Solar SkyBus Rail 500 Economic impact on the world

 # SolarSkybusRail500: Revolutionary Transportation Infrastructure and Its Transformational Economic Impact on Europe, India, and USA The SolarSkybusRail500 represents a paradigm-shifting transportation concept that merges high-speed intercity rail (500 kmph), urban transit (100 kmph), comprehensive container freight management, and integrated solar energy generation into a single elevated infrastructure system. This revolutionary approach eliminates the inefficiencies of intermodal transfers while generating surplus energy through its integrated "SolarSnakeFarm" - a continuous solar panel array spanning 12 square meters per meter of route at 15 meters above road level. The implementation of this system across 30% of existing road networks in Europe, India, and the USA would fundamentally transform the global transportation landscape, energy security, and economic structures of these regions. The analysis reveals that such a transformation would require unprecedented investme...

Novel Coronavirus #COVID-19 proved to be many orders smarter than human species !

How dumb humans (scientists) proved themselves against the smart novel SARS-COV-2! But DHARAVI slum put these scientists to shame !   From 21st April 2020 all effort made till now to reach WHO, world governments ignored and people and economy are suffering. The largest slum of the world Dharavi in Mumbai, used Oximeters from April 21st and WON over the Corona virus : Today 24 Jun they shut down care centers. Advice to WHO [ Twitter link describing above ] An appeal to PM India to save his nation.     Stealthy,  quickly infecting novel SARS-COV-2 cuts communications to body’s immune system , so that no external symptoms like temperature or fever or cough seen. But within hours replicated taking over cells and attacks lung capacity to transfer oxygen to blood and amazingly here too allows carbon dioxide to be exhaled so that an infected one doesn’t feel anything out of normal. But SpO2 that is hemoglobin le...

The dangerous times of fiscal instability ahead..

http://www.latimes.com/news/ opinion/commentary/la-oe-- bilmes-war-cost-20110918,0, 1598244.story?track=rss&utm_ source=feedburner&utm_medium= feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ MostEmailed+%28L.A.+Times+-+ Most+E-mailed+Stories%29 "Ten years into the war on terror, the U.S. has largely succeeded in its attempts to destabilize Al Qaeda and eliminate its leaders. But the cost has been enormous, and our decisions about how to finance it have profoundly damaged the U.S. economy. Many of these costs were unnecessary. We chose to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan with a small, all-volunteer force, and we supplemented the military presence with a heavy reliance on civilian contractors. These decisions not only placed enormous strain on the troops but dramatically pushed up costs. Recent congressional investigations have shown that roughly 1 of every 4 dollars spent on wartime contracting was wasted or misspent. To date, the United States has spent more than $2.5 trillion on the wars i...

Economy, politics & diabetes

The weakness in pursuing clear cut paths and objectives is rampant in politics. It is the art of possible. So ethics, values and strong positions needed to be taken in war time crisis like situation will be thrown overboard when the going gets tough for the political party in power. Real war unites a nation and society. But the diabetic like disease, invisible, but deeply debilitating is deceptive and our financial system and economy are in the throes of such debilitating disease. It does not look like the black and white war situation which all can understand. But spreading hunger and depression with more and more joining the ranks of jobless, grievously hurts the society. But the enemy is invisible to the suffering population. If intellectuals and economists are able to unite and define the parameters in very scientific terms and indices and remedies too in as much clear cut terms, instead of leaving it to some long winding interpretations and widely differing approaches to attack ...

Theory of Constraints - primary culprits of economic meltdown are a few regulators & their criminal negligence!

From Wikipedia I could get the material I read long time back . The current situation of globally interconnected complex financial network should actually have fewer constraints to manage. These constraints must be by the regulators who have to choose the critical parameters to be observed and strictly controlled. When not done in time it could be a case of sudden collapse causing the correction. Now that the constraints to keep the equilibrium actually are fewer which means it only needs failure of very few institutions or persons in charge to cause global meltdown.  May be we can count on our fingers the major regulators like Greenspan, Chinese Wen, and regulators of Europe or say the G7 countries who failed to do their due diligence. The inexcusable failure of regulation and managing the constraints as required by the persons in charge , very paradoxically have no punishment while the players suffered and the system is collapsing. Institutions like SEC slowly wake up now and deliver...

