What would a “benevolent” dictator of the world do to ensure survival and prosperity of mankind?

If the whole world was run by a single person, and his or her only brief was to ensure the prosperity and survival of mankind as a whole from now until his/her retirement in 40 years time, what actions would he take to achieve this?

Would he invest heavily in technology to try to find alternatives to oil for our energy needs
Would he promote more education and media so that people don’t need to travel as much, and use less energy.
Or maybe he would authorise a world war to get the population down to a level where the remaining people can live more comfortably with the dwindling natural resources there are.

Can someone help me summarize this article?

Between 5-8 senteces.

WASHINGTON – Democrats intend to put more focus on economic issues as Congress returns this week for a packed December agenda while President Bush and Republicans push for release of money for the war in Iraq without conditions.
House Democrats, sensing increasing unease about the economy, plan a session Friday with Wall Street executives and other financial experts to discuss the mortgage crisis, tightening credit and other problem areas.
The Senate returns today and the House returns Tuesday, with Democrats hoping to move quickly on an energy bill. The measure would increase fuel-economy standards for the first time in more than a decade and provide a legislative accomplishment heading into 2008.
But Sen. Pete V. Domenici, R-N.M, a leading Republican voice on energy policy, took exception to the proposal, accusing Democrats of striking a deal among themselves and including an objectionable provision to require utilities to use a set amount of renewable fuels.
“That is no way to pass legislation and is another in a long list of reasons why Congress has lost the faith and trust of the American people,” said Domenici, the senior Republican on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Republicans say Democrats are facing a legislative logjam because they have spent too much of the year on fruitless efforts to force a change in Iraq war policy.
Both parties want to block the alternative minimum tax to prevent an estimated 20 million taxpayers from falling under the levy that was created to make certain high-income Americans pay some taxes. But the parties have disagreed about how to accomplish that.
The House approved a plan that would have replaced the revenue by eliminating tax breaks for private equity funds and other financial entities, but it was blocked in the Senate. The Internal Revenue Service has warned that confusion over the repeal could delay tax refunds and complicate the filing season.
Congress also has to find a way to resolve a fight with the White House over 11 spending bills that finance every federal agency but the Pentagon. Bush has insisted he would not approve any domestic spending above his limits. Democrats offered to cut the difference in half, to $11 billion, but the administration refused.
Congress and the White House are also in a dispute over money for the war in Iraq. The House has approved $50 billion in interim financing, but it sets a goal of next December to withdraw most combat troops. That was blocked in the Senate, and Bush and Republicans have been trying to pressure Democrats to release the money without strings, saying a delay could force Defense Department layoffs.
Besides the tax and spending issue, Congress has to dispose of a major farm bill, the annual Pentagon policy bill, a trade deal with Peru and a terrorist surveillance measure, though the present wiretapping legislation extends into February. The fate of a children’s health insurance program also remains in question.

The sale of oil finances terrorism,right?

Why are more resources put into the preduction of alternative energies? Please don’t tell me that it’s because they are not economically viable because(with the exception of solar)this has been proven to be not true,for example Brazil(a developing country)has been running most of it’s motor vehicles on cane alcohol for years.So why are we still buying oil from countrys that are useing that money to finance terrorism?

Please take this survey!?

As part of a AP Government class project, I will be gathering public opinion on alternative energy (energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment).
As transportation and its respective costs increase, the question of whether or not the world should implement alternative energy becomes important.

I appreciate your time and cooperation. Thank you!

Isn’t global warming a cool marketing strategy?

I must say it does give us something new to do so it opens up more job opportunities. And more ways for consumers to more spending cautious, they’ll go for the brands that are more ‘environmental’.

The fact is global warming will be neither good nor bad. Global warming could make land once unavailable, resourceful land, it would create new habitats and allow life to grow it places it couldn’t before.

On the other hand it has motivated us to find new energy resources which would provide alternatives to the precious crude oil resource which is limited. However, global warming could help us find oil in places we couldn’t explore once before.

