Global orchard of decision trees needed to address greenhouse gas problem
Actions taken to address global warming will have impacts on most human activities. By the same token, most human activities impact global warming. Robert McIlvaine of the McIlvaine Company says the ubiquitous nature of this problem demands a new approach. Rather than individual decision trees focused on narrow aspects, there is a need for a global orchard of synergistically juxtaposed and fruitful decision trees.
The pollination from one decision tree to another will make a huge difference. China generates CO2 to create the goods which California buys. Therefore the Chinese CO2 reduction decision tree is impacted by the California consumption reduction tree.
There is presently limited capacity to deliver wind turbines. This impacts not only the Wind Energy Decision Tree but other renewable and fossil energy options.
The world’s wealth is finite. Energy security, healthcare, poverty and other uses of this wealth will be negatively impacted by increases in expenditures to reduce warming. Pollination between trees will be necessary to obtain the right balance.
A small corner of the global orchard has been created with a number of decision trees developed by the McIlvaine Company. The Power Plant Air Quality Decision Tree is nourished by a powerful mix of communications media depicted as the root system.
McIlvaine also has decision systems on wind, solar, biomass and other renewable energy subjects as well as one covering biofuels. The overview of this Global Orchard shows the juxtaposition of trees for suppliers, investors, consultants, regulators, and operators.
The benefits of the pollination ability of the orchard are demonstrated with decision recommendations for the operation of coal-fired boilers. Changes to existing coal-fired plants could cause net reductions of CO2 by 35 percent. Replacement of these plants with new super critical boilers and the incorporation of other technology could make a net 55 percent reduction.
