A recent letter I sent to Al Gore: I would like to propose the biggest cleanup in history, cleaning up the atmosphere. I do not see any proposal, realistic or proven, at any cost, that can solve the problem of global warming. Not even Washington can throw enough money to solve climate change. I see governments acting like a deer in a car’s headlights and unfortunately, many people acting the same. Meanwhile, the inevitable disaster is almost upon us, if not here already. Beyond cleaning up our atmospheric mess as I am suggesting, we humans must do a better job reducing or cleaning up carbon monoxide, burning less of everything, collecting and storing methane and ethane to be used as fuel, cleaning up our forests, using more solar insolation and recycling everything. But even if every person on earth does his or her share, we may not be ok.
Making a plan that includes cleanup of the atmosphere and decisive change is the only option. The technology to start cleaning up and reintroducing new ozone to the atmosphere with little pollution is possible. The ten year cost of one hundred billion dollars, and the scope of this project takes a long term commitment. The first cleanup machine starts with a ten billion dollars investment. Ten year later with twenty-five machines operating, these machines will produce enough ozone to replace both holes at the poles. But more importantly, these machines will remove chemicals that deplete the ozone. Beyond making ozone, decreasing the poisons that deplete ozone, these machines reduce the major greenhouse gases, and that is just the start.
Using solar steam electric generators to produce electricity at near 90 percent efficiency will help reduce global warming. I can see over the next 30 years the world needing 60,000 MW costing one hundred billion dollars. This opens the door to new electric cars and busses and new bullet trains with dramatic reduction in greenhouse gases from cars and planes. With a plan, all governments can help: tax pollution, donate some land and money, and reduce solar steam electric generators regulation to help save the planet from disaster. From getting grants to patents and from land to changing regulations the plan is the start of changing our world. The message that we can help ourselves is a key to changing the global warming debate. We start helping ourselves by making the plan, getting everyone to agree and getting everyone to pay the real price. Creating a pollution surcharge on gas, coal, diesel, wood, cooling towers, cattle, other ranches, cigarettes, agriculture burning, airplane passengers; this surcharge can fund of these projects and many stationary pollution control devices in general.
