None of these mega-projects will ever be undertaken
without a comprehensive study of the positive and negative
retroactions involved.
Geothermal Energy
As refinements in conversion technologies increase its
feasibility, geothermal energy will come to take on a
more prominent role. Readily available in various geographical
regions throughout the world, both on land and under the
sea, this energy source alone could provide enough clean
energy for the next thousand years.
Underwater Turbines
These underwater structures are designed to convert a
portion of the flow of the Gulf Stream through turbines
to generate clean electric power. These slow rotating
turbines would have a centrifugal separator and deflectors
to prevent harm to marine life.
Bering Strait Dam
A land bridge or tunnel might be constructed across the
Bering Strait. The primary function of this span would
be to generate electrical power and house facilities for
collecting and processing marine products. Beneath and
above the ocean surface would be tunnels for the transport
of both passengers and freight. Not only could this structure
provide a physical link between Asia and North America,
it could also serve as an avenue for social and cultural
exchange. This land bridge would perhaps serve as a base
for the development of clean fusion power. Pipelines to
conduct fresh water from melting icebergs to other parts
of the world may also be incorporated.
