African Economic and Environmental Prospects

The African continent has surpassed the one billion population mark, and with its horridly corrupt political environment and lack of higher education its prospects for defending its environment from predatory foreign developers and pollution dumpers is dismal. Yet Africa does have the perennial  sunshine that will provide a vast amount of thin film solar electrical power at village levels for low cost. If villages are constructed from composite solar collecting and storing plastics that have a long range durability for low cost perhaps some cleaner and cheaper energy production might liberate the Africans from repression by global corporations and Chinese Communist Party infrastructure transition.

Yet a new plastic without bisphenol A or other estrogen like chemicals is wanted for durability in the hot African sun as well as in the production of thin film and exterior building low-cost construction panels. African mass transportation should be assisted to skip over automobile infrastructure with its generations of deleterious environmental influence and move to  moderate-speed electro-magnetic accelerated fixed line vehicles.

An international ecological police force for Africa should be made available for national signers that would receive free investigatory and enforcement authority to control harmful pollutions from international powers. Africa for some time has been a dumping ground of unsound environmental transport.  Corrupt governments yield far too much profit to foreign corporations, and the foreign corporations share nothing with unemployed Alaskan poets, so the heck with em in Africa.

Africa’s ability to protect in river networks and old growth forests from development, need to protect mining wastes from contaminating local and regional natural systems and the opportunity for local ownership of private profit recognized by the international community should be enhanced with Google map deed registration of individual property ownership.

In the matter of freeing Africans from reliance upon corrupt government record keeping, simultaneous registration of real property and coordinates visible on Google earth might be innovated. Africans probably could use a standardized legal property registration system such that they are not all screwed b y the large, bribing of local and global powers making the majority homeless people of the future. 

Africans of course has a tremendous future as musicians and athletes–they consistently win the distance running events in America because they have not yet progressed to couch potato status that may be some time in the future before arrival. In science, average African colleges have few books on that topic, yet they can obviously rely upon global corporations for scientific advice and one day achieve 12 trillion dollars of continental debt. Americans have surpassed the Africans in that event.
