Ra Puriri

Our six children and grandchildren are our greatest joy. I am passionate about doing my part to make the world a better place for my children, grandchildren and others.

I worked on this project in 2011. At Willow Beach Recreation Area at Lake Mead, below the Hoover Dam in Nevada. Under Water Plumbers. Geothermal project using the cold water, 45F degrees year round, to cool the buildings. No chiller and no cooling tower.Thanks to Mother Earth!

About

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze then it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor every atom of me in magnificent glow than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time”. - Jack London
