Learning to understand exponential growth

If you only look at a very short section of an exponential curve, it looks pretty straight, which gave rise to the belief that there is no energy transition at all.

People tend to completely ignore things that completely destroy their own world view. Someone visits a factory that builds electric semi-trailers. A pilot customer - Pepsi Cola - is already using them. The visitor does not believe that electric semi-trailers are possible. Was this visitor a flat-earther? An anti-progressive person who believes in eternal oil? I once read a saying: “A good salesperson pulls his customer across the table so quickly that he feels the frictional heat as the warmth of the nest”. This certainly works quite well with ordinary customers, but you have to be a genius master of sales to do this with the industry leader in computers, IBM: Bill Gates and his deal with IBM over MS-DOS. This same sales genius stood in the Tesla factory for electric semitrailers and said that this could not exist. Did he make calculations about battery weight and power consumption? No, just a gut feeling. Bill Gates does believe in renewable energy from the sun and wind, but only for part of electricity generation. For the majority of electricity generation, only geothermal energy and nuclear power plants. Why? As his visit to the Tesla semi-truck factory shows, he has no interest in batteries.

Exponential growth

The famous legend of the grain of rice (or more commonly grain of wheat) on the chessboard is an ancient Indian story that illustrates exponential growth. It is usually associated with Sissa ibn Dahir (also known as Sessa or Sissa ben Dahir), a wise Brahmin who is considered the inventor of the game of chess (or its precursor Chaturanga). The story A long time ago in India there was a king called Shihram (or Shirham, Balhait or similar, depending on the version). He was bored or tyrannical and unjust to his people. The wise Brahmin Sissa ibn Dahir invented the game of chess for him to show him the importance of strategy, cooperation and that the king alone can do nothing (without pawns and other pieces). The king enjoyed the game immensely. Full of gratitude, the king offered Sissa a reward - gold, silver, land, whatever he wanted. Sissa modestly refused the lavish gifts and instead asked for something seemingly small: “Place a single grain of rice (or grain of wheat) on the first square of the chessboard. Place two grains on the second square, four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on - on each subsequent square exactly double the number of grains on the previous one until all 64 squares are filled.” The king laughed at this “modest” request. He thought it was a trifle and ordered his servants to fulfill the wish immediately. But after just a few fields, the court mathematicians and grain managers realized the problem: the quantities were growing at breakneck speed. Field 54 would be the entire current world harvest of rice, field 55 the entire current world harvest of wheat. But then there are the remaining fields up to 64.

Installed photovoltaics doubled 14.46 times since 1990

If we start with the photovoltaics installed worldwide in 1990, we are now between chess fields 14 and 15. Between chess fields 20 and 21 lies the goal of worldwide wealth plus planetary renovation with the reduction of 2 ppm CO2 per year. If you look at just a few kilometers of the earth's surface, it looks pretty flat, which is where the belief of flat-earthers came from. If you only look at a very short section of an exponential curve, it looks pretty straight, which gave rise to the belief that there is no energy transition at all.

5 million HUF share capital is the minimum

Great, €13,352 in the account for the share capital, but surprise, it's only just over HUF 5 million. For several newsletters I wrote: Fortunately, that's HUF and only €12,778.38. Since my last calculation, the HUF has increased. At today's exchange rate, the minimum share capital is €13,234.52. Ideally, the company should be founded with more than € 24,000 in share capital. The foundation should take place in April 2026. The search for investors for the prototype will only continue after the successful establishment of Zrt. (unlisted public limited company in Hungary). Finding €400,000 requires other methods than for €24,000. The prototype will most likely be realized on the property of Mr. Kamml, which is located directly south of ADEG in Unken. The proximity to Salzburg is a locational advantage for the planned invitation of industrialists and politicians from all over the world. Every small contribution counts towards the rapid realization of the share capital. At the moment, multiples of € 120, a block of 30 shares for the buyer. 40 × € 600 is also € 24,000. Here to the share price development. This far-reaching solution concept must not fail due to the total ignorance of investors in German-speaking countries. Perhaps I would have found an investor in the German-speaking world for “The self-sufficient survival house for the rich, only one million each”. That would have fitted in perfectly with the local rip-off mentality. But that's not me. Here is our offer to join in

Who are we? Our shareholders

There are more entries on “Who are we? Our shareholders.” I ask all old and hopefully soon numerous new shareholders for contributions of this kind. New entry of the week: Manfred Schrenk.

He has been organizing the CORP Conference since 1995.

What kind of world would we live in today without shareholders?

For decades, left-wingers have portrayed the term “shareholder” in a negative light. In some cases, they even copied caricatures from “Der Stürmer”. But what world would we live in today without shareholders? Here Travel by stagecoach, such an ordeal it was before the Central Pacific Union Pacific stock companies built the railroad from the East Coast of the U.S. to the West Coast. A rider on the Pony Express was an extremely risky job. But then in 1861, Western Union, the very company I used to transfer money to my video artist in Kazakhstan, built the first coast-to-coast telegraph line. An association, such as Greenpeace and WWF, is a great way to protest and make demands. A public limited company, on the other hand, is the organizational form with which you can improve the world through new products. Who would want to be a stagecoach driver or Pony Express rider today? The cowboy is very romanticized in Hollywood Westerns, but in reality it was a very badly paid, very hard job. Leftists don't understand the concept of creating new values. For them, everything is just redistribution. But how has the standard of living improved since professions such as stagecoach driver, Pony Express rider or cowboy were replaced by technological progress? All through newly created value.

Recruiting new shareholders

So far, only 5% of our shareholders have become shareholders themselves through new shareholders. This should increase significantly in the future. The offer is 10% of the shares purchased for a direct referral and 5% for an assist. I understand the term assist in the same way as in soccer: whoever passes the ball to the scorer has made an assist.
