The Rebirth of Our Nation
and the Foundation for a New Nation - Spearheaded by Our Veterans
__________________________________
Finding the solution to this problem was only the first of what eventually became some 1,300 solutions our team had to deal with over these last 4 years - not only in the creation of the first nearly indestructible, zero energy, zero carbon, zero pollution, completely self-sustaining production home in the World (150 patents-in-process) - but also in the creation of a new species of bank (a World first), a new species of RE development, an entirely new home building system using an all veteran workforce - to name a few.
Project Noah's Ark™ is now complete. The R&D is finished and paid for without a government grant or loan, the blueprints are in the hands of some dozen builders, billions of dollars in mortgage loans are available through the Veteran;s Green Bank™ (a civilian extension of the GI Bill), millions of acres of farmland are available for our American Freedom Villages™, and we have a potential workforce of one million of the best workers in the world - our veterans. The web page below explains a portion of our team's work. The goal of the Project is to build 25,000 American Freedom Villages™ on 25,000 separate 40 acre organic farms all across the Nation over the next 10 years. This goal will create some 15 million new, high paying American jobs (with one million of the first jobs reserved for our veterans), and it will pump $1 trillion immediately back into our economy across a broad range of industries,
Our American SuperHomes™ are the original 'Global Warming Homes' - created to accomplish two things: First, help prevent Global Warming (if we have not passed the 'tipping point') by reducing carbon dioxide emissions in our homes and villages to net zero through 100% rooftop solar and extreme conservation of energy - and second - to survive the consequences of Global Warming (if we have passed the 'tipping point'). Our proprietary Ceramic Concrete Superstructure™ is guaranteed to survive all hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and wildfires as well as droughts.
We are also the Nation's most powerful solar program. Meeting our goal of building one million American SuperHomes™ in the next 10 years - each with 2,500 sf of PV or solar panels - will produce a demand for 2.5 billion sf or 57,400 acres of PV panels (all made in America). That is 35 times larger than the largest single PV array in the Nation (1,600 acres). If Project Noah's Ark™ is carried into the second phase - to 2060 - we will have produced some 4,000,000 acres of PV spread across this Nation (a distributed grid system) reducing our carbon footprint as a Nation to near zero. And all of this costs the taxpayers NOTHING. The veterans pay for this through the home mortgages obtained through the Veteran's Green Bank™.
Will All this Really Work? We've been here before - and it did work.
The
Greatest Generation
After years of great prosperity in
the 1920's, America's financial industry collapsed. The stock market
crashed followed by massive bank failures and the bankruptcy of
businesses as well as hundreds of thousands of home and farm
foreclosures. This Great Depression lasted from 1932 to 1934.
Following the Great Depression, this generation endured a massive
ecological disaster called the Great Dust Bowl - a drought
encompassed the entire central U.S. - that displaced hundreds of
thousands of already impoverished people.
Following on
the heels of those two disasters, in 1939, our Nation entered World
War II against the World's most powerful Nations on opposite sides of
the globe. These wars it left the Nation nearly bankrupt. The
veterans returning from the wars came back to a financially broken
Nation with massive unemployment and poverty - a Nation without the
money to recover. Yet, the Greatest Generation not only recovered -
it went on to build the Great American Middle Class and decades of
great prosperity.
How did they do it? And can we use their solution to recovery from our own economic, financial, political, and ecological disasters?
Echoes
of the Past
We face much the same problems today.
The ecological disasters of hurricane Katrina, super storm Sandy,
tornadoes, wide spread power outages, record heat waves, droughts,
wildfires, floods - and growing Global Warming signs that foretell of
much more serious ecological disasters to come. The financial
collapse of 2008 was not as serious as the Great Depression of 1934,
but combined with our dysfunctional political system, it has brought
us to the brink of the collapse of the stock market, our banking
system, and even our Nation - repeatedly. We have ended one war in
Iraq costing us trillions of dollars and are ending the longest war
in our history in Afghanistan with more war clouds on the hoeizon. We
have wounded veterans coming back to a broken and dysfunctional
America, and as with the Greatest Generation, many returning vets
feel that the VA and their Country have abandoned them once service
to their Nation is over. Yet our veterans are not looking for a hand
out - they are looking for a new mission.
