<div><br></div><div>some additional 5 cents notes - </div><div>in relation to alternative finance, energy, norway's sovereign fund, and a potential research centre / investment scheme.</div><div><br><div>I find a interesting synergy possible with other neighbors, such as, in this example,</div>
<div>with iceland.</div><div><br></div><div>See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%A1ri_McCarthy">Smari's</a> interview of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Lietaer">Bernard Lietaer</a> :</div><div>

<div><br></div><div>Although such approach would still be centralized, and not lead to a fully p2p approach,</div><div>I hope it could prevent the collapse of complex societies dependent on high energy consumption. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Using energy as a currency is also a interesting prospect set forward by some people we may know or be in touch with, such as Chris Cook,</div><div>who proposed to directly trade with oil / energy guaranteed currencies</div>

<p>You will find the interview with Michael starting after 19 minutes, <br>
lasting 8+ minutes.<br>
<br>
It was sent on primed time on the state national channel NRK2 (the <br>
serious documentary channel), in a workdays daily debate program that I <br>
record every day.<br>

<br>
The meeting yesterday in the most popular debate house in Oslo, the <br>
House of Literature just behind the Royal Castle, drew a record 400 <br>
listeners, making it necessary to set up a video transferral to another <br>
hall in addition.<br>
<br>
His co-debaters were good with serious arguments.<br>
