Functional equilibrium exists when something benefits everyone at the same time. Thus the need to take a good long hard look at what needs to change in politics. Right now Politics face two main aspects financial maximisation and economic stability. Fact is that we have other more pressing problems like energy shortage, crime, and job creation. Now all of these things cost money. In politics money is the start all and end all of everything. Yet I want to point out that if energy and job creation becomes priority we will be a more financially sound country.

For argument sake let us say our government build a canned food factory driven by sun power close to a farming community. That community will generate canned food products indefinitely... Technology can provide purified water to be pumped from the sea to dry land and irrigation becomes stable. Now look at the jobs you have created and you are producing food abundantly and cheaply AND you can do this indefinitely. You will soon have generations of intelligent farmers and schools dedicated to teach generations of children how to sustain the sun power-plant, the pumping and irrigation systems then there is the factory that will need technicians and workers. Multiply this model by a 100 and all the canned products that it will be able to generate can and will feed millions cheaply. This will improve health and lower living cost. Thus crime will go down and a functional system will take over.

Forget supply and demand. Just supply and turn these farm products into green fuel that can also be exported and used. Fact is we can grow everything we need if we don’t have to worry about water and energy. So why are we living the way we are now? “No matter how you look at it you know that I am right about this.”

In the end I know that South Africa has the capacity to do this because we are still dynamic unlike bigger countries we can implement these systems and sustain them. Imagine our economic stability if we can provide renewable oil products, food products and fuel products. Imagine the technology we will be developing! Our children will live in a clean new world a brave world but in the end a sustainable world.

I invite you to think with me
