A fix for Global Warming
I read an article over at Wired today, This Global Warming Fix Stinks. Not a terrible idea to try to create the same events as the last volcanic eruption with caused the temperature to drop a degree but I think there are too many questions to make it sure fire. How abut my idea that stays with me.
My idea is similar but I don’t think that sending pollution up there is the answer. I think putting up gigantic solar cells around the poles would chill things down and freeze the oceans up there. We could work out a way to transmit the energy collected by microwave and on the ground convert those same microwaves into electricity. Still a lot of work to get those panels up there but the beauty of this plan is that we don’t have to do it all at once, we can send more panel as they become available.
We still have work to do for conversion of light into economical electricity but the payoff would be huge. The mideast will cease to be a cruel energy overlord (might as well lump many US energy companies such as Exxon). The price of energy would be a fraction of what it is today. The only way this would word to do the impossible and that is the nations of the world to cooperate.
