A crash course in changing the world.
It´s a sunny day . . .
. . . 24 degree. I´m standing on one of the numerous hills between Almeria and Malaga. Ten years after I visited Andalusia and especially the XXVI Expo Agro-Almeria, a business fair about agriculture and innovation in the mediterranean area, I come back to see how these projects will have developed into reality.
The region changed a lot during the last 10 year. Nearly as much as in the 15 years before, when the area had become a huge greenhouse.
They are still facing the same problems: being one of the hottest and most rainless areas in Europe.
The landscape is dominated by colonies of wind turbines, even Don Quixote would have capitulated. Unfortunately the solar cell project still isn´t really running. They could do so much more about it, having over 3000 hours of sun a year.
10 years ago I was here for holiday, now I´m here for business. I´m working for an E.U. supportet project, which was founded in 2015 to built up an entire European renewable energy system. I like this job a lot, because I can travel a lot and improve the environment by doing my job.
I´m totally lost in thought, when my mobile phone is ringing. It´s Alchemy, who tells me about the food crisis in Japan. Almost exactly ten years after the big tsunami and the following tragedy of F**ushima the Asian country is confronted again with a menacing danger. "Definitely not the best start in this century" I´m thinking.
"But when we are able to let tomatos grow in the only desert in Europe, we will also be able to manage this problem . . . ."

Awesome! Most of these places I've never even heard of! You clearly backed up your story with a lot of research and threw in a bit of current events. Great!

I hitch-hiked through that area twenty years ago. I don't remember much except for the heat! If we can harvest that, it will surely be a great resource.

I just realized, by creating a steam energy plant, you could use mirrors to direct the sunlight at a tube filled with watter, boiling it, and then use the steam to drive a turbine. I'm not sure what you could do with the energy though.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
