Zeitgeist: Addendum Page #10

and technological understanding

to create a society of such abundance,

that everything we have now

could be available without a price tag

and without the need for

submission through employment

Yes, we do!

We have the resources and

technology to enable this at a minimum,

along with the ability to raise

the standard of living so high

that people in the future will

look back at our civilisation now

and gawk how primitive and

immature our society was.

What the Venus Project proposes

is an entirely different system

that's updated to present day knowledge

We've never given scientists the problem of

how do you design a society that would

eliminate boring and monotonous jobs

that would eliminate accidents in transportation

that would enable people to

have a high standard of living

that would eliminate poisons in our food

give us other sources of energy,

that are clean and efficient

we can do that out there

A resource based economy

The major difference between a resource

based economy and a monetary system

is that a resource based economy

is really concerned with people

and their well-being

where the monetary system has become so distorted

that the concerns of the people are really secondary,

it they're there at all

The products that are turned out are for:

How much money you can get.

If there is a problem in society and you can't

earn money from that solving that problem,

than it won't be done

The resource based economy is really

not close to anything that's been tried.

And with all our technology

today we can create abundance.

It could be used to improve everyone's livestyle

Abundance all over the world

if we use our technology wisely

and maintain the environment.

It's a very different system,

and it's very hard to talk about,

cause the public is not that well enough informed

as to the state of technology.

Energy

At present we don't have to burn fossil fuels.

We don't have to use anything that

would contaminate the environment.

There are many sources of energy available.

Alternative energy solutions

pushed by the establishment, such as

hydrogen, biomass and even

nuclear are highly insufficient, dangerous

and exist only to perpetuate the

profit-structure the industry has created.

When we look beyond the

propaganda and self-serving solutions

put forth by the energy companies

we find a seemingly endless stream

of clean abundant and renewable

energy for generating power.

Solar and wind energy are well known to the public

But the true potential of

these mediums remains unexpressed

Solar energy derived from the sun has such abundance

that one hour of light at high noon contains more energy

than what the entire world consumes in a year

If we could capture 1/100 of this

energy the world would never have to use

oil, gas or anything else

The question it is not availability

but the technology to harnesst it

and there are many advanced mediums today

which could accomplish just that.

If they were not hindered by the

need to compete for market share

with the established energy power structures

Then there's wind energy.

Wind energy has long been denounced as weak

And due to being location driven, impractical.

This is simply not true.

The US department of energy admitted in 2007

that if wind was fully harvested

in just three of Americas 50 states

it could power the entire nation

And there are the rather unknown

mediums of tidal and wave power

Tidal power is derived

from tidal shifts in the ocean

Installing turbines which capture

this movement generates energy

In the United Kingdom 42 sites

are currently noted as available

Forecasting that 34% of all the UK's

energy could come from tidal power alone.

Wave power, which extracts energy

from the surface motions of the oceans

is estimated to have a global potential

of up to 80.000 terawatt-hours a year.

This means 50% of the entire planets energy

usage could be produced from this medium alone.

Now, it is important to point out that

tidal, wave, solar and wind power

requires virtually no preliminary energy to harness,

unlike coal, oil, gas, biomass,

hydrogen and all the others

In combination these four mediums alone,

if efficiently harnessed through technology,

could power the world forever

that being said, there happens to be another form

of clean renewable energy, which trumps them all.

Geothermal power

Geothermal energy utilizes,

what is called "heat mining"

Which, through a simple process using water,

is able to generate massive amounts of clean energy.

In 2006 an MIT report on geothermal energy found that

currently available in the earth

with the possibility of 2.000 ZJ being

easily tapable with improved technology.

The total energy consumption of

all the countries on the planet is about

half of a zetajule a Year

This means about 4000 years of

planetary power could be harnessed

in this medium alone

and when we understand that

the earth's heat generation

is constantly renewed, this energy is really limitless

It could be used forever!

These energy sources are only a few

of the clean renewable mediums available

And as time goes on we will find more.

The grand realization is that we have total

energy abundance without the need for pollution

traditional conservation or, in fact, a price tag!

And what about transportation?

The prevailing means of transportation in

our societies is by automobile and aircraft.

Both of which predominantly need fossil fuels to run.

In the case of the automobile,

the battery technology needed

to power an electric car that can

go over a hundred miles and hour

for over two hundred miles on one charge, exists

and has existed for many years.

However, due to battery patents,

controlled by the oil industry,

which limits their ability to maintain market share,

coupled with political

pressure from the energy industry,

the accessibility and affordability

of these technologies is limited.

There is absolutely no reason, other

than pure, corrupt profit intersts,

that every single vechicle in

the world cannot be electric,

and utterly clean, with zero need for gasoline.

As far as airplanes, it is time we realized

that this means of travel is inefficient,

cumbersome, slow and

causes far too much pollution.

This is a mag-lev train.

It uses magnets for propulsion.

It is fully suspended by a magnetic field

and requires less then two

percent of the energy used

for plane travel. The train has no wheels,

so nothing can wear out. The current maximum speed

of versions of this technology,

as used in Japan, is 361 miles per hour.

However this version of

the technology is very dated.

An organisation called ET3 which

has connection with the Venus project,

has established a two-based mag-lev

that can travel up to 4000 miles per hour

in a motionless frictionless tube

which can go over land or under water.

Imagine going from L.A to New

York for an extended lunchbreak
