The fact is, if we save the 90% of human energy that is wasted, we also eliminate the threat of global climate change.
Einstein stated that we can never solve problems with the same type of thinking that created the problem.
In this essay, I am demonstrating a bold and innovative new way of thinking and acting.
The only energy shortage has been the shortage of intelligence and action applied to the problem.
The most important energy is human creativity and human love and kindness. When those two are combined, human evolution can proceeed with a quantum leap.
We will need to phase in a diverse array of renewable energy as fossil fuels run out. There are plenty of alternatives to choose from: solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, biofuel, geothermal, tides, photovoltaic, hydrogen, etc. We get the most "bang for the buck" by eliminating the 90% waste of energy in our present operating systems. I am working to build Sustainable Operating Systems. I invite you to join this team.
We can have plenty of energy if we want it. There is no energy shortage! We live in a universe that is nothing but energy. There is just a shortage of awareness of what is now possible to our beautiful human species. The crisis is a crisis of ignorance and inaction!
We presently produce more than enough food for everyone, but much of it decays from mishandling and is simply wasted because we do not store, preserve, and transport and distribute it intelligently. By increasing our systems efficiency from the present rate of 4% to the readily attainable level of 12% systems efficiency, we can produce 3 times the amount of food. Our only real starvation is that we are starving for real leadership to activate this urgent process. I stand forward. I am ready to lead this revolution in awareness.
As we solve our food and energy problems, we must also create novel systems to provide safe, inexpensive housing for everyone. We can shelter people in mass-produced, self-contained, surplus-energy-producing, homes which can be delivered anywhere for a tenth the cost of conventional houses. Visionary engineer Buckminster Fuller created geodesic systems for such low cost housing decades ago, but our present corporate builders have been more interested in building a sick system of grossly inefficient $500,000 Mc Mansions! That obsolete system is now collapsing in every city in America. It is time for the re-builders to stand forward.
This is the age of entrepreneurship. Write your own business plan to meet these needs and get to to work. It is up to you to produce enough energy, food, shelter, goods and services to meet all human needs.
It is time to simply declare our present "leaders" as irrelevant and get busy.
Whose permission are you waiting for? Get off your ass and get into action. We have a world to save and the clock is ticking away. Either start a creative enterprise, or join into a creative enterprise, but get off of the dead end corporate train today. The global corporatacracy is now a dismal trainwreck.
The dictionary definition of fascism is "the merger of state and corporate interests". Unchain yourself and declare your personal emancipation today. You are a free and sovereign person. Remember that fact.
Visionary engineer Buckminster Fuller demonstrated that the geodesic sphere is the lightest, strongest, and cheapest way of enclosing space ever invented in human history. Domes can house individual families. They will also cover whole cities. Fuller postulated that domed cities would use about 1/90th the energy of uncovered cities, and have perfect climates all year round, no matter what the geographical climate. The future is here now. Seize this moment.
So how do you want to get around in our beautiful new world?
As noted above, we can eliminate 50% of all vehicle use by living in efficient communities.
