Imagine most of the human population living on seasteads near the equator, using Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Salt Water Air Conditioning (SWAC), aquaculture and hydroponics for food, desalinated water to drink, hydrogen and methane for fuel. All these things can be available in abundance in this hurricane free zone around the world. Most natural disasters won’t be an issue, and storms will be limited in strength by the rotation of the earth. People could freely move their homes, businesses, and communities around as desired, redefining governance and borders. All the minerals from land exist in the ocean, and can be mined through OTEC. Creating opportunities for marine life to thrive will reduce co2 in the atmosphere, and generally clean up existing pollutants in air and water. Reducing dependence on land for food and housing allows nature to thrive, further benefiting the earth. Eventually, living on seasteads on the ocean will create so much abundance it will be nearly free to live there, especially as land creation and food collection become automated. Even outer space opens up, with floating spaceports, space cannons, and eventually space elevators. High speed transportation on earth can go full circle around the equator with clean energy. This might seem pretty utopian and futuristic, but the potential exists, and it isn’t far away. Simply creating a better life with more opportunity on seasteads than on land will cause people to come there, and so create a better world. Arktide is focused on research and development of ocean based technologies: Energy generation from wave, tides, currents, and thermocline Aquaculture, with a focus on polyculture to mimic wild ocean habitats Sargassum collection to protect beaches Restoration of existing sea life, including coral reefs and wild fish populations Clean water through energy efficient desalination

For more than 15 years, Skipper has facilitated successful solution sales in the information technology industry as well as healthcare and telecommunications. One of his strengths has been in being proactive with competitive strategies that earn customer and partner loyalty. He’s enthusiastic about bringing this energy to Janssen, Siracusa & Keegan PLLC where he will focus on customers who are fighting big insurance companies in order to find solutions for undervalued claims. Skipper was raised in Bay County, but has been away for several years working within the Research Triangle of North Carolina. As a Leadership Bay graduate, he is excited to be back in the city he calls “home.” He graduated from FSU in 1993 with a degree in Social Sciences, which makes him an ideal choice when you’re looking for a person who loves helping people. One former client said this of Turk: “Skipper has always impressed me with his ability to bring knowledge to the table on any project I put in front of him. In fact, we often held off on project planning until we ‘Met with Skipper’ to see who else was doing the project; what was working and what wasn’t; and who and what he had in his ‘tool box’ that could help us.” Skipper doesn’t believe in finding just one solution, but rather looks at problems from all angles to present various options for consideration. For him, customers come first, because ethics is not something you can sell, but rather is what he can do for you – the customer – with integrity. Show less
