[[attachment:ghtc2015.tex]]  Latex file (will not "compile" without drawings, not included here)

Note July 12, 2015 - the citations in the June 3 version of the paper were poorly formatted, and two links have changes since posting the above.  I have repaired most of the citation format errors, and will post a new version (along with the June 3 version) on Monday July 13.  I still have not received the reviews expected on June 25.

The deadline for this draft was June 3 midnight.  The next morning, I'm already thinking about what I could have included. :-)

It is an accident of history that computers are programmed with text; Inca quipu, Mayan and old world weaving, and Jacquard machine-woven brocades were designed and coded visually and tactually.  '''The read-only memory for the Apollo Guidance Computer was literally a rope of wires hand-woven through magnetic cores[A].'''  Programs may be created, compiled, and evaluated with other sensibilities; '''...'''

  .- Education initiatives in Guatemala (including subsidies for keeping kids vaccinated and in school)
  .- Uniforms and fees can suck up a lot of the money, flowing back out to Guatemala City and the west.

  .- Electric power cooperatives (new mexico).  Cooperatives require functional local democracy and common interests.  
  .- This might work well in rural Guatemala municipios.  Guatemala City is too far away to understand local needs.

  .- Visual chart for energy in terawatt years, with '''exaggerations'''.
  .- The solar circle is the entire world land surface covered with solar cells, which would rapidly kill the planet.
   .- This assumes 100% collection, conversion, storage, and transmission efficiencies.  10% might be possible.
   .- When terrestrial solar advocates bring numbers, [[ http://server-sky.com/SolarEarth | bring a calculator]],
  .- The uranium bubble is way too small, presumably very inefficient use of existing refined uranium.
   -. With closed cycle integral fast reactors and complete fuel burnup, very low grade ores can be used, almost no waste.
   .- There are 5e13 metric tons of uranium and 2.3e14 metric tons of thorium in the earth's crust.
   .- At 5E16 J/T, 1TWy=3.16e19J, 632T/1TWy, that is 450e9 TWy, a ''mere'' factor of 5 to 1.5 '''billion''' larger than 90 to 300 TWy.
  .- The 6e8 TW passing the earth closer than the moon is 26,000 times larger than the "SOLAR" circle shown on the screen.
  .- The 3.8E14 TW emitted by the sun is 16.5 billions times larger.
   .- The 2.3e4 TW circle is 500 pixels wide, so 6e8 TW is 80,000 pixels wide, and 3.8e14 TW is 640 million pixels wide.
   .- Properly done, space collected energy '''used in space''' does not rob the biosphere or add heat to the earth.
  .- We must be very very careful - some people believe strongly in industrial-scale terrestrial solar, and resist actual analysis and empirical evidence with slanderous anger.
