Hi there, I’m Porter Arbogast, Let me tell you about some of my experience, I invented the Mini Power Tower in the 1970’s very early in my career. I have degrees in mathematics and engineering, I fell in love with Solar Energy really early in my life, long before I decided to go back to school and become a mechanical engineer. My first patent on the Mini Power Tower was granted in 1976.

I owe everything to this young fellow’s determination. There were, of course, hard lessons along the way. The concentrator the mini power tower is one thing but automatic servicing is quite another. However I knew early that these things would be inextricably linked. Knowing this allowed for smart upward compatibility choices during early development.

Agrarianism has become a central theme around this work. It’s the idea of what kind of communities will spawn in the rural desert across American deserts and deserts around the world, should the right solar product immerge. It’s in this spirit of an agrarian community that our current plans for 2025 and beyond are immerging. We’ll get specific about this approach in the products, product highlights and investors sections, but it all speaks to the kind of community involvement and agrarian marketing that can make this all work on a grand scale.

So check out the details following to see better how things have evolved over the years, and how we’ve arrived at this critical moment in time for this technology to immerge. A technology we’ve guarded and shielded until today. You can expect to see a lot of open sourcing both of hardware and software. Our job now is to get out of the way. and let an immerging agrarian community take the reigns.

Porter Arbogast aka Jake Moon

A recent story about Jake Moon was published by a young fellow Ben Felker-Quinn who came to my desert hide away not long ago, the place where we’ve been doing Research and Development for the last 5 years. We’ll let Ben’s story speak for itself.

Through much of my adult life I have lived in a variety of desert locations, but none that offer as deep of a desert understanding as my present local. One develops a prospective you just can’t get from a downtown engineering suite.

So fancifully, I’ve always seen myself as an entertainer despite shyness and stage fright, and I’ve played music all my life, I’m 73 now. There’s been bands and open mic’s across the country that have put up with me, thankfully. I think Jake has an important role here, and there is place for entertainment in an agrarian community. We see ourselves as an underdogs in the real world scenario, we want to welcome one and all to this community that can grow with just a little love and care. You can expect to see this play out on YouTube. In many ways this is drama… there will be exciting moments as milestones are achieved.. and disappointments as well if we miss one, but Jake will try to capture it all as he focuses on Web Content and on YouTube.

Porter Arbogast experience

Following is a .pdf (downloadable) highlighting some of the great life experiences I have had that prepared us well for this next big step. One of those experiences was VP of Research and Development of eSolar, a company that raised hundreds of millions of dollars to do a Power Tower product:

Agrarianism

I think the best way to start talking about agrarianism is to repost an email I sent Ben who I mentioned above:

Hi Ben,

“Here’s my partial response to your community-based scale question (more details in a few days):

You asked:

I’m very intrigued by the solar farming model and curious whether you might pose it differently on a community-based scale? Also about the east coast connections…”

Jeffersonian Agrarianism came to mind first for me when I think about a community-based scale solar farming.  So, I thought I’d better look it up, it’s been a long time since, I learned about these things. So long I don’t remember where, when or even why.  But I have been fascinated by the word agrarian for a long time and I know it was associated in my mind with Thomas Jefferson.

So, i decided to look up Jeffersonian Agrarianism:

“Jeffersonian agrarianism was a philosophy that valued agriculture over industry, and believed that a rural society was better than an urban one. Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was a proponent of this philosophy.  

Beliefs

• Jefferson believed that farmers were the “chosen people of God” and had a “substantial and genuine virtue”.  
• He believed that farming would create independent, strong-willed citizens.  
• He feared that industrialization would create a class of wage laborers who would be economically and politically dependent on others.  
• He believed that merchants and manufacturers were not suited for self-government.  

Policies  

• Jefferson introduced a graduated income tax to discourage large accumulations of wealth.
• He also introduced tariffs on imported goods, which were mainly purchased by the wealthy.”*

*This Is a direct quote from goggle Ai,  should AI give references?? Lol

Also, I decided to look up Agrarianism itself, to quote wiki:

“Agrarianism is a social and political philosophy that advocates for rural development, a rural agricultural lifestyle, family farming, widespread property ownership, and political decentralization.^[1][2] Those who adhere to agrarianism tend to value traditional forms of local community over urban modernity.^[3] Agrarian political parties sometimes aim to support the rights and sustainability of small farmers and poor peasants against the wealthy, powerful and famous in society.”

Upon further reading in Wiki on the subject of “Agrarianism” I’ve been horrified to discover that much has gone wrong in history under political parties based on Agrarian models including famines.  Anyway, I wish to tread lightly here in the use of the word Agrarian and Agrarianism as not all outcomes have been good. [I’m adding here that I’ve also read of nothing gone wrong with Jeffersonian Agrarianism and I would say it was key in shaping rural American life style post Revolutionary war]

But back to the idea of a community-based scale,  first let me describe my solar collector as combination of a technological achievement (or technological component) in addition to an Agrarian based community concept or component.  I know full well developers who might want to employ my inventions and ideas may not deploy such a system as mine in an Agrarian way as I’m envisioning.  It’s the equivalent of the family farm vs. corporate farming or industrial farming.  The growth of the monopolistic industrial model of farming itself and that kind of centralization which has come with the industrial revolution.  

Today, most large-scale solar collectors are Corporate owned, but I don’t think it has to be that way or necessarily be more successful in that way with a solar collector such as I propose.

There are [will be] lots of small business opportunities for communities and individuals to participate. This includes hydrogen fuel stations, local suppliers of components supporting solar farms. Local educational institutions training individuals who help build install and prepare future solar farmers. and, of course, the hydrogen farms themselves.  Also, final assembly of kits [produced in the USA] and around the world could fall to the local communities.  I think it is much more efficient to have finally assembly of kits assembled local to the community where they will be deployed, the hydrogen farmers themselves can buy the solar collector in kit form, for example, decreasing the amount of money on cost of the systems and what individuals may have to borrow from lenders.  The kits themselves would be far less bulky saving shipping costs. Community built means local pride.

More community topics:

• Jobs that give individual community members owners workers, hosts and partners dignity visa vie good community economics 
• Community support
• Community conflicts
• Community lending institutions
• Environmental conflicts
• Local land management conflicts
• Aesthetics
• Low vs. high mount
• Other examples of this kind of economic deployment. (Farming of course, but also the housing industry)
• “The New Desert Agrarianism”
• [adding one additional topic here “the Future Hydrogen Famers of America” I would say here that it would be this possible organization that could carry forward what I’m now calling “The New Desert Agrarianism”]

Ben, I thought I’d send what I have so far, in a few days I’ll have more on these topics,  can you think of any additional topics?  Thanks again for your continued interest!

Cheers,

Jake

Here’s Another AI Overview

The phrase “all men are created equal” is from the Declaration of Independence, specifically the preamble, and was written by Thomas Jefferson. While Jefferson wrote it, the Declaration itself was a product of the Continental Congress and included revisions from other members of the committee. The phrase was adopted on July 4, 1776. 

What ever has been said about our founding fathers coming from Jefferson this says a lot about his views of agrarianism and America.

It Starts Here!

We’re on a pathway to a new agrarian way of life. Call it Agrarian Entrepreneurship if you will. I believe one day there will be little or no money down low Interest loans to build Hydrogen Farms and Ranches and other Mini Power Tower configurations. The best among should get these opportunities.. Perhaps we can help decide who together among us is the next. But seniority will and should count. You can get a number on this list (see products). Right now we’re the Center of the New Desert Agrarianism and we want you to come camp and learn and dream with us and help us all make this happen together! We’re counting on you, the world is counting on you!
