There are two and a half ways
to save the earth. Two of them are on the moon.

Saving the Earth by Colonizing the Moon
Our future and the earth itself are in danger from pollution, global
warming, climate change and a looming energy crisis. The energy crisis
will lead to a political crisis and continual energy wars. In addition we
are discovering very real mega dangers from asteroid strikes and super
volcanoes. Space technologies in general and colonizing the moon in
particular, as a first step into space, have the potential to mitigate or
eliminate these dangers and guarantee a human future. The objective of
this work is to connect the populations of those concerned with the earth
with the space scientists and visionaries who may have the means to deal
with these threats; ...and to bring this issue before the general public.
Fossil fuel power is destroying the
environment and threatening our ability to survive in a number of ways;
both directly in terms of earth-altering events and, also, secondarily, in
the conflicts engendered by the fact that this precious commodity, vital
to the economies of the Developed World, is, to a great part present as
finite, non-renewable resources in the Undeveloped World. Our past and
present conflicts, to a great extent, are over energy resources which are
directly related to personal and national wealth, health and well-being.
There are two and a half technologies
capable of providing abundant, clean, renewable energy and they are all
based in space, they are: Space Solar Power, Lunar Solar Power and Nuclear
Fusion powered by helium3 harvested from Lunar regolith; i.e. moondust.
The nuclear waste from the 3He-3He reaction is H2O, water. Helium3 can be
boiled off and transported to earth to fuel stage three helium fusion
reactors, such as the prototype now in operation at the Fusion Lab at the
University of Wisconsin. Almost at once, nuclear fusion solves the
problems of power, of nuclear proliferation and nuclear waste. Is this
possible? We've been to the moon...forty years ago with technology
comparable to that in a Dodge Dart! We can go back, now.
Nanotechnology makes it all possible today. |
