A Plan for Rescuing Earth from Overheating ... Population on Earth will exceed 10 billion people by the end of the 21th century. Food, electricity, and engine fuels are the irreplaceable energies, which keep people alive and which power world economies. During the last 350 years, humans have burned huge amounts of fossil fuels. This fossil energy was used to make fertilizers, heat water for steam engines, and run combustion engines. Automobiles, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes cannot function without consuming energy. Most scientists agree that the century long accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has deleterious effects. Ongoing rises of electricity and of fuel prices at gas stations tell us that fuels are harder to discover, are getting scarce, and are becoming more costly. These deleterious developments demand fast, precautionary actions. Only new energy technologies can preserve Earth for our kids. Most of the great inventions of energy technologies were introduced only one hundred years ago. Only by switching our present energy sources can we prevent the accelerating deterioration of environments. Energy researchers and engineers are facing huge and urgent challenges. How can we replace petroleum with a substitute? How can we assure affordable food supplies in the future? How can we generate enough electricity without using coal or nuclear fuels? How can we stop the melting of ice and the inundation of coastal cities? How can we stop global warming and overheating of Planet Earth? How can we pay for developments of better energy technologies? How much time is left for restoring the climates of the 1960s? Where are the solutions? Hundreds of books have been written about energy. Thousands of scientists write articles about the sad state of planet Earth. Armies of bureaucrats talk about global warming and travel to the world's nicest conference centers. Proposals for effective solutions for the many environmental problems, which will affect o
