2. Risk Mitigation Concerns
Risk Disclosure Statement
(40 pages)
What could
possibly go wrong with new, untested technology, you ask? Plenty, and our risk disclosure statement talks about this.
Everything from the risks of untested technologies to what might happen if
the earth experienced a magnetic pole shift or reversal, or if somebody
sues the cell phone industry because they think cell phones kill honey bees! More than 150
paragraphs of things that could go wrong are described. We even disclose
our mistakes that we've made along the way since we started SWANsat in
1996!
If you're thinking about becoming formally involved
on some level with SWANsat, including provision of funds to SWANsat via
loan, investment, or even via gifts through our non-profit structure, you must download and
print this document.
Then fill out all blank spaces, initial each
page, and sign it. Then fax the signature page
ONLY
to us at +1.208.567.3898.
After you've
faxed us the signature page, please then snail mail a signed copy of all
40 pages (making sure you've signed your initials in the space at the
bottom right hand side of each page and making sure that you've placed
your wet signature on the signature page) to this address:

NAS
Report
on Solar
Severe Storm Warning (14 Megs)
In early
January 2009, NASA and the National Academy of Sciences released a
145-page document entitled Severe Space Weather Events—Understanding
Societal and Economic Impacts: a Workshop Report.
World Net Daily's report of the publication of the joint NASA-NAS study
followed a 28 July 2008 article in Scientific American that echoed the
same concerns.

The
BioInitiative Report
David
Carpenter and Cindy Sage served as editors of the BioInitiative Report:
A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for
Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF). Published in late August 2007,
this 600+ page report calls for limits on artificially generated
electromagnetic fields. If the suggestions contained in this report were
to be adopted on a global basis, the SWANsat System might be curtailed
with respect to its capabilities enough to make operation of the
constellation impossible or impractical.
