Fifty years ago Buckminster Fuller's
proposed the global electric energy grid as the highest priority for our
planet. Now the Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) is being advocated by the
world's leading energy agencies and largest utility, the China State Grid
Corp. This white paper makes the case for 2 replacements:
- Clean
replacement in energy generation using renewable energies to replace fossil
fuels
- Electric
Energy replacement: Electric energy replaces oil as primary transportation
fuel
The simple
equation: GEI = Smart Grid + UHV Grid + Clean Energy
(UHV is Ultra High Voltage)
Three primary benefits are featured:
- Clean energy will
be 80% by 2050
[editor's note: see the 77 page detailed report for this replacement goal]
- Carbon emissions
controlled to limit temperature rise to 2oC
- Promote worldwide cooperation and curb international disputes
The GEI emphasizes using wind and solar in
optimal locations on each continent. It's known that these renewables offer
10,000x more potential than is required to meet our global energy demand.
The GEI covers every aspect of international
politics, economy, diplomacy, national defense and climate change. Bloomberg
New Energy Finance and Impact Alpha are projecting trillions invested in clean
and efficient energy. Every nation benefits from increased trade and
cooperation while decreasing pollution.
Our work has been embraced by the world's
leading energy agencies. You have made this possible. Now, plans must turn
into projects and investment, so keep pushing your officials.
