Here is the solution to climate change


Here is the solution to climate change

I have the solution to climate change but it will not be cheap or easy or any of the descriptors of the so-called solutions put on the table thus far. I promise this solution will work and provide energy needs for the planet for generations. Sounds big, this solution, but so does the problem of global warming. What the solution is: in a nutshell it’s an umbrella for the Arctic and Antarctic. These umbrellas will be composed of solar cells and the cells will transmit their energy to the ground via microwave.

It will work no matter if global warming is man-made or natural.

It sounds like an expensive system but the energy produced can be dived up by the idea of “what you put in is what you get back”.

A few caveats I’ve thought of:
We’re going to need allot of soar cells to make a difference. But this system doesn’t need to be built before the next presidential election in the U.S., It can built piecemeal.
Getting all those cells up there will tax the environment. Thus idea is dependent on getting the space elevator working. These hasn’t been enough work in the area but if we get the space elevator working and using power derived from space based solar cells it can run non-stop with using precious land-based energy sources.
The cells work as tiles put together orbiting the earth in a geostationary orbit. When it is no longer needed we can change the orbit and still transmit power back.

It’s win-win but allot of pieces need to get working.

The Apple TV looks like an interesting device. I would salivate having one but I own an Elgato eyeHome I had picked up on ebay ($80) for a lot less than the $250 US that the Apple TV is asking for. It has it’s shortcomings like the lack of WI-FI built in but a simple LAN cable resolved that issue and the pictures viewing on the eyeHome is lacking but good enough for my use.



Kill the RIAA!


I may have found a way around the RIAA. I made a radio station for me to listen to and I thought of sharing with all of you. I found the when I installed Apollo from Adobe which I trust not to screw up my computer, time will tell. I’m sure it’s only superficial but the RIAA is not getting more money from me, ever!
