Big Push

I often ask myself what would happen if we produce too much clean energy, more than we can use ourselves. The answer I think of is we would invent new problems that need a lot of power to solve. That is the way people are, when they solve a problem they search for new ones and solve those. 

My vision of the future would be billions of dusk thrusters, this is how they would work. Shortly after the sun goes down at about 23:45, millions of quiet electric powered jet engines would thrust directly up at the sky, they would be very quiet but they would push thousands of tonnes of pressure onto the ground. Then at about 12:15 they stop. Why? 

Well, they would do two things...

They would trigger earthquakes and they would push the planet very slightly. Triggering lots of small earthquakes would prevent stronger earthquakes.  

The billions of thrusters would collectively give the whole planet a slight push in the direction of its orbit (anticlockwise), this would cause the planet to speed up slightly and take a wider orbit. This would slowly make the earth move away from the Sun, the sun is slowly getting bigger and hotter at the surface and the future earth will receive too much heat and life would be impossible. 

There's more, I'll tell you later.