I’m thinking of making my own political party would you join?

economic policy: low or no taxes for companies that bring back jobs to America if they pay a decent wage and give health benefits to all employees thus ending the the health care debate give payments to new company start ups invest in alternative energy and punish oil companies outlaw lobbyists rebuild the infrastructure better than it is now create an economic council of economists industry and labor leaders all laws involving business must pass there unofficial vote
social policy: workfare give houses to the homeless make people on welfare get jobs or get only substance checks tie parents welfare checks to kids grades
education: completely overhaul the system make it federal
foreign policy: put sanctions on all dictators brake all alliances with dictators aid all opposition groups that are not terrorist in Latin america first help Mexico build on its huge natural wealth send peace keepers to all conflict zones and help them build resources
legal policy: get rid of technicalities
name: new popular front (is that bad if it is i’ll change it) tie it to the Popular Party
party policy: never except bribes (lobbyists) all campaign money is from supporters or personal wealth

Did you notice that Conservatives aren’t “conservative” on environmental issues?

Conservatives routinely demonize environmentalists, slam alternative energy research, deny global warming and promote waste, resource depletion, and the pollution of our atmosphere, our rivers, lakes, and seas.

Even Ann Coulter made the claim that nuclear radiation is “good” for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXFUUGeV1DI
Ronald: Kind of like mixing Bush’s social conservatism with him being fiscally conservative? Yes, I am aware the two are not the same, genius – it is a play on words.

What do this graphic mean? http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/u/urbanisation_gifts.asp?

In the graphic, what renewable or non-renewable resource can you see? What is an alternative renewable source of energy or the non-renewable energy source not shown? What is the key message of the cartoon, connect the key message about non-renewable resources in this graphic to the current lifestyle choices Canadians make and their impact on our environmental well-being. Explain the problem the cartoon is describing i.e.; short term profits versus long term sustainability.

What do you think of the venus project?

It’s useless to criticize the culture without providing alternatives. The Venus Project proposes plans for social change that work toward a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative social design where human rights are not just paper proclamations, but a way of life. The Venus Project has a vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know to achieve a sustainable world civilization. It calls for a scientific redesign of our culture in which war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human, suffering are viewed as not only avoidable, but unacceptable. Anything less will result in a disastrous continuation of the problems inherent in today’s world.

Simply stated, a resource-based economy focuses on resources rather than money, and provides an equitable distribution thereof in a humane and efficient manner. It is a system in which goods and services are available without the use of money, credit, barter, debt, or servitude.

The first objective is to eliminate scarcity. A resource-based economy overcomes scarcity by using renewable sources of energy, plus computerized automated manufacturing and inventory. It would design safe energy-efficient cities with advanced transportation systems, and would provide universal health care and more relevant education.
The aim of this new social design is to encourage an incentive system based on human and environmental concerns, and to avoid the shallow and self-centered goals of individual wealth, property, and power. These new incentives would help people evolve self-fulfillment and creativity, both materially and spiritually.

Green Cooking – Any Suggestions, experience, or sources?

I’m currently working on a paper that must revolve around the concept of energy resources, utilization schemes, storage concepts, conservation schemes, and societal or environmental impact.

After researching just how much energy our microwaves, toasters, ovens, etc. use, I thought it would be interesting to look into what’s being done to make cooking our food more environmentally friendly. I’ve come across some articles on TreeHugger (http://treehugger.com/) but does anyone have any other interesting articles, suggestions, or experience they’d be willing to share.

I’m interested in everything from food transport (using restaurant leftovers to power a vehicle that delivers waste for compost to growers, and picks up new food while at the farms) to alternative cooking methods (solar hot dog cooker made out of foil and an oatmeal canister).

Do people who want to bring down the oil industry not understand that they are the ones with the resources and?

capital to invest, and are currently investing and working with alternative forms of green energy? They know oil won’t be sufficient forever and have already began investing large amounts of capital into this.

Source: Chemical and Mechanical project engineer for fortune 100 company. (not myself)
tribeca – of course they want a monopoly, they are oil companies, thats stating the obvious (common sense), point of the question is that they are the only ones with enough funds to do it efficiently and now, whether you have something against them or not….I could care less about being hung up on what they did in the past, we have to deal with the present now.

Why are people so focused on gas prices?

The only reason why alternative energy sources aren’t really widely available for cars (fuel-cells, electric/hybrid) is because there isn’t a demand for them, thus car companies don’t make them because they think people won’t buy them.

