The Only Meaningful Alternative To Oblivion
Global warming is a reality. The single highest contributor to climate change are CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in automobile engines, and power plants.
When the 3200m summit on Greenland’s ice cap experienced rain for the first time ever in 2021, TOMATO:GSL was founded.
TOMATO:GSL The Only Meaningful Alternative To Oblivion – Global Solar Link proposes a low-risk technology path countering global warming, starting immediately: to construct a world-spanning electricity grid connecting solar power plants and demand centers, allowing the world to operate 100% renewably, and eliminate the need for daily and seasonal storage and therefore fossil backup. On top of that, everybody on the globe would have access to basically unlimited clean energy.
Total solar irradiance on globe is constant, but illuminated areas change. E-W diurnal storage is a matter of hours and possible. N-S seasonal storage is a matter of months and very challenging.
The Global Solar Link (GSL) is an immediate, complete, proven and technology agnostic solution to keep all carbon in the ground. GSL can be free of seasonal storage, GSL can be secure, democratic, and aiding global development.
