Linking Renewable Energy Resources Around the World
World Wide Grid
GENI – Global Energy Network Institute
The Vision: A world in which all people have access to ecologically sustainable energy.
The Mission: To conduct research and to educate world leaders and the public about the critical viability of the interconnection of electric power networks between nations and continents, with an emphasis on tapping abundant renewable energy resources, called ‘the GENI Initiative.’ The GENI Initiative focuses on linking renewable energy resources around the world using international electricity transmission.
Their research shows that linking renewables between all nations will mollify conflicts, grow economies and increase the quality of life and health for all. This is a strategy rooted in the highest priority of the World Game simulation developed by the visionary engineer, Dr. Buckminster Fuller three decades ago. (Yes, the same guy that invented geodesic domes, Synergetics, and Design Science and in which Buckminsterfullerenes or “buckyballs” are named after.)
“Bucky” (as he preferred),developed the World Game simulation, posing the question:
How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?
Walter Cronkite said that this provocative inquiry had given him hope, a premier solution that offers the most thoughtful strategy towards peace and sustainable development and offers hope for all humanity.
Since a video is worth a thousand words:
The benefits of this sustainable development world power solution are proven:
* Decreased pollution from fossil and nuclear fuels
* Reduced hunger and poverty in developing nations
* Increased trade, cooperation and world peace
* Enables health care, communications and access to clean water
* Stabilized population growth
Sounds like GENI is working on a wonderful, ingenious idea and of course, when Walter Cronkite spoke …. everybody listened….
…. as the green future unfolds.
