GENI - The Sustainable Development World Power Solution

The Global Energy Network Institute (GENI) Initiative focuses on linking renewable energy resources around the world using international electricity transmission.

Decades ago, visionary engineer Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller developed the World Game simulation, posing the question:  How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?

Research shows that the premier global strategy is the interconnection of electric power networks between regions and continents into a global energy grid, with an emphasis on tapping abundant renewable energy resources — a world wide web of electricity.

Linking energy grids allows the light side of the world to power the darkside of the world, thereby reducing energy production capacity by up to 50 percent. Because it also reduces storage needs for renewables, it substantially increases the feasibility of using renewables as the primary or even only energy source. This point particularly enables solar energy use, the amply abundant energy source powering the biosphere.

The benefits of this sustainable development world power solution are proven:

• Decreased pollution from fossil and nuclear fuels
• Reduced hunger and poverty in developing nations
• Increased trade, cooperation and world peace
• Enables health care, communications and access to clean water
• Stabilized population growth
