Question
What do you predict will happen to our planet if we do
not complete the global electricity grid?
Key Words
predictions, planet, global electricity grid, environmental
trends, societal trends, deforestation, air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, overpopulation,
infant mortality, illiteracy, minimum energy use 2000 kWh per person per year, destructive trends
Answer
If the world remains as it is — i.e. doing
business as usual — many destructive environmental
and societal trends will continue and worsen the
quality of life for everyone.
The most important negative trends include: deforestation,
desertification, climate change, pollution (air,
water, and land), and overpopulation. As well, high
infant mortality and illiteracy rates would persist
in regions unserved by any electrical services.
GENI looks to achieve a minimum energy use of 2000
kWh per person per year. Research show that this
threshold will ameliorate the vicious cycle of these
trends.
