Section 5:
The World After Fossil Fuels.

The world after fossil fuels   10% of all Global Warming.
 
    15  Nuclear Desalination                Desalination.  There are over 1,500 oil fired desalination plants in the Mideast that could be nuclear.
          
    16  Nuclear Civilian Ships              Powering ocean-going ships with nuclear could eliminate 4% of ALL Global Warming CO2, Airplanes, 2%.

    17  Energy = Prosperity                Energy correlates with prosperity, prosperity correlates with fewer children.  Women and children are not farm appliances.
          
    18  CO2-Free Nuclear Concrete      Concrete production produces 3.5% of all Global Warming CO2.
 

    19  Biogenic, Biomass Fuels          Wood, Cow, Buffalo, and Camel dung.  Fuels 1/3 of the world cooks on.

    20  Geoengineering                        Oops, the cat's out of the bag.  Man now KNOWS he can alter the world.  Thinking the unthinkable - ways to alter Planet Earth.

    20.1  Georemediation                     Sucking CO
2 out of the air to reduce Global Warming.

    21  Geoadaptation                          Hey! Isn't it supposed to be survival of the fittest?

    22  Financial Issues                       No one wants to pay one penny to end Global Warming but we'll gladly kill our children for oil.
          
   
23  Have United Nations Do It         Global Warming demands action at the global level.  First, Second, Third  World Considerations.
        
    24  Project Management                
Creating a UN Corps of Engineers to execute concurrent repowering construction projects in 67 different countries.

    25  Finish Line                              
Reconnecting the dots.  THE END OF GLOBAL WARMING.  The world's post-fossil fuel energies.

 

Moving beyond the details of making fossil fuels obsolete.

 

You can see for yourself how Bonneville Power's wind power is doing in the Pacific Northwest at this moment.  Its the lower blue line.
This is also an excellent place to get a good "gut feel" about what "Baseload" electricity generation means.  Its the area below the lowest red line.
NOTE: They just added Hydro and Thermal.  Current display is counter-intuitive.  Things may be sorted out in a few days. (June 29, 2010)
