest global service organization, with 1.2 million members and 34,000 local clubs in 200 countries. Their motto of "service above self" is demonstrated by thousands of local and international projects.

The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary (San Diego, CA) embraced the GENI Initiative 12 years ago, supporting our exhibit at numerous Rotary International (RI) Conventions since 2000.

In January, 2016, the Rotary World Peace Conference is in Ontario, California. I am honored to be invited to speak on the GENI Initiative and its potential for peace between nations and for the world.

It's a simple argument – the more you trade electricity with your neighbor, the economic benefits are so great that you don't want to shoot your customer or supplier!

Peter Meisen at GENI Exhibit in 2014

Renowned Newsman Walter Cronkite called the GENI strategy to link renewable energy resources between nations "the most thoughtful strategy towards peace and sustainable development I have seen."

Barbara Gaughen-Muller interviewed me as lead up to the Peace Conference. You can listen to that conversation: http://www.peaceconference2016.org/peter-meisen

We close by remembering our GENI Board member who passed away this month. Dr. Janathin Miller was a force of nature with a huge heart and a passion for making a difference. We have attached a Tribute to our friend. She will be missed.