So if people are actually worried about gas prices, why not make the demand for those resources?
to korensteen of spectrum- sorry if i’m not getting you, but a hybrid IS a car????
to organick- america isn’t the only country running on oil/gas

7th grade science help?

I am having a huge problem! I am to work with someone else in this project and it says to do this:

We have an energy issue here at the research station. We need you and your partner to help us find a solution to our energy problem. Based on what you have learned about energy, you will create a new energy source for the research station.

Currently, at the research station we are using:

•chemical energy in propane by converting it to electrical energy in a gas combustion engine
The last process in the list above requires us to burn fossil fuels and is not sustainable. This practice uses up natural resources and must be eliminated or replaced. Your mission is to come up with an alternative energy source for us to use at the station.

when will our oil run out?

when i attended the USAFA, we had an interesting presentation on oil supply and alternative energy sources. Why can’t we get a true answer about this subject? If there is an urgent need for new energy sources, wouldn’t it be logical to have every resource working toward an answer? If there is a need at all.

Can you help me with this?

Currently, for my class we are using:

energy created by converting the mechanical energy from moving wind into electrical energy in a wind turbine
radiant energy from the sun by converting it into electrical energy in a photoelectric cell
chemical energy in propane by converting it to electrical energy in a gas combustion engine
The last process in the list above requires us to burn fossil fuels and is not sustainable. This practice uses up natural resources and must be eliminated or replaced.

i need to come up with an alternative energy source for us to use at the station.
i need one becides the energy uses i aleready have : ]]

just as most people think their vote doesn’t matter, do they also think their contributions don’t matter

i mean their contributions to make efforts to preserve natural resources by recycling, using alternative fuels & energy, preserving water, save the owls, don’t use spray deodorants, wipe out flatulent cows, don’t eat meat, closing the hole in the ozone, all the above that are causing global warming, yada yada yada

Anyone else wish the U.S. would be the GREAT country it COULD be?

In our short history we have created so many wonderful things and also many horrors!

With the advances in technology we will hopefully one day lead the way to existing on this planet without leaving any harmful footprints! Or rather living in harmony with the Earth.
I think it’s time to make the large corporations who make their fortunes off the Earth’s resources change their economic bases to alternative energy sources. Same profit margins/different products!
Eutopia’s possible …I think it’s time!!
To the first few answerers….you really see no room for improvement?
Take a look around you!

Why isn’t alternative fuel research and financing near the top of our agenda?

Everytime Iran farts the price of gas goes up. Every oil ally we have in the Middle East (other than Israel) is intolerant to women and education. People are beheaded for not believing in Islam.

Wouldn’t you think that with all of our resources we have we could break away from this sort of vice that the Middle East has on us (at least partially)? Or at least, do you think, we should work towards that goal?

To think, our proud nation’s energy supply is under the mercy of extreme right-wing Muslim’s.

This is not a Bush-bashing question. It is the reality we have ignored for decades.
As a repsonse to majority of answers: has anyone seen Syriana. It addresses this issue of big oil.

Does any of the energy related issues, especially gas bother anyone?

It seems that the country isn’t really taking it seriously. They think that all of this will go away soon. I have taken a lot of geology classes and the experts are saying that all the oil fields are in decline, which means that they are nearing the end of their useful life. Oil isn’t being made anymore. The oil we use now was made millions of years ago and is made up of marine animals and plants. Most of the earth has been explored for more pockets of oil but they aren’t finding the big oil fields like you see in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. has reached the limit of their oil resources back in the 1970s. Our oil wells will never produce what they did once. Once the oil is gone, there won’t be anymore. The new oil wells will not produce enough oil to make up for the declines in the wells already producing or are in decline. The alternative fuels will not be able to replace the energy needs that we get from oil, fast enough and in the quantities we will need.
Those who answered my question didn’t even pay attention to what I said about renewables.
They will not get us up to where we are now with oil. Renewables rely on mostly biological precesses with exception of hydrogen, this isn’t a fuel but an energy carrier which loses as it is produced and processed. plus it requires electricity which is produced from the burning of coal or natural gas. Both global warming agents.

How powerful is the solar panel in terms of electricity generation?

I am wondering if the use of solar panel as energy generators can overtake or become more handy than our conventional power supply which is reliant on crude oil. With recent rises in crude oil or follow on increase in both gas & electricity bill, I think the big economies should be thinking of an alternative solution or else the oil producing nations and/or the oil cartels will undermine the developed world – the west. Remember, in any recession natural resources speaks.

