I've brainstormed ideas on how to melt snow that piles up on roads instead of moving it, especially on city streets where too much of it has to be removed in dump trucks. Melting it with trucks that are powered by electricity, which cooks off the snow into vapor that flies off into the atmosphere, could be one way of doing it. Where the water can be poured out behind the truck, after the snow is melted and made into warm water inside it (nuclear fusion reactor on the truck would be good for this). The snow removal would thus use the hot water from the melted snow: 1. to rinse remaining snow and flow it off into the gutters, wells and off the road 2. heat the road somewhat so fresh snowfall would melt 3. the streets would be washed and cleaned with warm water First, I thought about an electric truck using radiative heating, then to heat the snow as the truck picks up off the ground while it moves. This would be a good solution to melt off the snow, however I ran into a problem...

For every strategy there is a counter strategy, or at least the best counter strategy should exist that will allow an optimal outcome with a range of probabilities and risks that create the best opportunity for victory. In the Afghan war, much like American strategy in WWII, mine was to create what was necessary to counter the difficulties faced by the war effort. For instance: 1. Supply lines were exposed to terrorist attacks in Pakistani territory where NATO could not defend them, because they had no troops present which made fuel costs rise to $500 a gallon for the US military. My counter strategy was this: - create an alternate supply line through the north: this included a logistics base in Russia, a Chinese built railroad into Afghanistan from the north, as well as the New Silk Road component of China connecting to Afghanistan through the Afghan Wakhan corridor and engaging China economically to protect mining sites with private security while ensuring an end of terroris...

UN security council members (and others) should reduce military spending by 10% by appropriating this amount to a joint effort to move humanity forward in a number of big projects, similar in scope and shortness of schedule to the Manhattan Project or the Apollo program . Here's the laundry list of what I want: 1. Universal vaccine 2. Mind transfer and storage 3. Moon mining 4. Circumnavigating hyperloop systems for Earth, Moon and Mars 5. Compact fusion reactors 6. Anti-matter propulsion 7. Interstellar spaceships 8. Moon and Mars cities 9. Cybernetic cities 10. Unicorn ideas that I've spewed this year. All of them. This of course reduces military spending for the top military powers, gets them to cooperate, builds international projects with unprecedented amount of funding that is increased and added to EVERY YEAR. This is a HUGE IDEA. HUGE HUGE. Get it done!
