Harry is the author of numerous technical papers, as well as The Phoenix Project: Shifting from Oil to Hydrogen, a 360-page book that provides a scientific overview of the origin of matter and life in the known universe, how the “big bang” created hydrogen atoms, which gravity condensed into the stars, which then emitted the electromagnetic spectra that served as the spark for the origin and evolution of life on the Earth.  The book also provides an overview of how the U.S. and other countries can rapidly shift from non-renewable fossil and nuclear fuels to renewable solar hydrogen production systems, which will resolve many of the most serious economic and environmental problems.  The book reviews both the positive and negative aspects of exponential growth, which explains why humanity is on the threshold of both a nanotechnology utopia and an ecological oblivion.  It is why we on Spaceship Earth are all like passengers aboard the Titanic, and there is only a limited amount of time left to “change course.”  Although hydrogen is often mentioned as the “Holy Grail” of all energy sources, Harry Braun is the only technical analyst who has provided a specific plan for how this “transition of substance” can happen by 2020 by mass-producing wind and other solar powered hydrogen production systems, and modifying every existing vehicle, appliance and power plant to use hydrogen fuel. 

Harry is also Chairman of Sustainable Partners LLC (SustainablePartners.com), a systems integration firm that is involved in a number of renewable energy development projects, including a $180 million wind farm project in New Mexico.  Harry is also Chairman of the Phoenix Project Political Action Committee (PhoenixProjectPac.US), which is focused on the political aspects of helping to organize Hydrogen Hearings in the U.S. Congress, which will be a prerequisite for the passage of Fair Accounting Act and Photobiology legislation that Harry has proposed in his book.  The Fair Accounting Act legislation is the “trigger mechanism” for shifting to the solar hydrogen economy because it will provide the financial incentives for oil and other energy companies to rapidly become solar hydrogen companies, with an energy resource that will provide a renewable rate of return because it is both pollution-free and inexhaustible.  The Photobiology legislation is intended to establish specific guidelines for the lighting industry with respect manufacturing general purposing lighting that will simulate the spectral wavelengths of the natural electromagnetic radiation that is found in sunlight.    

Harry received a Bachelors degree from Arizona State University in 1971.  His undergraduate work was in history and general science, while his graduate work focused on evolutionary biology and anthropology.  His post graduate research has been in the areas of energy technologies and resources, photobiology, molecular biology and protein evolution.  Harry has been an Advisory Board Member of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy (iahe.org) since 1981.  This international peer-review professional society, which is comparable to the American Medical Association, is composed of hundreds Ph.D.-level scientists, chemists and engineers from over 85 countries.  Harry ran for Congress in 1984 against John McCain, and was an independent presidential candidate in 2004 (please refer to the BraunforPresident.US website to review his campaign platform).