Why is war even still going on?

Why are the soldiers still over in the Middle-East and risking their lives, I don’t see a point in the war.

Is the war even close to coming to an end?
Why can’t the U.S. just contribute more money in researching alternative ways to fuel our energy instead of wasting precious resources and polluting the earth. At this rate, the world probably is coming to end soon.

how does hydropower work?

I have to write a paper on an alternative resource and I chose hydropower. Can somebody explain how we get the energy from dams and rivers? I need to how the water turns the turbines in a dam and stuff like that.;

issues related to the environment!!!!?

1. Should national environmental policy focus on developing more oil resources, or developing renewable energy sources?
2.Should our national energy policy focus on building more nuclear power plants?
3.How does overseas oil dependency influence our economy/international policies?
4.Should the government offer tax credits (lower taxes) for the purchase of hybrid or alternative energy vehicles?
5.Should environmental studies become a mandatory part of science classes in public schools?
6.Should regulations on corporate pollution be increased, decreased or left the same? Why?
7.Should more civilian oversight be created to monitor government and military pollution?

Why don’t all OPEC countries place explosives and missiles targeting their own oil fields?

This would allow them to feel more safe in case of an invasion of their oil fields in the future? If anyone comes to invade, what the OPEC members would do would be to just destroy their oil fields and refineries.

No one wants a desert that has no natural resources so I assume the invading countries would just leave them be.

Wouldn’t this be a good form of self defense for the oil companies?

The reason I am asking this is because I see a possibility of large scale wars in the future for energy if we don’t start investing and mass producing alternative fuels.

Is Obama Complaining Because of Sarah Palin Pointing Out His Mistakes?

He says that she didn’t deal with issues even though she said this:

“…But he fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines … build more nuclear plants … create jobs with clean coal … and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers…”

Energy is an issue, and being in control of 20% of America’s energy, it’s an issue she knows best. Get real Obama, she spoke about the issues more than your attack dog Joe Biden.

So that’s my question, does Obama have a real reason to complain about her not talking about the issues, or was what I just said a lie?

How come Barack Obama & his campaign said “No” ideas came from the RNC that would help middle class Americans?

I’ve heard Biden say this morning he caught the last half of the speech… and I’ve also heard that Barack obama said they didn’t even see of all of Sarah Palin’s speech…

Is this the part that they missed?

“Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems – as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines … build more nuclear plants … create jobs with clean coal … and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers.” ~ Sarah Palin

Wouldn’t creating these kind of jobs help middle class Americans?

Now that gas prices aren’t strangling us at the moment, I see OPEC is going to cut production by 1.5 million..?

barrels a day in an attempt to keep prices up. Drill, drill, drill, will only get us into a deeper hole in my opinion. It will waste time and resources that could be used in developing alternative energy sources. I’m not saying we should stop drilling, I’m saying it should not be our top priority.

12/21/12 End of the world??

Will the world end on such a day, like the ancient Mayans and Nostradamus have predicted. Society is not prepared for an oil shortage. We’re already seeing Earth’s superpowers setting their pieces on the middle-eastern chessboard. We’re not devoting enough resources and time to alternative energy sources. Is global warming causing stronger hurricanes and may even lead to an ice age. Why is noone doing anything!!???
Ok the real focus of this question was what are we doing to stop our decaying Earth!?

Do Christians want the Earth to become uninhabitable?

I am searching for answers, I am not trying to offend anyone. By Christians I mean conservative Christians, such as members of the Christian Coalition.

Do Christians believe that animal extinction, global warming, depletion of natural resources, pollution, and so on are all part of the end of the world, and Jesus’ second coming?

If so, why don’t they believe their God is strong enough to destroy the Earth on his own without the help of man?

If not, why don’t most Christians support the Green movement (as in anti-global warming, alternative energy sources, conservation efforts)? Why do most conservative Christians think it is such an evil cause?
**** I mean Christians that are part of a very conservative fundamental movement, similar to and probably part of the Christian Coalition, headed by Pat Robertson! ****

I AM NOT GROUPING ALL CHRISTIANS TOGETHER, READ THE ENTIRE QUESTION.
**** Additional clarification: the Green Movement I am speaking of has nothing to do with the Green Party….read the entire question slowly and maybe more than once if you are having a difficult time understanding. ****
* Thanks for all the honest answers. Sorry to cause such an uproar, I just wanted to get an idea of how many people believed that was true. I admire all the Christians who spoke out in their beliefs with a calm voice of reason.

