Energy 105 builds on the principles of each of the previous newsletters.
Excellent management works from the end goal backward to the current position in time. We as a collective group want a total energy mix, with the core element of our use of energy being "stability" while maintaining the environmental symmetry of both use and replace. To use today's terminology, a "net zero" impact; from cut branch into the fire to the planting of a new tree, creating an energy transfer from one form to another, allowing for the current use and then the future use of similar energy.
As most know, the type of energy depends on the replacement timeline. Unless properly accounted for, some energy forms are irreplaceable at scale, and timelines can range into the millions of years. Planning on these timelines is outside of the scope of local and global political landscapes, of current human biological timelines, and are calculated based on the assumptions that need to be made today, without any information to correlate with the future environments.
To replace energy, we have to plan for technological advancements that could exist to enhance development, or at the very least, have similar environments and technology to what exists today. Planning for future generational energy requirements will need to be centered around the usage centers, and the overall conservation strategy as it pertains to the global energy consumption.
Data maintenance, evaluation of current energy inventory, overall usage commitments of community developments, population enhancement, and exploration within the bounds of colonization (vertically, subsurface, oceanic, lower orbit, etc.) will all be factors of energy usage.
Management is working from a fixed point in the future, working backwards using actual data metrics to allocate usage as demand is controlled, measured, optimized, and scheduled. On a global scale, this inventory is impossible to manage, based on political factors mentioned above. Many resources will be mismanaged, and therefore create gaps within the energy usage scale, creating similar resource rich environments to that of today's world, with each individual culture allocating resources as defined by leadership and export opportunities. Technological advancement of global management systems could create an equality design. Unless autonomous, humans will continue to adjust the management at scale, creating opportunities for war, famine, etc., everything that exists with the current human management systems.
As we saw in Energy 101, the resources are available, and the delivery systems are minimal, causing for a delay to market. The scheduling of energy usage should be based on the technological advancements to replace all energy consumed with similar energy to be consumed by later generations.
For example, if a 100-year-old tree is cut down for firewood, the energy will be used in a single day. To replace that same energy use, it would take 100 years, plus the decision to cut down the tree in 100 years for another single use of energy consumption. Two hundred years in exchange for 2 days of energy. The technological advancements of the future would need to focus on creating more energy from the tree/energy source (and also assuming no outside forces affected the tree in 100 years - fire/flood/earthquake/disease/storms/etc.) or to lessen the timeline to create the equivalent energy for the task in the future. Does the tree need to be cut down in 100 years? We can start to extract data metrics that provide insight into the value of the specific energy based on replacement timelines.

The same is true for all energy sources. As trees are excellent energy storage devices, they do not have the renewable energy ability of solar, wind, hydro, or carbon gases. Identifying ways to collectively manage the resources we have, while planning and scheduling the energy use of the future will provide us with an overview of consumption that correlates with future needs.
Identifying natural structural energy consumption that can be as close to a 1:1 timeline as possible would be the original goal, with 'abundant' energy being the overall goal of generations to follow. Abundant energy, with the capacity to share in the future, will allow continual growth, and the ability to resolve many social economic issues at scale through time.
Natural resource management starts small, starts with correctly managing the consumption based on the energy replacement timeline and working as quickly as possible to advance technology to create energy (safely) that matches and exceeds the usage at a local, regional, and national scale.
The energy series is about solving the problem at hand: "assist the integration of multitudes of energy into a cost-effective source of power for the planet as a whole."
Utilizing the information learned in 101 and 104, the energy management design is built, optimized and monitored at scale, with the correct correlating technology that provides insight, strategic planning with optimal conversion of energy. Cutting edge laboratory results can share subsurface molecular structure designs, creating the development of area specific energy that could enhance development in different geolocations.
These steps will need further infrastructure, professional opinion, correlated computational forward-looking metrics, and validated non-bias management programming. However, as we learned in 102, quantum computing will allow us to find answers to questions faster, because quantum computing allows for a non-bias, culturally neutral, safe digital dimension where knowledge is freely shared, and questions are answered. All equations are built to solve a specific problem, and quantum mechanics is a machine learning optimization tool that takes multiple equations from subsects of different studies (i.e., mathematics and physics, chemistry, etc.) and creates formulas for each specific task to be done in optimal time. Quantum computing will start to answer complex questions through the transfer of the equational solutions presented in different fields of study. A quantum computer is a polymath datacenter, applying solutions with equational problems.
Management of energy resources becomes ensuring schedules are met, and resources are maximized, and optimal replacement energy is constructed. The future is very bright when we focus on the abundance that we can leave as an energy legacy.
