OK - Regarding my post #126 above... 4AM Sat [7/30] I found time and cruised through this entire thread. Lots of good reasoning, plenty good suggestions. But O' My... what to do now??!!
Like it is:
Refill-Mobile-Energy Source = Any type of energy that can be separated and repeatedly placed into small containers to energize any form of work related equipment [motors/engines/heaters/lasers and the like] while a vehicle/machine/operation independently functions at standstill or while moving.
Example: For vehicles, equipment and operations - fuel tanks and batteries are both
refill mobile-energy containers.
Stationary-Energy Source = i.e., The entire "Power Grid"... which in reality includes... all forms of large scale energy manufacturing to use at standstill sites and also used to fill-up millions of
refill mobile-energy containers [e.g., mass wind power, ocean waves, nuclear/diesel/NG/waterflow electric generators, solar farms, and all liquid fuel manufacturers... etc].
Soooo - here we are... 8 +/- billion humans requiring multitudes of many energy forms to make "our" 21st Century lives function; in the way
we "deem" necessary. And... here are Earth's natural conditions that require the previously [before humanity got into the mix] well tuned aptitude of expression for ongoing four season life enchasing/supporting climate conditions. BTW, as a side note... Earth's current four season climate effect had "naturally" stabilized itself some 12,000 years ago. Before that Earth's climate was not as hospitable to life in general. And, because of that life enchasing environmental stabilization effect we humans were provided opportunity to get where we are today. That Is: In dire need to perform a civilization-wide readjust to meet/coincide with Earth's natural needs apparent.
FACT 1: Planet Earth's life-giving natural endeavors primarily work on a "Full-Cycle" basis.
FACT 2: Human endeavors primarily work on a use and discard "Non-Cycle" basis. [Consume: To do away with completely].
FACT 3: Humans have but a few years remaining to figure out how to get most if not all energy sources into a "Full-Cycle" basis that can coincide with Earth's very nature. Specifically for STOPPING global climate warming... and during the next portion of 20th Century even reducing the annual global climate temperature ever so slightly.
We can do this and we must do this... before all hell breaks loose once climate warming has increased to the level where [due to too much warming] Trade Winds, Jet Stream and Oceanic Currents alter their trajectories substantially enough so they become "confused" while all three "automatically" break out of their 12.000 year positions/patterns; and, then spend thousands of years to get back into some sort of annually regulated positions.
Absolute most predominant immediately required item to STOP global climate warming is to pull enough CO2 out of Atmosphere. My company, along with several associate organizations, are all working feverously to help accomplish this task.
During this endeavor and for many decades thereafter the [atmospherically retrieved] sequestered/stored CO2 will be utilized for production of a myriad of profit producing "green" products. Many of these products' contents will act a sort of CO2 sequestration vehicle.
In addition to that: There is a most wonderful Full-Cycle, Carbon Neutral liquid hydrocarbon fuel-source being developed for using the captured CO2 that will provide fungible, drop-in gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.
Full-Cycle is the name of Earth's Natural Game. For civilization to secure its future wellbeing of life on Earth... We must learn to play along with Earth's nature by making all we produce and use Full-Cycle!