As for the personal accusations directed towards me, I guess I was asking for it…unfortunately for you there was no background info for you to base your remarks on…therefore they just made you look more unstable…no worries though..deep breath, go to you happy place…away from the pc obviously. Namaste sister…we are one.

Is the world prepared for an oil shortage?

It may not happen for another twenty years, then again it might. But, if we (the human race) cannot use fossil fuels as a form of energy/ natural resource, how will our lives change? Are their enough alternatives? Are we looking at an inevitable global depression?

I have a serious question?

In the future, natural resources such as coal and oil will be used up. How can we save on resources? What alternative forms of energy are available?

Do You approve of the McCain/Palin “Road to Recovery”?

I do Believe John McCain working together with Sarah Palin will be able to turn this thing around—-and here’s why: John desires to drill here—-drill now—and refine–(JOBS)-that’s not the solution for long term but any and all helps—then he wishes to encourage the development of new technological break-throughs in energy alternatives (JOBS)—-he wishes to harvest the oil from shale (JOBS)—he wishes to harvest our natural gas which is abundant (JOBS)—it is his desire to Utilize and develop ‘clean-coal-technology’—a great resource.(JOBS)—-he wishes to harvest our own vast resources of chemicals that we have been buying from abroad—and refine it (Massive JOBS_—he desires to use solar and wind resources as energy alternatives (JOBS)—he would like to see more nuclear reactors built to provide clean affordable electricity that will be needed to supply our needs. (JOBS)—–now all these jobs mean more people able to obtain good-paying jobs instead os sinking in despair.—-That’s a whole lot of money that is staying here in America instead of going overseas that will get pumped into massive job growth—-creating a broader tax base to ease the tax burden.—-Sarah Palin loves our country and will help in every way possible to make things better for us!
They will be a FINE team!—-sure would like to hear Your thoughts on this!

What’s the best way to end the US dependence on foriegn oil?

Is it more drilling to extract the remnants of a limited resource off our shores?

Or is it investing in alternative sources of energy, including encouraging automakers to think outside of the box of internal combustion engines?

I have a vehicle concept that I want to develop with a major corporation. What do I do?

I have spent the last 7 years developing a vehicle that runs solely on alternative and/ or renewable energy resources. I want to put it into development, but I hardly have the funds to even begin such a project, so I want to reach out for help from a large corp, but have no idea how to start. Most of the big names in motor companies are inaccessible via email, and I definitely can’t get them on the phone. This idea is worth an untold fortune, and I NEED TO UTILIZE IT!! PLEASE HELP!!!

stable careers in automotive field?

Help me out here, if possible. any answer would be much appreciated. Currently, im in the 10th grade attending a high school in southern louisiana. Our school systems down here are much different basically making us choose our career path as soon as we get here. im not saying thats a bad thing by any means, but it worries me that ive chosen a career path that is not best suited for myself. im already taking classes under the health profession and i know thats not what i want to do. ever since i was 2, my passion has been in the automotive field. its much deeper than liking fast, exotic cars. im very much interested in alternative fuels and other energy resources. cars are my life. i could tell you every make, model, year, and body style of every car made in my generation and some a little further back. im constantly researching, looking up new and future models. checking what cars are sold in china or somewhere and how they differ in what automobiles are sold in the USA. im updated with all new, upcoming, and returning manufacturers in the USA. i know all designs. im not a technical kind of guy.. engines really arent my thing… i find cars to be beautiful. i love automobiles that have form. i dont love the pointy, fast, exotic cars that most guys gawk at. i love cars that are different. i love cars that are new, innovative, and intelligent. cars showing practicality.
seeing the small fraction of my passion and knowledge for this field, are there any careers that are stable that might be a good fit. and car designer isnt stable. where might this kind of information be useful? i know, in the economy, the automotive industry is very unstable, but when you are putting wealth and stability against true passion, the passion wins. i would be hating life if i took a job in the health field instead of doing what i know best.
