Unless You can Professionally Analyze Energy Policy

A lot of industries don't like the energy monopoloy. That is why biotech is investigating biophotovoltaics - to democratize the systems of production. Unfortunately, not everyone likes biotech; and we've got to establish civic energy security before hydrocarbon depletion. If we run out of fossil fuels before then, average citizens will be thrust into an American Somalia until canned food runs out or protected scientists turn the lights back on.

The best you can do right now is wordstorm - start talking about ideas. We can actually learn a lot just by talking with specialists and loved ones; their elegant and nonverbal reactions both express and stimulate thinking in your body of knowledge.

Sentiment mining algorithms predicted two recent revolutions and a strategically actionable radius of Osama's hole1 - they payed attention to the frameworks in which people expressed their concepts. There are a lot of potential solutions; and we have to express them with the appropriate enthusiasm - safeguards against the impacts we wish to avert must also be taken.

Now, innovations in solar and wind are usually accomplished by novel abstraction of how physics are contextualized to such systems; but enzymatic architecture, like the rest of gene expression, runs in lockstep - biotech requires an understanding of the chemicakinetic steps between the project and its end.

It cannot feasibly approach without a chemical understanding of its subject of inquiry. Unfortunately, it doesn't know all the chemistry. Chemists induce structural formulas by observing such chemicals and then tinkering with structural formulas until until they deduce one that fits the conceptual model of chemistry.

I propose using algorithms to deduce such chemistry. This would be done by standard chemical tests in the context of other known chemicals; there is precedent for this2.
