United States can
achieve Energy Independence from fossil fuel by upgrading fossil power
plants with Mirror Power plants. The $700 billion, which is being spend on
foreign oil, would finance the upgrade the power plants, stimulate
American's economy by creating tens of millions of high tech jobs. If
government, education and business can work collegiately together again,
which they did with the
internet, America can achieve Energy Independence
in fifteen years.
Two hundred kilograms of
mirror matter
could
replace one billion tons of coal, 5 billion barrels of oil (13 million
barrels per day), and 6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas with 200
kilograms (440 pounds) of
mirror matter.
Carbon dioxide levels could be reduced by 3.8 billion tons or over fifty
percent. Eliminating the remaining 50 percent of fossil
fuel would double the mirror matter market to approximately $700 billion.
100-Megawatt, 1 Gigawatt
and 10 Gigawatt Mirror Power Source could upgrade 100-Megawatt, 1 Gigawatt, and 10-Giga Mirror Power Plants
respectively. Upgrading the existing electrical utility power plants to
achieve Energy Independence would cost about $700 billion per year
for five years. Eliminating the remaining fifty percent of fossil
fuel would double the time to ten years or about $4 trillion Market.
Off peak power could be
used to production of oxygen for commercial application and hydrogen for
motor vehicles as well as two new sources of income. The Hydrogen Economy
becomes reality. 50 million metric tons of hydrogen would be need for the
200 million motor vehicles in the United States, which means
doubling hydrogen production. Producing 200 million hydrogen burning
new cars at $10,000 per car would create $2 trillion Market.
The coal, oil, and
natural gas could be used for making products to bring every country into
the twenty first century. The World's annual consumption of plastic
materials is about a hundred million metric tons or four percent of the
World’s annual oil production for plastics. The other ninety six percent
of the oil would be available for making products in addition to the
billions of tons of coal and trillion of cubic feet of natural gas. This
is another multi-trillion market.
The trillions of dollar, which are being spent on
purchasing foreign oil, could be invested in the United States. Trillions
of dollars worth of products could be manufactured from fossil fuels.
Business could create tens of millions of high tech jobs. Using Mirror Energy, the United States economy could grow from $13
trillion today to over $150 trillion within
the Global Economy.