The
Reincarnation of 'The Greatest Generation'
Project
Noah's Ark is the reincarnation of the Greatest Generation on many
levels. Our recovery will come about the same way the Greatest
Generation recovered - through a rebirth of a new GI Bill. After the
Great Depression, the Great Dust Bowl, and World Wars, this Nation
was nearly bankrupt with little money left for economic recovery
programs. But they did have the GI Bill that created low interest
home loans allowing them to afford to build homes for their families.
And they did - in the millions - injecting billions of dollars
directly back into the Nation's ailing economy and creating the great
Middle Class.
.
The
New GI Bill – The Veteran's Green Bank™
Project Noah's Ark™™
is expanding the original GI Bill with a new species of bank called
the Veteran's Green Bank™ - a private bank like the big banks that
will borrow money directly from Federal Reserve at 1% for 60 years
(reflecting the longer lifespan of the American SuperHome™) and
then pass this loan directly through to the veterans as mortgages.
This reduces the 5,500 sf, $600,000 American SuperHome™ mortgage
from $3,500/mo. to an affordable $1,200/mo. - about the cost of a two
bedroom home including utilities. It costs the government and the
taxpayers nothing - it is a loan that is repaid - just like the
original GI Bill home loans. Once implimented, this program will pump
$1 trillion directly and immediately back into the American economy
and create some 15 million new American jobs within 10 years giving
birth to a new American Middle Class.
Project Noah's Ark is a veterans project from start to finish. Veterans will be the first employed with more than one million quality, high paid military-to-civilian jobs reserved specifically for them as well as one million American Superhomes™ reserved exclusively for them - co-signed and guaranteed by the nonprofit foundation, Project Noah's Ark, Inc. (See the complete veteran's plan at 'Welcome Home Veterans ).
The
Plan is Complete
It
took 4 years of intense planning on the part of our
founder, Noah
West,
and his team, but now the Project is finally ready to be implemented.
The blueprints are completed and in he hands of some dozen builders,
thetechnology has
been tested by our founder over the last 35 years; the materials
are readily available; we have millions of acres of farmland
available for our Village
Farms; the Veteran's
Green Bank™ can
provide unlimited low cost mortgages to our veterans; and we have a
potential army of one million of the very best workers in the
World - our American
veterans.
It
Costs the Taxpayers Nothing
Project
Noah's Ark™ costs the government and the taxpayers nothing -
no infrastructure money, no government or VA grants, and no R&D
funding - and
we don't have to pass a bill through Congress. We
are private corporations (the non-profit Project Noah's Ark and the
for profit American Freedom Superhomes, Inc.) that are not controlled
by a political party, the military, the government, or Wall Street.
All of our funding comes from a private $50 million stock offering
and from homes financed through the Veteran's
Green Bank™.
The only two remaining things we need is the support and
registration of our veterans, and the help of an American President
who will expand the GI Bill to include the 'Veteran's Green
Bank™.
The
Initial Private Offering of Stock
Project
Noah's Ark is entering the
final phase of its
development prior to full production - the creation of the for-profit
'C' corporation that will actually build the one million American Superhomes™. If the goals of PNA are met, American Superhomes, Inc. will have produced $700 billion to one trillion in
revenues by 9/11/21 and $50 trillion in total revenues by 2050
- potentially
making it one of the largest
corporations in the world.
We
have no stock for sale at this time,
but we are making gifts of
a very limited amount of original Class 'A' Founding stock in this
corporation (see bottom of this page). A $50 million Reg. D,
Rule 506 Private
Stock Offering is
now being prepared and will be available within weeks. The
proceeds from this first private offering of stock will go to build
the first American Freedom Village™

6 Stages of Project Noah's Ark
Solving the technology of the superHome and solving the financing were only the first two steps in the creation of Project Noah's Ark™. We needed to find a way to solve the zoning problems the SuperHome presented. Currently, nearly all developments in America are zoned for single purpose use - and the American SuperHome™ is a multi use home with a full 3,000 sf Village Shop on the first floor. We solved this problem by taking advantage of our greatest asset - our Villages need no electric, sewer, or water lines - we are fully self-contained - the counties do not need to build or expand sewage or water treatment plants and this, together with the low density of one home per acre, means that we can avoid time consuming DRI requirements that can take years to approve. It is a huge solution that allows us to build our Villages on millions of acres of farmland and woodlands and still comply with all zoning requirements as well as avoiding highly speculated land.
