Description
The information explosion of the 20th century has made obsolete all of the beliefs about reality that preceded it. Led by the works of Albert Einstein and R. Buckminster Fuller, this new information also opens up new opportunities and possibilities to create a constitutional global society of peace, prosperity, and environmental purity. Fuller's Global Grid Initiative is introduced as a doable, win-win, planetary project to bring this new society into existence. Fuller proposed the interlinking of renewable energy resources to establish a global energy internet. This system will provide a permanent supply of clean, abundant power to uplift the standard of living for the whole world and to eliminate pollution.
