[lit-ideas] Re: Portugal opens major solar power plant

There's no easy way out it seems.
No, there's not. There's even a cost to breathing -- it wears out your lungs and it contributes to the CO2 in the atmosphere thus contributing to global warming which makes you pant and spew forth even more CO2. If all creatures would just stop breathing (that's acting locally), we could save this planet (that's thinking globally).
Instead of concentrating on developing the most efficient furnaces and air conditioners, I suggest we concentrate on developing the most efficient use of our totally free source of energy, the sun. If we could just find some way of controlling the rotational speed of the earth and rotating it longitudinally as well as latitudinally, we could make the whole earth a semi-tropical paradise with no need for heating or cooling. I think if Boeing and AirBus got together, they could develop jet engines large enough to accomplish this goal.
