Sustainable Technologies/Future Energy
As global warming increases, renewables are becoming a solution to provide the world with electricity while limiting the effect of fossil fuels emissions. Streetlights on highways are sources of electricity usage that consume a significant amount of energy. The cost is not only associated with the lights but also due to very long cables to satisfy.
CONCEPT FOR A WORLD WIDE ELECTRICAL GRID
It is time to start a world wide electrical grid. A feasibility study needs to be started now. The technology exists to build a world wide electrical grid now. The power would be transmitted with direct current to minimize losses from converting DC to AC.



Today there are only two solutions to energy storage for discharge times between two hours and twelve hours – lead-acid and lithium-based batteries. Lead-acid batteries have been used for over 150 years. Though dependable, they have very low energy and cycle life leading installations to be heavy and costly.
