Purpose:
It's hard to believe but our sun provides us with enough fusion-based
radiant energy to support at least 3 times the present earth
population in the best lifestyle. This energy can be tapped
in a variety of ways and affecting our environment to varying
degrees. Being familiarized with the possibilities that exist
will allow us to have intelligent dialogs and make informed
decisions, hopefully benefiting present and future generations.
Procedure:
Use the links below as a starting point in your alternate energy
research. Choose your favorite alternate energy method and gather
sufficient information and graphics to prepare a presentation
that promotes this to the public. The presentation
can be a website, powerpoint,
Klik & Play or poster. Feel free to go offroad and investigate
OTEC, fusion, fuel cell, zero point, etc.
