The United Nations is calling for immediate change of power sources.

In all honesty, the best way to change quickly is to install alternatives of solar and wind. Nuclear takes a long time to implement. It needs to start immediately and the only technology that can react that quickly is wind.

It relies on geography quite literally. Wind maps and/or sun exposure maps. The desert communities, especially the Sahara, have the opportunity for incredible solar potential in a grid that can export electricity. This form of energy has unlimited capacity. In my opinion it is the best way of using solar energy and using STEAM turbines to replace many other combustible fuels such as oil and gas. 

The only real hurdle to this is the 'resistance' in transmission lines as it reduces the turbine out put in 'delivery' of the electricity. But, that is a problem no matter the source of the power that boils the steam and turns the turbines. This transmission line problem is generic to all electricity delivery systems including nuclear.

Research by UK’s Nottingham Trent University (click here) shows that Libya could generate approximately five times the amount of energy from solar power than it currently produces in crude oil.

The country has an average daily solar radiation rate of about 7.1 kilowatt hours per square metre per day (kWh/m²/day) on a flat plane on the coast and 8.1kWh/m²/day in the south, compared with just 2.95kWh/m²/day in the UK....

The combination of solar and oil to carry high heat to steam turbines.

The potential for any thermal should be implemented immediately. I have long thought Iceland's thermal potential was overlooked in producing electricity to Europe.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (click here) mitigation report, released Sunday in Berlin, explores some 1,200 scenarios to avert the worsening effects of global warming by 2100. The proposals  range from planting more trees to relying much more on nuclear power. (Related: "Global Warming 101.")
"This report is a wake-up call about global economic opportunity we can seize today as we lead on climate change," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in a statement. "This report makes very clear we face an issue of global willpower, not capacity."
Sunday’s report is the third in a series of UN reports on climate change released in the past year that paint a picture of "virtually certain" climate change, driven by increasing emissions—80 percent of them from the burning of fossil fuels—which is already melting the Arctic, acidifying oceans and harming crops.

Biologists need to work closely with wind field planning and implementation. The emergency of the circumstances may not prevent all dangers to migratory and local populations of birds.

The emergency has gotten to be so bad the question enters, "Save birds at what cost and will lack of action cause their extinction anyway?"

Conservation biologists are paramount to the success in saving all species that may remotely appear to be in danger of change of status to threatened or endangered. 

I remind the Sixth Extinction is occurring. The preservation of species is important and the way to that end is best decided by Conservation Biologists and Ecologists that see 'the entire picture' of a food web and/or ecosystem. 

Human beings first have to stop the deterioration of Earth before it can restore species to their natural habitats and lands. All nations have to work together and literally push the global economy into a far different view of transportation and energy. It has to be. It is too late anything else.

Carbon sinks have to be preserved. Also, countries like Ethiopia has to reverse it's drought. It has to be provided with dams that will in turn provide irrigation. The irrigation is for the return of flora to ultimately return water vapor to very dry areas that have historically been plush with vegetation. Ultimately, 'the vision' is for Ethiopia to never need the dam's potential to irrigation. The water vapor will begin to produce it's own rain. THAT IS THE PICTURE. Return vegetation that will produce water vapor through natural plant processes of EVAPOTRANSPORTATION. Natural transportation of plants will cause higher water vapor content and will produce rain. The dams will ultimately be dismantled as when rain returns could pose a flood problem over time.

It will work, but, the cost has to be minimized. This is an emergency and there is no room for exploitative profits that will prevent it's manifestation. 

The United Nations is in a perfect potential to find countries with the best technology to make this happen and provide the services without destroying a country's economy. This is nearly an international right of way to bring function back to the planet. Those ideas are very threatening to idiots in the USA that want to own the world. They are idiots and don't forget it.

My guess. Is the most benevolent authorities to approach for assistance to make all this happen are the Muslim Sheiks. They are incredible heroes in a moments notice just for the asking. 

I REMIND. There is no rushing to build a nuclear power plant. Details will be sacrificed, safety will be removed, substandard materials will be obtained. The idea cutting corners on nuclear power is completely irresponsible. What good is a nuclear power plant if it creates more danger than the climate crisis itself. No peoples are expendable. The world has this paradigm to own and no peoples are less important than any other. 

Some of the most dedicated to saving and propagating carbon sinks came from Africa among some of the poorest of our global populations.
