Pitch

if we introduce large volumes of saltwater into oue 10 largest natural depressions, we can creat new green zones,more rain, more crops trees


Description

Summary

 A  sea level canal  connecting to a downhill tunnel to a location in the desert that is  100 feet below sea level, 

We have 10 large depressions that could be potentially filled with many saltwater lakes ,canals and evaporator ponds,

This creates Hydropower potential and geothermal potential where there is none today

 

This creates new rain in our driest zones.dwide as the solution to slow down climate change. 


What actions do you propose?

Promote this world wide and get scientis to back it.


Who will take these actions?

All countries with deserts and tht UNITED NATIONS


Where will these actions be taken?

A ll deserts with large depressions


How much will emissions be reduced or sequestered vs. business as usual levels?

Globally 1/2 of all deserts can turn green and suck up 10% more co2 as billions of trees get planted and grow


What are other key benefits?

More fresh water 

more crops

more Hydropower and Geothermal power potential

more snow on glaciers

more green zones and 

more trees.


What are the proposal’s costs?

 $2 Billion per desert can create $100 Billion in new land value


Time line

The sooner we start this hydration project the better.

We can grow green energy 10% a year and be 40% green in 10 years.
