Problem-The sun only shines for about 6 hours a day in any time zone. Storing this electricity for use during the remaining 18 hours is very expensive and resource intensive.

Solution-A network of solar or wind generating stations (4, 6, 8 or 12) straddling the Tropic of Cancer connected by high voltage DC lines that will supply power to locations where the sun is not currently shining.

Major Technology Hurdle-Superconducting power lines are not yet a reality. The hope is that this technology will exist within 10 years. Inhibitors to success-Political, non-existent technology, resistance to new ideas.

Energy Capturing Laser Beam (ECLB): An ionized path to capture the energy by colliding weather fronts. This idea could solve the world's energy problems forever.

The problem:The world is always short of energy. Today the world uses 15 Terawatts per hour. This need grows every year.

The solution: A single colliding weather front can release 10Billion Watts per bolt of lightning in 10 Msec. A Laser beam can be investigated to create a conducting path to a Super Capacitor bank. The Capacitor silo can be harvested as energy source.

Major Technology Issues:

1.Lack of a comprehensive design for the ECLB to create conduction along the beam as a guide to the lightning bolt.

2.The Super Mega Capacitors banks have yet to evolve. Super Capacitors have emerged and are in their rudimentary state .

3.A way to predict when and where the storm event is going to occur for more complete energy harvesting. (Earth map of rainfall locations are known.

4.The device needs to be mobile enough to be positioned for fuller energy harvesting. This is not required urgently since known locations are abundant.

Inhibitors to success:

1.A sponsor(s) to perform research to validate the concept.

2.Lack of research into possible impact on weather patterns

Additional benefit:

Research is needed to reverse the process and use the energy from Super Capacitors to cause weather fronts to trigger rainfall.

This would be a new high in migrating rain fall locations for maximum benefit and minimum water damage.
