:) Interesting to ponder. I believe that while the above seem far fetched, if we as a population of 6 billion focused on them, we would solve some of them. I applaud Europe for pursuing a working Fusion reactor, and other places for exploring workable hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Imagine if we just solved #1 to eliminate the burning of fossil fuels, how it would transform the world and remove all the angst of the Middle East.
