DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE
Nolan has raised over
five million dollars
through private placements for the
development of a commercial
aquaculture
research venture in Hawaii. The fund
raising process involved the
development of detailed legal
prospectuses
and a
nation-wide series of seminars and
presentations. Nolan
also
gained
considerable
experience
in
lead
management,
database
development
and
in
making
follow
up
contacts.
·
Nolan has
successfully
managed a wide range of complex and
detailed projects, many concurrently. He
was an early adopter of fast track
methods to
prioritize the
allocation of time, funding and human
resources. He
has
excellent
communication
skills
and
works
well
with
others.
·
Nolan
has developed
business plans for a seafood
restaurant and the Solar Metro
Online website and other businesses
developments still in progress
(abstracts below).

Solar Metro is a
new startup in
the
field of advanced
technology transportation services
that intends to provide a cost
effective
petroleum-free transportation solution
to Bay Area commuters.
The business plan identifies
two markets in
which we believe that technological
advances will synergistically
converge with
rising oil prices creating an
outstanding business opportunity. These
markets are advanced electric vehicles
for commuters combined with home
installed roof-top mounted
photovoltaic solar
energy systems. In
summary, the
electric vehicles will be recharged
after work by solar energy
deposited into
the grid during the day at peak
prices and withdrawn at night at off
peak rates.
Our customers will enjoy a safe,
reliable, high performance electric
car with a
range of 200 miles that is cost free
fuel-wise and emits zero emissions. In addition
home electric bills will be
eliminated.
Our overall goal is to
grow and fine tune a profitable local
enterprise while developing a
business
model that may be applied throughout
the state, the nation or worldwide. The market
for these convergent services in
California is immense.
Our vision is that
the venture
will
ultimately result in a
publicly traded corporation. Our
initial target market is professionals
that commute from Santa Cruz to
Silicon
Valley. In
essence these commuters are
trapped between rising gasoline prices
versus the need for personal
transport
freedom. This
is especially true for high
tech workers who routinely spend long
hours and engage in irregular and
prolonged work schedules. This makes
mass transit and car pools
unattractive or
unacceptable.
For this and other
reasons, the
single
occupant vehicle is
the most common form of transportation
for a Santa Cruz commuter
accounting for
78% of all traffic in the county--a
testimony
to
the
commuter’s
fundamental
need
for
freedom to choose when
and
where he or she needs to be to make
money. Solar
Metro,
Inc.
is
dedicated
to
making
that
commute
more
secure,
less
costly,
and
much
less
destructive
to the environment.
Our
slogan
is “Running on Sunshine.”

Abstract
The
Solar-Powered
Emergency
Transportation
and
Energy
System
(SPETES)
project
will
research
and develop technologies to use
solar
energy to
fuel advanced electric vehicles
(compact sedans, mini-vans,
mini-Suvs)
capable
of providing emergency
transportation and emergency power
services. SPETES
is intended to address a
high-impact,
low-probability incident that
interrupts local petroleum and/or
electrical
supplies because of a terrorist
attack, geopolitical upheaval, or
natural
disaster.
SPETES is
unique in that it
provides
an integrated
transportation and energy delivery
system capable of functioning
without fossil
fuels or reliance upon the
electrical grid.
The
concept
is
based
upon
the
capture
of
solar
energy
with
a
photovoltaic
array. The
power is stored
on-site in an energy bank composed
of high performance battery
modules. The
freshly charged modules may
readily be
transferred to the electric
vehicles to replace spent battery
packs. In
addition to providing a wide
variety of
emergency transportation services,
the vehicles will be capable of
delivering a
mobile energy trailer of charged
modules to locations where
electricity
is
needed for vital medical and
communication services.
Solar Metro, a
newly formed
California
small business, has
assembled a talented team of
engineers, computer scientists,
and
advisors that
will participate in the SPETES
project. The
end
products
will
consist
of
prototypes
for
the
energy
bank
and
a
mobile
energy
delivery
system
that will be documented by a
printed
report of
findings, DVD and guide, website,
and a series of on-site lectures
and
workshops that will be made
available to emergency planners
and
managers.

Overview
The goal is to
build a new
business
that will produce and
market premium
quality bottled drinking
water derived from Monterey Bay. The
product water will be routinely
acquired offshore using one or
more
vessels
with reverse osmosis
microfiltration systems, then
transported to Moss
Landing
Harbor and off loaded to tank
trucks and conveyed less than a
1/4 mile
to a
bottling facility to be
constructed adjacent to the
harbor. The
resulting product, tentatively to
be
marketed as Photon Blue TM,
will appeal to health conscious
consumers who want bottled water
that is free of pharmaceuticals,
pesticides
and herbicides with a salt content
of nearly 0%.
Photon Blue TM is
used throughout
this
document as a
placeholder.
Several other names are
also being in considered.
It is
anticipated that there
will be
three phases to the
project. Phase
I consists of
researching and developing the
business plan and raising funds. Phase II
which will build and operate the
pilot plant.
Phase III will expand
production unit volume and
diversify the product line.
