“I believe it is the duty of every man to act as though the fate of the world depends on them. Surely no one man can do it all. But, one man CAN make a difference.”
~ADM H. G. Rickover
DEI, as an organizational entity, will accept this counsel from the Admiral and pursue such an admirable goal.
MAD to MASS
The U.S. MAD policy of Mutual Assured Destruction consists of a tripod defense of submarines, aircraft, and land based ICBMs, any one of which can independently discharge enough atomic weapons to destroy the enemy. To fight the war on climate change, DEI recommends a MASS policy of Mutual Assured Survival Systems using a tripod offense of Nuclear Power, Ocean Power, and Solar Power. Any leg can complement other regenerative options (geothermal, wind, hydro, biomass, etc) such that each leg will have the potential to supply all the world’s energy needs for all time in a cost effective and environmentally benign manner. |
