Back To The Future
Wind-Solar-Water-Fire
I am Stephen Sednek, landowner and steward of the Dream Lake Foundation, which is a 32-acre piece of land with a 5-acre lake situated in the center of a 300-acre wooded area atop a 9,300’ mountain. We are centered in between Deer Creek Valley and Elk Creek Valley, overlooking Mt. Rosalie, Mt. Logan and Mt. Evans. Above the treetops, one can see Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. Dream Lake is located 60-miles SW of Denver off of US Highway 285, and 7-miles W on Park County Road (43) to Shelton Drive. From Shelton we are ½ mile up to P78 to the top of the mountain.

My project Begins on my land with a vertical windmill, and a 40’ tall windmill with a 30’ base. At the top will be a glass-enclosed viewing platform. The tower will be a ham radio station to assist Fire & Rescue, a laptop computer and a fire surveillance station. The energy produced will be routed underground to power the first underground electrical power plant utilizing 100% green energy. The lines will be subterranean, past and around the lake and down Private Road 78 extending ½ mile. Water from the lake will be piped down to the bottom of P.R.78 and Shelton into a 10,000-gallon tank beneath the side of the road for fire hydrant usage, county and road use as well as the possible sale of spring water.

Water will be piped back up to the lake to create a battery system necessary for the project, and to prevent our water from stagnating. A Biomass machine would help clean our forest of the dead wood and slash on the 300-acres woodlands and National Forest land. The Biomass machine and solar panels will be used to heat the large guesthouse on my property, which is constructed out of Beetle Kill Pine. The electricity would extend ½ mile along Shelton Drive to Park County Road (43) to US Highway 285.
Underground cables and a tunnel will be installed to replace lines if needed, before US Highway 285 is expanded to 4-lanes and is resurfaced, along the 285 corridor which includes Pine Junction, Crow Hill, Bailey, Shawnee, Grant, over Kenosha Pass to Jefferson, Como, Fairplay, Alma, Lake George and Harstel. All tunnels would have access beneath the highway for the electrical wiring, security breaking and transformer station’s subterranean rooms. On the Light Rail System along US Highway 285, as we build on green energy from Pine Junction to Fairplay, a Homeland Security project will exist with a 24-hour ranger for fire, security, ham radio communication with computer and cell phone usage.

Individual town with Biomass machines would be financed by each subdivision and would assist in the removal of slash and undergrowth. Fire stations along US Highway 285 as well as towns connected to the same grid would be included. This will help burn excess fuel in the National and State Forests, which is on approximately 75% of the county. All schools, fire stations and county, state and federal buildings would receive free electrical power from the green grid power plant, which will help Park County maintain clean, groomed forest land. All 50 states could participate with each state given land to groom and add recreation space. Each state will have a delegate office on their land. Park County would be the master park with recreacreation for the entire family financed with lottery funds from across the nation.
A stadium would be constructed by NREL for members of all 50 states to be trained on the wind, solar, fire & water machines to introduce this new technology and to show how it will alleviate the need for fossil fuel. We the People of Park County and the rest of the nation “Take us back to the Future” with clean, renewable energy.
Dream Lake went into draught in the past 7-years. While cleaning it out artifacts were found: spearheads, arrowheads, pottery, and semi-precious stones and minerals. Emeralds were among the discoveries, which are very rare in Colorado. The Denver History Museum has identified one of the arrowheads to be approximately 7,000-years old. There were others estimated to be from 5 to 6-thousand years old as well.
The lake is fed from an underground spring. Cleaning it out to the springheads as it was 10,000-years ago would make it considerably deeper, thus holding more water. The Park County Historical Society would get all the artifacts, as the top of this mountain was an Indian encampment and has the wisdom of Colorado history in the lakebed. The soil taken from the lakebed will be used for an organic greenhouse, and colleges will be invited to come and study the mineral content and nutrition of the vegetables. The lake will also be stocked with native Cutthroat trout, funded by The Division of Wildlife. This is the only natural spring fed lake at 9,300 feet in altitude in this area within thousands of acres of Forest Service and privately owned land.
A smaller windmill will be used as a means of pumping water from a spring to a creek to feed the main lake and aerate it, which will assist in the breeding and maintaining of fish. Three 50-foot poles with attached sprinklers will be able to aerate the lake and be used for fire protection for the land and the buildings on the property.
This is the idyllic place for securing wildlife and spring water, making it a protected, private reserve land.
“We are grateful for the awakening within all humanity that is bringing the return of stewardship of this sacred planet. We are thankful that humankind is remembering the Oneness with Mother Earth and the profound responsibility that The Truth holds for us all. May we each do our part.
WE ARE THE POWER. Just as Martin Luther King had a dream, so the true heart of ALL citizens of this earth holds a dream for the freedom, well-being, equality, and fulfillment of all our common good.” A.H.

Quote of the Moment
"There is no word for 'nature' in my language. Nature, in English, seems to refer to that which is separate from human beings. It is a distinction we don't recognize." - Audrey Shenandoah, Clan Mother of the Onandaga Nation, 1990
