Venus Project

Zeitgeist 2 mentions the Venus Project which proposes the world can be run on solar, wind, tidal and geothermal power, with electric cars and maglev trains for transportation, and unlimited abundance of food, shelter and basic needs by eliminating scarcity.  Technology would handle 90% of labor, while technology itself improves to be more and more efficient because it won't rely on money or competition, but instead payment will consist of warm happy thoughts and paintings. 

So what are some flaws in the idea that there is enough energy, food, and advanced technology for everyone in a society relying on resource and energy abundance without using money as a competitive incentive?  Could Intel create better CPUs by being paid in happy thoughts?

Venus Project is more bullshit than ORBO (http://www.steorn.com/orbo/), anyone with a high school education can tell that site is used to scam fools. No technical information whatsoever, no blue prints just a bunch of poorly drawn photos, I bet the creator of the site is probably a hopeful hippie who believes that Solar Power is the future.


You cannot power the entire world with solar, wind, tidal and geothermal power.

Geothermal power is not renewable, solar and wind use too much room and for tidal power there is no way to transport the electricity efficiently.
