Earth as a planet means Earth treated as a single entity of production

defined by their ability to trick, cajole or force others to hand over
what they need at the expense of the rest.

It is clear that despite well defined limits and options we have not
made good decisions related to the development of energy resources on
this planet.

It is likely we have not made good decisions related to the
development of other primary resources as well.

So, its worth thinking of a goal and determining if this goal is at
all feasible!

It turns out that it may be!

8 billion millionaires is one place to start. *Its a well defined
target. *We find that to achieve this goal we need vastly more than is
currently being produced in terms of food, energy, wood, metals, and
so on.

When, we look at what the entire planet has to offer we find that we
have enough - surprisingly.

In the end, we look at the Earth as we might look at a space colony -
and we find that we have plenty of everything to go around - if we
trouble ourselves to invest in the most productive infrastructure
possible and apply it as broadly as possible leaving no one out.

When we do this we find that approximately 800,000 sq km of solar
collectors, 800,000 sq km of green houses in the desert, a few large
water works programs, and careful management of 800,000 sq km of Taiga
forest, combined with the development of a yet to be determined number
of deep sea trenches - connected together with space based
communications, space based navigation, space based sensing, and a
network of hydrogen filled hydrogen fueled UAV - creates a system that
achieves the initial target of 8 billion millionaires.

From the productivity of this asset we can see how our economy might
adopt it as a private public partnership - allocating what Ford calls
efficiency bonuses to workers, management, investors, government, and
buyers alike.

This is all well and good, except for the usual part where William
Mook does nothing.

Motivating poor folks to do whatever they can't possibly afford to
accomplish isn't exactly a working plan, and especially dysfunctional
if there's no actual leadership by anyone other than yourself. *Do you
even have a short list of who would be put in charge of what, and have
any of them been contacted by you?

The 10 million millionaires have $40 trillion. *With the collapse of
the US banking system and the imminent unraveling of the US monetary
system they're looking for a place to put their money. *A few billion
to build a 'production cell' that puts all the pieces together is the
first step. *Then, building a factory that makes factories to make the
things we need to live. *Like I said;

* Five Years to Engineer and Develop
* Five Years to build the supply chain
* Five Years to build the products

We start with 1 cell and grow it 100x over three years by building a
production cell per year - of each type needed to support the supply
chain.

They are looking for a relatively failsafe and untaxable place to put
their 40 trillion so that it turns into 80 trillion at the least
possible overhead, and Mook hydrogen balloon cells for accomplishing
global deforestation or those terrific satellite based energy notions
to go along with your terrestrial conversion of solar energy into dirt
cheap LH2 and LOx are probably not on any of their short lists,
perhaps because they is heavily invested in the existing hydrocarbon
and nuclear energy cartels as is.

However, if you can manage to brake any of those trillions lose for
whatever Mook contrived investments, I'm certainly not going to stand
in your way. I totally agree that we need to get our upper most
wealthy loot reinvested into advanced technology, various productions
of products, goods and especially energy that insures better long-term
growth that's affordably clean and isn't restricted by government or
faith-based policies that only get in the way and run up the cost of
just about everything. Any further delay is yet another cost that we
can not afford.
