What is Power Currency?

An energy-backed monetary system replacing Federal Reserve debt with real infrastructure: solar, wind, batteries, high-speed rail, and universal energy allocation.

  • Replace Federal Reserve with US Treasury-issued energy-backed currency
  • Build 20,000-mile high-speed TrainGrid (coast to coast)
  • Deploy 950 GW renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal)
  • Every US citizen receives energy allocation (600 kWh/month)
  • Save $840B in interest over 20 years (Treasury 1% vs Fed 5%)
Constitutional Authority

"The Congress shall have Power... To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof..."

Article I, Section 8, US Constitution
Thomas Jefferson

"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."

How to Use This Library

8-step process to design your own Power Currency deployment

Step 1: Define Scope & Context

Identify stakeholders, primary goals, scale, geographic constraints, and budget. Answer: Who is this for? What's the goal? What's the scale?

Step 2: Select Architectural Layers

Choose which of the 7 universal layers are essential for your pattern. All patterns need layers 1-3, 7. Layers 4-6 are optional based on use case.

Step 3: Choose Components from Catalog

Use the Component Library to select solar, batteries, inverters, compute racks, network equipment. Specify quantities and costs.

Step 4: Apply Design Patterns

Implement proven strategies: energy arbitrage, peak shaving, load shedding, P2P trading. Select patterns that fit your goals.

Step 5: Calculate Economics

Model CAPEX, OPEX, savings, revenue, and payback. Use spreadsheets to project 10-20 year economics. Be conservative.

Step 6: Plan Deployment

Create phased roadmap with milestones. Typical phases: Planning → Pilot → Scale → Optimize. Timeline: 1-3 years for local, 10-30 years for national.

Step 7: Identify Risks & Mitigation

Assess technical, financial, regulatory, and market risks. Use proven mitigation strategies from existing patterns.

Step 8: Document Pattern

Create comprehensive specification with: overview, stakeholders, components, data flows, economics, deployment, risks, success metrics.
