Global Warming
I believe:
1) Global warming is real, man-made, and caused by the burning of fossil fuels;
2) Will cause irreversable and catastrophic damages to our planet;
3) and can be stopped and reversed. Here's how:
Energy Conservation
We can reduce our energy use by 40% through simple conservation with no loss of "Quality of Life". Simply. Here're some ideas.
Energy Production
We can generate our energy cheaper than fossil fuels - with no CO2 emmisions. Cleanly! With HeliWinds, HeliTubes, Concentrating Solar Collectors and Biofuels. Here're four proposed energy systems that can do it. Now!
Energy Storage
We'll convert to a Hydrogen-Oxygen based society. H2-O2 can burn in most combustion systems (IC's, turbines, etc.) with few modifications. Discharge is 100% water...nothing else. We'll replace our cars fuel tanks, oil storage farms and coal piles with H2-O2 storage systems.
Energy Distribution
We'll send the energy to the end use through an enhanced electrcal grid (with Al Gore's and T. Boone Pickens help), produce H2-O2 by electrolysis where needed, and store it until the end user needs it.
What will it take? PEOPLE, talented people, millions of them. And MONEY. Tons of money. Let's say $ 10,000,000,000,000!
