Rusty, P-hack, and Old Mech, thank you for your responses. I probably should have chosen a title less ambitious than saving the world, but if this plan were to work (and it were ever implemented in the first place), we would expand from there.
Rusty, we have recently discussed nuclear power in my classes. People do not seem open to the idea, which brings us back to the world not wanting to be saved.
People really like the idea of solar power, but without being able to connect dark parts of the world with light parts, it just does not seem reasonable. I can only imagine how big the power cord for an entire country would be, and how difficult it would be to span continents. I cannot imagine that it would ever be viable to build a solar power satellite.
P-hack, yes, it would make sense to research sustainable areas. Some people do migrate for better opportunities, although I am not going to pretend that everybody would be able to.
Old Mech, I believe that there have been innumerable examples of the News sources not being accurate. My best friend always talks about Walter Cronkite being one of the first to editorialize, and we have continually suffered with news opinion since.
