United States Clean Energy Plan
The
United States Clean Energy Plan (2010 - 2050) enables America to achieve
Clean Energy and Energy Independence by building
Clean Power Plants and
reducing carbon dioxide emissions Rather
than burning coal, oil, biomass and natural gas and destroying our
environment, the carbon sources are used for making consumer and
industrial products.
As
United States population grows from 317 million to 400 million people,
America�s energy efficiency increases from 42% to 70%. Thorium,
Uranium and Mirror Power Plants supply the country with clean, efficient
energy. Cars, trucks, buses, trains, ships, airplanes for transportation
operate more efficiently using clean energy. To help understand how
energy is produced and used, the metric system of kilowatt-hours is used
rather than British Thermal Units.
The
graph illustrates the differences. United States Energy Consumption
(blue) grows during the transition from carbon to clean energy, levels
off, and decreases to 24 Trillion Kilowatt-hours. Using carbon energy,
U.S. Energy Information Administration projects
United States Energy Consumption (pink) would grow to 33 Trillion
kilowatt hours or a difference of 9 Trillion kilowatt hours. At 10 cents
per kilowatt-hour, the energy savings is $900 billion per year.

The
next graph shows a dramatically 4.5 billion metric ton reduction in
carbon dioxide emissions by using clean energy. Using carbon energy, the
U.S.
Energy Information Administration projects
the United States will be producing 5.5 billion metric tons (pink),
compared to using clean energy that reduces carbon dioxide emissions
(pink) to less than one billion metric tons.

If
World government, business, and education leaders can
work collegiately together as they did with the establishment of the
Internet, clean energy
efficient electric
power and transportation will
create enormous environmental benefits and economic opportunities.
Companies
would manufacture consumer and industrial products made from
the billion tons of coal, 6.7 billions barrels of oil, and billion
barrels of biomass rather than burning them and destroying our
environment. Since oil is nine times more expensive than coal, oil
refiners could be converted into coal refiners for making
petrochemicals. Biomass programs, which burn food, are
eliminated and the food supplied to million of starving people.
The
World Clean Energy Economy grows to over $900 trillion; and the Space
Economy grows to over $50 trillion. Billions of jobs are created. Power
plants generate clean energy to bring every country into the 21st
century and carbon dioxide emissions are However, the real benefits come
from taking billions of people out of poverty, providing them an
opportunity for World-Class education, and empowering them to live out
their dreams.
