Thanks
Stann: For longterm environmental restoration, and for sustainable energy development,
no these problems aren't going to be solved on a yearly quota basis.
I can foresee consortiums meetings and setting up budgets and longterm projections for
what it will take to solve problems, per site and case.
Restoring wildlife in the Gulf or restabilizing ecosystem populations so they are back on track
is going to take generations of replenishment.
I would say California could refinance their entire state budget by assessing the cost over 20-30 or 50 years
to do the work to restore forest and ocean ecosystems. And create educational internships for longterm
studies to monitor the natural populations. If the cost for each project is added up, then apply that cost
as the VALUE of that land, California could use this foundation as the basis of monetary credit. And bank
against the true cost of maintaining that land, and let that be their state Reserve system for currency.
So based on the true land value where the natural resources are included as the basis of the economic value,
then that can be counted as capital or equity to base the system of paying for the work and studies to be
done. Students can earn their education while doing public service, and get paid internships and jobs that
are sustainable.
If each area is mapped out for longterm costs of solving problems and creating "sustainable jobs and economy"
then the currency should follow that budget for the labor and time it will involve.
Not the other way.
If you set up the value of the currency based on destroying environment and just using commercial value of time and goods,
then this will be in conflict with the value based on preserving the natural resources as the basis of services, capital and credit.
I recommend looking into what will solve the problems first.
Then base the economy on what work, jobs and services can be sustained.
