Each item of the horizontal menu above has sound.

Welcome to Wikisolver, a free cooperative effort dedicated to finding feasible, practical solutions to the thorniest issues of our time, including, but not limited to, global warming, drought, and the yawning, growing gap in the distribution of income and wealth.

How It’s Organized

The site consists of a top horizontal menu, two vertical menus, Posts plus a Search Box on the left, Evidence on the right, and a Featured Post at the bottom of the page. The Posts Menu consists of two categories, Reference and Solutions. Reference posts have important supporting information, opinions and perspectives related to the posts in the Solutions category. The Evidence Menu consists of portions of laws, reports prepared by prestigious institutions and prominent experts in a variety of fields, and graphs obtained from reputable sources. Its purpose is to support the posts on the left. At the bottom of this page is a list of relevant external links.

Plan A: Detail suggests a feasible 5-point proposal to halt the production of greenhouse gases caused by the widespread use of fossil fuels –coal, oil and natural gas- to generate electricity:

1. Use solar energy generated in private homes and other dwellings combined with gravity to produce hydrogen from electrolysis of seawater to sell to China, India and other chronic energy importers worldwide.
2. Unlike desalination, which consumes vast amounts of energy, aquafacture is designed to generate more electricity than is used in the production of the hydrogen. Energy importers would use hydrogen combined with gravity in lieu of fossil fuels and/or nuclear energy to generate electricity as needed and to simultaneously manufacture drought-proof unpolluted water at a location of their choice.
3. In new towns and cities built expressly for this purpose, new homes and buildings would be required to have the capacity to produce a surplus of electricity; its cost would be included in the property’s price. To help borrowers qualify for a mortgage, lenders would be assigned the profits from the hydrogen over the life of the loan. That should spur new construction, create jobs, expand the tax base and reduce federal expenditures. In addition, over time it should help reduce the growing gap in the distribution of income and wealth without higher tax rates, new taxes, or both, on businesses or the wealthy.
4. Public utilities, which would not be generating the new energy, would get reasonable fees for the use and maintenance of utility-owned grids.
5. The introduction of an unlimited new source of energy -if done gradually and imperceptibly- might end the need to peg the value of any currency to oil, a finite poisonous resource.

Plan A’s menu pages for the U.S., Mexico, the Andes, Argentina and the Iberian Peninsula are meant as templates for potential application in other areas of the world.