Our Noah's Ark Global Villages™ are totally self-contained, requiring no electric, water, or sewer lines. As a result, we can build our Villages on farmland anywhere - and farm land outside cities is very abundant and inexpensive. Also there is no economic impact on the county in building expensive water and sewage lines, or treatment plants – an important consideration in time and money when getting a development approved.

Unlimited funding from VGB
Project Noah's Ark™, is not just another smoke-and-mirrors political program or another ivory tower critique about what is wrong with America or another 'mission statement' protest movement - it is a solid, real, grassroots, bricks-and-mortar program - 35 years in development - to rebuild this Nation from the ground up by creating a program that will allow the veterans to build one million World Class homes called the American SuperHome™ for themselves and their families. This massive Project will create 15 million new jobs for all Americans plus one million of the first jobs for our vets as well as injecting one trillion dollars directly into our economy over the next 10 years and as much as $84 trillion by 2060. It is also this Nation's most powerful solar program to permanently end our addiction to oil and fossil fuels. And all at no cost to the government or the taxpayers and without the need to pass a bill through Congress.

So Where Do We Start?
There are 70 million single family homes in America, not counting 45 million other kinds of dwellings. Rebuilding this many single family homes is not going to happen overnight. It could happen in 35 years if we were to build an average of 2 million American Superhomes™ each year. How? A lot of pieces would have to come together very quickly and very successfully, but here is a plan we are confident will work:
Our IPO - Funding The American SuperHome™
Small amount of funding due to planning
Grants vs IPO
Unlimited funding from VGB
First, we need the Affirmative Action, Veteran's Green Bank™. Without it we might as well lock up the shop and go home. Rebuilding an energy independent America will not happen. We simply see no other possibility.
Second, we need to build 20 regional Noah's Ark Global Training Centers™ across the Country using the first of the mortgage loans from the 'Veteran's Green Bank'. Education is our first priority. After 30 years of misinformation, misdirection, and propaganda by the electric utility cartels, America is in desperate need of the real truth about rooftop solar and reliable sources of accurate, hands-on, practical education in alternate energy, advanced construction technologies, advanced solar energy technologies, ultra-high energy efficient insulation technologies, alternate sources of pure natural food and water, reducing land and water pollution, and new concepts on co-existing with the animal and plant environments. These campuses will include demonstration American Superhomes™ of various sizes and architecture styles that will be used both as models and as centers of hands-on education for both the public, for the K-12 schools, and colleges. Each Noah's Ark Global Training Center™ can train 25,000+ veterans each year and host 70,00 guests each year in our Bed & Breakfast suites.
Third, we need a construction army. Fortunately, we have a potential army standing by – one million of the post 9/11 veterans that have returned from Iraqi and Afghanistan in need of a new mission'. Our special Ceramic Concrete construction process is very similar to a military logistic operation requiring moving men, materials, and heavy equipment to sites and using close teamwork support to complete the operation. Using our veterans and military style operations is the only way that I see of going from zero to one million American Superhomes™ per year by the end of this decade (2020). The Rebuilding of America by our vets can become America’s Final Great War – the first one that doesn’t involve killing
Fourth, we need to assemble an army of the finest of American craftsmen and entrepreneurs to supply the skills and labor needed to build and furnish these homes. Many of these new jobs can be cottage industries that require comparatively little start up capital or a formal education. This can allow millions of people that have lost their jobs in these hard times to start new careers in a new direction.
The building of 70 million American Superhomes™ (plus 45 million other dwelling units) is the largest task ever undertaken by America over shadowing the Space Race and even WW ll. It will pump an estimated $84 trillion back into the American economy by 2050. Directly or indirectly this task could employ as many as half of all working Americans for many years. But if we can stay the course, we will have a healthier, stronger, safer, and more financially secure Nation - completely energy independent, producing zero CO2, zero pollution, and built to withstand any and all of the consequences of Global Warming – for many centuries to come.