Largest economy in the world,forgotten fundamentals and copious tears!

Commitment to excellence by improving constantly the product quality and couple the same with cost effectiveness so that the consumer gets products progressively improving in quality, at reducing prices, is the key to keep the consumption up beat and add wealth too because the purchasing power of the currency is sustained. This leads to sustained jobs and surplus incomes to enable spending. This in my mind is very critical core issue of building up an economy. Then the same qualities should reflect in financial services and banking too. That means Ponzi schemes and similar conscious fraudulent games should be treated as crimes and the white collar criminals should not get the extended goodwill treatment. The regulators and the systems have notoriously played shut eye even though the signs were glaring. The quality of lending keeping in view the debtor's capacity to pay is a fundamental issue, which again was compromised and that too knowingly. It is as much failure of the state r...

Economic stimulus with initiatives in energy and infrastruture creating jobs and wealth!

Obama as President will be kick starting a massive $800b investment in energy and infrastructure. It is an excellent move to think of 5 to 7% of national economy to be used for priming the economy. Two cardinal principles, of course, I expect the wise architects of this massive conscious effort,to follow. One is employment generation with creation of permanent assets which all the future generations would be grateful for being a wealth generator and not budget guzzler posting losses and proving to be financial burden; secondly this opportunity should be treated as a historic golden chance to cause a paradigm shift in our life style reducing dependence on fossil fuel as much as possible. One such massive and ideal initiative to my mind is to implement alternate gravity energy based transportation technologies of US origin, to eliminate import of 8 to 10 million barrels of oil daily, prevent spewing out of 3.5 billion tons of carbon annually while making handsome profits of 30 to 40% pro...

ASCE and relevance to society-a note to President of ASCE

Dear Mr President, welcome! I am worried the path ASCE is taking. A solution to save 98.5% of man made energy in transportation is being denied publication in our Journal on Transportation Engineering! It is a disservice to the members of ASCE to be denied an opportunity to be the first to share a breakthrough development by one of their members. Now they will have to read from some other journals. USA needs urgent solution to make us energy independent, and economic down turn can be addressed with such energy saving transportation solution like Gravity Powered Urban Rail! It is not a joke to be able to save 98 to 70% of man-made energy , replacing the same with gravity power, while using the existing infrastrutire too. I am intrigued as a very senior civil engineering professional with enough professional work reported all round the world, and not needing an endorsement at this stage in my life, what our society is looking for- to be unconcerned with current problems of scoiety makes ...

A neat write up by Colbert I. King in Washington Post A few Obama Thank-Yous, but what next?

Hi Mr King, Liked your neat write up. I share this historic moment with you. So much of hope has been placed in one man and Obama must be feeling the heavy burden now- but he is so likable guy and starts with a huge all round good will. But he needs a break - a lucky one to turn the tables of the economic mess we have today created by the financial wizards who played a glorified Ponzi game with virtual money without actually creating wealth. But will he able to spot one even if one is available? He needs a truly value adding and wealth creating invention which can boost the country's lifestyle at affordable cost! Quite often the bureaucracy and established lobbies actually block him from access to such work- his own high position which gives him power to deliver also ironically blocks him from getting access to his solution which is badly needed. Let me share an example. USA imports oil and we pay heavy sums to gulf countries and now they are not buying back our treasury bonds, as...

Melt Down of world markets

Well hope the world will recover-- drops of 50% value in stocks in all countries, and GM in USA talking of bankruptcy as a natter option, though saying it is not an option-- some how --does not bode well. Who stole the money? or the accounting policy of mark to market for assets acted in reverse, suddenly making the debt uncovered by assets, causing a collapse for the company.There seems to be a collapse in trust quotient in the market- the instruments they used to believe each other seem to have failed badly. Now an open field is left and even when liquidity is there, no one is willing to stick out neck to offer credit! What a sudden credit crunch spreading like wild fire across the globe. Like when debit entry is there there must be an equal balancing credit entry- who got all the money seen to be lost in the market to the tune of $ 3 trillion in the world! Or it was only a paper trick and no real wealth was created, but only a perception that we are getting wealthier by globally spr...
