What do you think of my plan to save the world? : Eco Answers

Ok I am non stop on the
move for new info on
Alternative Energy Sources. Today, I
discovered a really
amazing information that discusses Eco Energy Sources from a different
perspective. Today’s is titled What do you think of my plan to save the world? .
Question by Matt: What do you think of my plan to save the world?
Many people think we have a problem with over population, but I think the problem is more to do with a lack of energy resources. We will soon have a big problem from lack of energy resources, and capitalism seems to be unable to fix the problem because it’s sole purpose is profit. This may sound crazy at first, but think about this…
We use fossil fuels because that’s how big energy companies can make the most profit. So here is my idea:
Private energy companies should be disbanded and nationalised so they aren’t all about profits for their shareholders. Once all oil companies are nationalised, they should then be merged together into a global energy “institution” (similar to the UN, but purely dealing with the worlds energy needs). Then, all countries should contribute an equal percentage of their GDP towards the building (and research) of a globally owned chain of geo-thermal powerplants. If we properly harnessed geothermal or fusion energy, then we would have a thousand times more energy than we would ever need, and could then fix the food shortage problems by growing food using artificial lighting inside skyscrapers built specifically for farming.

I know that this idea would destroy some economies who’s main income is oil, but to combat that, the ‘Energy UN’ could compensate them with extremely cheap or free electricity until their economies adapt and find other sources of income.

If you can think of why this wouldn’t work, then let me know and I’ll try and find solutions to those problems.
A lot of people here seem to think I am threatening their precious capitalism. Calm down! Energy is just one industry. There is no reason why every other industry could carry on running in the way that each government wants them to be run.

Yes, I know fusion hasn’t been invented yet, but my idea was mainly about geothermal. Fusion was a secondary idea in case it gets invented in time to be incorporated.
Yes it does sound a bit like globalisation, which I am usually quite weary of. But this is an issue that can only be solved with a global effort, and profit has to be taken out of the equation or everything else would take second place. I have no problems with profit, but when it comes to this, it needs to be irrelevant. In 30 years time when the worlds energy needs can no longer be met, it will be much harder for governments to make profit.
@Olivia Munn
The only real problem with over population is that there isn’t enough resources (eg. oil and farming land) to support the population. There is plenty of room on this planet for lots more people if there were the resources to support them. People can build upwards, which adds much more room.
@Landin
Solar panels are an extremely inefficient source of energy and always will be… unlike geothermal.
@Ross T
Yes I’m very much against the NWO, but only because it forces political ideas on other nations. This is an issue that needs a global approach. Its pretty much the only benefit I can see to a NWO. But this ‘Energy UN’ would have to have nothing to do with politics and purely be for the purpose of solving the energy crisis.
