AS IS SHOWN BELOW, NONE OF THE PROPOSED METHODS FOR REDUCING GLOBAL WARMING HAS RESULTED IN ANY REDUCTION IN THE DISASTROUS 415 PPM. CO2 ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION.? THE FOLLOWING IS MY NO-TAX PROPOSED SOLUTION TO GLOBAL WARMING.? THIS NEEDS TO BE CIRCULATED NATIONWIDE AND MADE VIRAL.?

?

IN UP TO 2 YEARS THE HORRIBLE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WILL BE GONE.? HOWEVER, A MUCH MORE SERIOUS WORLD DISASTER WILL BE UPON THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR 50 YEARS AND BEYOND UNLESS WE REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE.? PRESENTED FOLLOWING IS MY SOLUTION TO THIS CLIMATE DISASTER WITH NO INCREASE IN US TAXES OR CHANGES IN WORLD LIFESTYLES.? ANYTHING YOU CAN DUE TO DISTRIBUTE THIS APPROACH TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND MAKE IT VIRAL WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY ME AND THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!?

A “FREE LUNCH” SOLUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND A“MAJOR ISSUE” FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2020

GERALD FALBEL? CEO, OPTICAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES.? 203-357-0626

This year is the 51th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon.? It is appropriate to use the moon to provide an affordable solution to Climate Change

Recent weather occurrences such as hurricanes, floods, and firestorms, a major snowfall in Colorado, and the seven hottest world-wide temperatures in history have signaled that the world must do something about Climate Change to prevent major weather and Seal Level Rise Catastrophes in the next 25 years.? Because of Deafening Silence in the Media, nothing significant will be done because of fossil fuel manufacturers' lobbying and the fact that any serious efforts at reducing climate change cost large amounts of money (i.e. taxes) and require the co-operation of developing countries like China and India.? Presented below in my website:

? ? is my proposal for a "free lunch" solution to Climate Change, achievable without any increase in US taxes or changes in lifestyles.

We can use the Saudi Arabian Model, where its citizens and workers are subsidized generously by the profitable energy receipts of the Saudi government.

The US can achieve this model without increasing taxes or increasing the National Debt, by implementing a proposal I have made to US Movers and Shakers and the Media for over 36 years, without receiving any cogent response or rebuttal.

My proposal would build a solar power station? shown in Figure 1 below on the Lunar Equator, in which concentrated solar thermal energy obtained from parabolic concentrators fabricated from lunar materials is converted to electricity by Stirling Cycle generators, invented and developed in the 19th century and operating in current solar systems in California.? This project would beam 21 trillion kilowatt hours/year of totally clean electric energy to the entire earth 24/7 including CHINA AND INDIA anda, using the proven technology of microwave power beaming, which passes through cloud cover.? This energy would represent only 10% of the yearly world fossil energy use in 2020, but would reduce CO2 atmospheric pollution from its current disastrous 400 ppm to a Climate-Sustainable value of 350 ppm. At the current average electricity rate of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, the US Treasury would receive $2.5 trillion per year forever, which would eliminate budget deficits, while funding an infrastructure program on steroids, and/or retiring the National Debt, which, I submit, even Alt-Right Republicans could support.

This project would be paid for by diverting a portion of the $100 billion/year funds allocated by the Paris Environmental Conference, to this project (recently withdrawn from by President Trump).? This can be combined with a re-directed portion of the allocated funds from the US Defense Procurement Budget to the same companies and workers receiving them now.? Some of these funds are for “make work” weapon systems such as the F-35, Atomic Warhead Upgrading, and National Missile Defense, which are useless in wars against Jihadism.??

All that is required is political courage in Washington.

TABLE I

PROPOSED EARTH BASED MEANS OF REDUCING GLOBAL WARMING

FOSSIL FUELS INSERT 280 x 1012 KILOWATT-HOURS OF GREENHOUSE GAS ENERGY INTO THE EARTH ATMOSPHERE PER YEAR.? THIS HAS RAISED THE CO2 ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION TO > 416 ppm, WHICH HAS CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING BY THE “GREENHOUSE” EFFECT. TO REDUCE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 TO A CLIMATE-STABLE LEVEL OF 350ppm THE FOSSIL FUEL POLLUTION MUST BE REDUCED TO <350 ppm. BY A 10% ATMOSPHERIC CO2 ?REDUCTION.

?RENEWABLE ENERGY MEANS FOR ATMOSPHERIC CO2? REDUCTION

• GEO THERMAL (VOLCANIC THERMAL ENERGY):? At other places than Yellowstone Park and Iceland, this would require drilling five miles into the earth

• “PV SOLAR PANELS”? :? Average weekly solar insolation in hours over the US is less than 4 hours/sunny day, requiring fossil fueled plants to remain on standby, operating inefficiently.? Data from 2016 is 2.60 x 1010 kwatt-hours/year for the entire world.? This amounts to only 2.60 x 1011/280 x 1012 = 0.93%

• WIND TURBINES:? 2018 wind turbine energy generation was 600 x 106 kilowatts. Assuming acceptable winds 80%/24 hours, yearly wind turbine output should be: ? ? ? ? 600 x 106 x0.8x8700 hours/year = 4.2 x 1012/280x1012 =? 1.5%.? As ?can be seen in the fight over Cape Cod windmills by very liberal politicians, there is a large NIMBY factor on these machines, combined with the fact that the wind is not continuous enough over 24/7 in most regions.

• NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS: Presently generating 20% of electricity in the US, not including energy used by vehicles.? Future nuclear power is in major jeopardy based upon the Fukushima disaster

• CAP AND TRADE SYSTEMS:? These tax processes, only reduce the fossil fuel emissions by a factor less than 30%, which will be rapidly used up by emissions of India and China?

• HYDROGEN FUSION:? This process has been scientifically investigated for over 50 years, and a “scientific breakthrough” where more energy is generated by the fusion process than is put in to produce fusion is always “five years away”.? It is not clear whether this process will ever become economically feasible.

• BIOFUELS:? .? This is not a solution, since the land used to grow corn for ethanol eliminates cultivation for food and/or as in Brazil, it cuts down rain-forests thus removing CO22? absorbing vegetation.? Also, it requires fossil fuel energy to convert vegetation to fuel.

• SUMMARY:? None of the above proposed means come close to achieving the required 10% atmospheric CO2 reduction.

I WILL BE PLEASED TO MAKE PRESENTATIONS OF THIS PROPOSAL IN CONNECTICUT AND NEW YORK AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
