1.4 <strong>Basic</strong> Needs <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Survival of Mankind<br />
The most basic need <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> very survival of our contemporary societies in<br />
view of <strong>the</strong> disproportionate use of fossil <strong>fuels</strong> and <strong>the</strong> increasingly cataclysmic<br />
climactic events caused by <strong>the</strong> pollutants in <strong>the</strong>ir combustion exhaust can be<br />
summarized as follows:<br />
(1) Develop “<strong>new</strong>” processes <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> nonpolluting, large scale production<br />
of electricity, that is, processes beyond <strong>the</strong> now exhausted predictive<br />
capacities of conventional doctrines. Whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong> electrolysis or o<strong>the</strong>r uses, electricity<br />
is and will remain <strong>the</strong> basic source of energy <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis of <strong>new</strong> <strong>fuels</strong>.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> same time, hydro, <strong>the</strong>rmal and wind sources of energy, even though very<br />
valuable, are dramatically insufficient to fulfill <strong>the</strong> present, let alone <strong>the</strong> future<br />
needs of clean energy. Nuclear power plants have been severely damaged by governmental<br />
obstructions, both in <strong>the</strong> U.S.A., Europe and o<strong>the</strong>r countries, against<br />
<strong>new</strong> processes <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> stimulated decay of radioactive nuclear waste by <strong>the</strong> power<br />
plants <strong>the</strong>mselves, in favor of a politically motivated storage of <strong>the</strong> radioactive<br />
waste in depositories so much opposed by local societies, thus preventing nuclear<br />
power to be a viable alternative. 7 Additionally, both <strong>the</strong> “hot fusion’ and <strong>the</strong><br />
“cold fusion” have failed to achieve industrially viable results to date, and none is<br />
in sight at this writing. The need <strong>for</strong> basically “<strong>new</strong>” clean sources of electricity is<br />
<strong>the</strong>n beyond scientific doubt. This need is addressed in Chapter 11 [26] because,<br />
as we shall see, <strong>the</strong> content of this book is a necessary pre-requisite.<br />
(2) Build a large number of large reactors <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> large scale removal<br />
and recycling of <strong>the</strong> excess CO 2 in our atmosphere. The containment of<br />
future production of CO 2 is basically insufficient because <strong>the</strong> existing amount in<br />
our atmosphere is sufficient to cause increasingly cataclysmic climactic events.<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e, ano<strong>the</strong>r major problem facing mankind is <strong>the</strong> removal of <strong>the</strong> CO 2<br />
already existing in our atmosphere. This problem is addressed in <strong>the</strong> next subsection.<br />
(3) Develop “<strong>new</strong>” <strong>fuels</strong> that are not derivable from crude oil and are<br />
capable of achieving full combustion, that is, <strong>fuels</strong> structurally different than<br />
all known <strong>fuels</strong> due to <strong>the</strong>ir highly polluting character. The production of <strong>new</strong><br />
<strong>fuels</strong> not derivable from crude oil is necessary in view of <strong>the</strong> exploding demand <strong>for</strong><br />
fossil <strong>fuels</strong> expected from <strong>the</strong> construction in China of 500, 000, 000 <strong>new</strong> cars and<br />
