    The retreat from fossil fuels is underway. In 2019, U.S. coal-fired power plants shut down at the second-fastest pace on record, retiring or converting roughly 15,100 megawatts (MW) of coal-fired electricity generation. The challenge is finding viable alternatives. Most “green-energy” solutions are impractical, expensive, not sustainable or recyclable. We solve this problem with a zero emission power platform that provides distributed power, on-demand, in any configuration. The safe, compact footprint is scalable and dispatchable (grid tie or island mode). Our patented and proprietary Magnetic Resonance Generator’s 98% efficiency is unmatched – producing no heat, emissions, mechanical or transmission waste. It requires no fuel tank and has no tail-pipe. Learn more at www.BlueFluxPower.com.GGP Group of Companies dba BlueFlux Power

    Deposit Waiver Solutions, Inc Jan 2010 - Oct 2014
    Deposits are the utility's traditional security against customer non-payment, an essential part of the company's risk management. This protection comes at a great price: increase processing costs and decreased customer satisfaction. Until now, utility deposits were a necessary evil. Fortunately, they are no longer necessary.The Deposit Alternative Program is a 3-way contract between DWS, our Plan Administrator (Allied Solutions) and the utility. The program protects the utility from losses due to customer payment defaults, and provides an option to the traditional security deposit through a financial guarantee to the utility.The utility offers customers a choice of a small non-refundable waiver at account sign up. The program guarantees the utility against losses up to the amount of the original deposit requirement that they would have otherwise collected. The utility gains the same financial security without the many negatives attendant with explaining, collecting, managing, and returning the deposit.Simplify your deposit management - learn more at www.depositwaiversolutions.com.
