Howard then realized that the natural gas, oil, and coal industries could invest in building geothermal plants as a new source of revenue, turning Green Energy into a revenue creator, and not competition. This profound realization posed the question, “How could this form of energy be used in America?” After further research, Howard realized that Yellowstone National Park contained one of the world’s largest super-volcanoes, and plenty of water needed for geothermal, pollution-free energy. Another fact is, in Iceland, geothermal power enables higher living standards, lower heating costs, and even less pollution. Due to the geological location of Iceland, a large number of volcanoes in the area is often an advantage for the generation of geothermal energy, which is the heating and making of electricity. Approximately 85% of all houses in Iceland are heated with geothermal energy.
Howard, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for speed reading, and can read 25,000 words per minute, discovered that in Iceland 99.99% of electricity is generated using renewable energy with a substantial percentage coming from geothermal energy. After reading over 30,000 books, he started looking for a way to turn America’s energy green, put people back to work, and eliminate the enormous national deficit. Special Forces at Fort Bragg, and had worked with numerous Fortune 500 companies, associations, and educational institutions spanning the globe. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused a shutdown for the majority of the world, Howard trained the Royal Thai Army in Bangkok, the U.S. Students as young as 11 were acing college-level courses, in as little as a week, and writing 28-page MLM cited reports at a graduate school level in just four hours!
Afterwards Howard started his own school and sought to understand and solve the learning issues that exist. Today, Howard is the Executive Director of Berg Learning Systems and has been enlightening others about accelerated learning for 35 years, and also spent 10 years in NYC’s inner-city schools. During his senior year, he completed a four-year Psychology program, while simultaneously working 3 jobs, and scored an 800 on the Biology GRE placing him in the 99% percentile, in the world, for graduating biologists. At 17, Howard attended the State University of NY at Binghamton and majored in Biology. A place where gangs wouldn’t be caught dead but also one that allowed Howard to develop a college reading level at age 11. Growing up in the gang-infested projects of Brooklyn, Howard Stephen Berg found that the safest place in the neighborhood was the library. PS – Ok one great read from this week was Matt Levine’s summary of The Purdue Bankruptcy That Did Not Work.It is often said that something magnificent can be found in the most obscure place. Today I am going to do my last long ride of the year with my pal Jono. I have an extremely busy January of deadlines and work that I am preparing for this week. Hopefully these shows keep you busy during this holiday week. I also started watching 1883 which is a ‘Prequel to Yellowstone’.Īll three shows are paramount by the way which is pretty impressive in a world of the giants Netflix and HBO.Įllen and I also finally got around to watching O.J. A very unique storyline and Jeremy Renner is great My friend Russ Fradin recommended Mayor of Kingstown to me and that was a great binge so far.
#Howard berg reading course series
I did catch up on a favorite series of mine – Season 4 of Yellowstone. Odd Lots ( I have been on their podcast to talk about SPAC’s) has a great podcast on the Dutch giant ASML which is on the cutting edge of chips.įinally, Bloomberg recently had a piece on the chip shortage and why it might only get worse. Shane Parrish of The Knowledge Project has a deep dive ‘ All About Semiconductors‘ episode that is great. The 9th largest company in the world is The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and The Acquired FM podcast does a deep dive complete history. I decided I needed a crash course in all things semiconductors and assembled some excellent listens on the subject.
I intend to do the same this coming week. It is the last Sunday reading list of the year and I have been in slow mode all week, not reading much.
