Back in the 1800s the primary use of energy was to generate heat by cutting down trees and vegetation and burning them as fuel - referred to here as “Traditional Biomass”
- this was a defining feature of our World 2.0
GLOBAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION - A PRIMER
We have hopefully all seen this wonderful diagram from LLNL showing the Flow Diagram of the world’s Energy Consumption in a very useful form full of diagnostic power
So how did we get to here ?
And where are we going from here ?
Back in the 1800s the primary use of energy was to generate heat by cutting down trees and vegetation and burning them as fuel - referred to here as “Traditional Biomass”
- this was a defining feature of our World 2.0
- and they started to define many of the characteristics of our World 3.0
4. Coal reached as high as 50% of our Energy supply and has continued to grow in absolute terms even though its proportion has shrunk to around 25%
6. And Gas has been steadily growing its share of the market
8. And technology has more recently enabled Wind and Solar to have growth potential as Energy sources, but their scale remains very small
- which is almost half of the growth rate of Global GDP which runs at about +3.0% per annum on a trend-line basis
- and the result would be a consumption rate of TWh 263,800 per year by 2050, or 1.66x higher than the current level as of 2019
This chart tells us that we are consuming 534,000 PJs of primary energy
- but we are only getting 210,000 PJs of useful work out of that
- and 58% of what flows through the system is getting wasted as Rejected Energy
- where the laws of physics dictate natural limits to energy conversion efficiency
- we can achieve the same functional outcomes with dramatically less energy consumption because less input energy is rejected as waste heat
- with Transportation as the single biggest area of opportunity

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time! https://t.co/xPMGL36VGy
So today, I am going to quickly talk about 4 or 5 countries where you can get residence visas.
Why residence visas?
For starters, they are cheaper, FAR CHEAPER than passports, and offer almost all the benefits, not not, but a large swathe of them.
Second, residencies can be...
a pathway to citizenship.
In one or two of the countries I will talk about tonight, if you renew your residencies long enough, and fulfill all requirements, according to their law, which differs from country to country, you become eligible to apply for full citizenship.
So...
you can see why they are good enough?
Cool. Alright, let's begin.
The first country is
1. Barbados
Yes, @Rihanna's country.
The first thing I love about it is it's fully black, majority descendants of ex-slaves of Igbo extraction.
That's why they refer to their country...
Barbados last year officially launched its 12-month Barbados Welcome Stamp, a new visa that allows remote workers to live and work from the Caribbean country for up to a year.
Applicants must electronically submit documents, such as a copy of their international passport and...
I'll do a thread of countries outside Nigeria where you younglings + all of you "young at heart" making smart internet money can get Permanent and Temporary residencies, allowing multiple entries and exits.

As always the idea is for you guys to have a PLAN B.
