The 10 billion test

Beginning 1992 are about 5.2 billion humans on earth. However, the growth of the population has not ended now. Only the industrial countries have a stable number of inhabitants.

The development countries are in a phase of change where number of children and infant mortality are in a very unbalanced relation. Maybe it's possible to bring the population growth at 6 billion under control. But this would be very optimistic. Let's take as a test criteria a round number like 10 billion.

Test criteria? Yes, it's not about an exact prognosis about the population on earth. It's about a base to estimate, is a technology useable.

"Is this technology for 10 billion prople useable?"

This is a test. Some examples. A car with ICE internal combustion engine for one from two humans. This gives at the 10 billion test 5 billion cars with gasoline or Diesel. I think, it's not necessary to make long calculations to say this technology can not pass the 10 billion test.

Would we be only 5 million on earth, there would be no reason against cars with ICE. But we are now more than 1000 times more.

  Founding of PEGE


After the concept for the GEMINI was ready November 1991, it became soon clear, that this is more than the concept for a house. It's enough material for a energy political,

Only 13.600 m² surface, this are 2 soccer fields. So much space has in average one human at 10 billion humans.
