YEARS OF INACTION - Many wars have been waged over mineral rights and control of oil flow, used to power our
internal combustion
engine vehicles. Imagine a world where free energy form nature
powers our vehicles, and every country has their own electricity supply,
independent of fossil
fuel imports. Energy security is a big step towards world peace. By
way of example, SmartNet™
service stations might supply hydrogen for heavy goods vehicles, and electricity
to rapid charge conventional battery vehicles. They also act as grid
load-levelers for changeable wind and solar renewables. This kind of
technology could free us from carcinogens
in cities and reduces global
warming. If we are to supply trucks and cars with energy, we need
around 600,000 smart service stations globally before 2050, meaning mass
produced flatpacks
are necessary to reach such goal economically. At 2019 end, 470 hydrogen
stations were operating worldwide, 1/1200th of what is required.
If
the United
Nations
were to pool resources, to accelerate climate cooling technology, we may
stand a chance of meeting the 1.5 degree temperature rise threshold, and
even begin to get back to some kind of sustainable level. Life
on earth might be protected from climate warming induced extinctions.
Oceans might begin to de-acidify.

GLOBAL
WARMING IMPLICATIONS
Climate
change threatens to destabilize the economics of planet earth, such that
all the theoretical protections afforded by Copyright, Patents, and
Trademarks will come to naught. Food security and energy for our homes
and transport systems is far more important, where we have already annihilated
thousands of species, created deserts of arable land and are in the
process of melting our ice caps.
Where
plastic in our oceans is making toxin laden fish inedible, and with
agriculture
under pressure to feed a growing
population, it is likely that there
will be food shortages, leading to global conflict and potentially
cannibalism as a last resort. Humans represent one of the most
prolific protein sources on the planet, if looked at as livestock.
