The Fantastic Solution to Global Warming

Birds

Solar Power

Organic carbon sequestration fan, produced by genetically modifying flowers and nano-fabricated molecular-film batteries driven by the sun

Flower Patch

Geothermal and volcanic, explosive power capture.

Oxygen Production through trees

Carbon dioxide to be transfered into diamonds

Hydroelectric power generator

Tidal power generator (under surface of water)

Pine grove

Box of lightening

Door to pressure cooker where diamonds are mined

Diamond pressure cooker

Wind Turbines connected to special alloy cables that allow power to travel long distances

Alloy power cables

Nuclear fusion in stars buried in the soil powers the pressure cooker

A bit of fire to generate more heat

Recycled incandescent light bulbs assist in the separation of carbon and oxygen

Tree roots nourish soil

Duo-tone organic flower-turbine initiates the separation of oxygen and carbon

Nuclear power plant where waste is launched into space and upon re-entry into the atmosphere burns up into little pieces that are completely harmless

New diamonds can be produced in a multitude of colors

Problem: Too much CO2 in the air and conflict diamonds mined in Africa.

Solution: Draw CO2 down from warmer surface.
In cooler subterranean level, separate carbon and oxygen. Using a box of lightning, incandescent bulbs, fire, and a fusion powered pressure cooker: create diamonds under intense heat and pressure. Power the operation with captured stars, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric sources.

Pete Ippel Biography

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.

In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.

Mr. Ippel also manages the San Francisco Ballet School Residence, coaches basketball and track at University High School, is a fitness professional, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.

As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.
