Say we find ways to take energy out of the atmosphere. How do we use it in ways that maintain global cooling? : Eco Answers

See I am non stop on the
move for interesting content on
Alternative Energy Sources. This morning, I
discovered a really
excellent piece of content that talks
about Eco Energy Sources from a new
point of view. Today’s amazing article is titled Say we find ways to take energy out of the atmosphere. How do we use it in ways that maintain global cooling? .
Question by earthsun@pacbell.net: Say we find ways to take energy out of the atmosphere. How do we use it in ways that maintain global cooling?
We put up enough high altitude wind power “two miles up, Makani Windmills on kites” that we actually directly significantly sustainably lower the temperature on this planet. [Global cooling, every KWH taken by us cools down earth 859,845 calories, or 3412 Btu's.]
Simply, stupidly we COULD use all that power in ways that turn it right back into heat.
Or, we could look for ways that both do useful work and lock up significant quantities of energy: aluminum ~ useful stuff, extremely energy intensive; diamonds ~ takes lots of power, takes out lots of carbon.

What’s TOPS your list of ways to use abundant power (a by-product of our global cooling project) that are both needed on the planet and which also sequester away LOTS of heat for a long time??

(More on Makani from PBS science nerd, Bob Cringley www.pbs.org/cringely/pulp… order of magnitude drop in price (20:1?); fossil fuels can’t compete; clean, green, renewable, decentralized; with thanks to Google.)

Giant lasers to shoot at stuff in space. Why sequester here?
