2076: What Went Wrong?

Hi, if you previously read this post I have moved its three sections to new posts because each is really very different and together they made this post way too long. The new posts are titled:
Year 2076: The Initial Dream (this post)
Year 2076: Background
Channeled: Good, Evil, Malice and Creation

Thanks for reading my blogs, while I present the material for the year 2076 as stories and articles it was a very real experience for me. Not all our futures are so bleak, and the details of any particular future may differ only slightly or very dramatically. The particular future that I describe in my AD 2076 stories is just one which appears most probable given the current state of our world. All of the scientific background regarding the potential disasterous saturation of our oceanic carbon sinks is true. We will smother ourselves to death in a relatively short time if we fail to make the changes required to build a sustainable global energy infrastructure based on solar power satellites and terrestrial power receiving antennae grids.

To our future, may it be sustainable, Greg
