Actually this has me thinking about something from scifi... I think it was Ring world or something like that, where they basically made a ring of solar shields so as the ring world spun around the shields would create night and day cycles. Now imagine if we did something like that which only shaded the sun every couple days, and we built massive solar collectors on the inside of each shade? Solve global warming and the energy crisis all in one shot!

Now if only that whole free market would get its ass in gear...

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
