From Alfred:

to Knol (Clean Energy 2030 = http://knol.google.com/k/-/-/15x31uzlqeo5n/1# )

By Jeffery Greenblatt USA

The problem is much more complex than I can imagine and thus requires a collaborative attempt to craft a working solution. Essentially a whole in ecological economics model has to be written and it has to be "global" in scale.

I begun a rough framework or foundation but it requires going much deeper then economic theory but into
well deep very deep..... and then
well heres the site

and heres some history.... and future

Earth/Human Cosentience

The development or evolutionary development of cosentience between the somewhat slower sentience of the Earth merged or united with the more somewhat immediate sentience of Humans possibly through and with the utilization and  conjunctions  of the internet and the international space station.

THE SHAMBHALA Ecological ECONOMY

The first global ecological economy model

 The shambhala ecological economy of the Earth, qualifies as the first "global" ecological economy,

It possesses

COMPONENTS:

ECOLOGICAL components...

    * at its root and heart ecological economy must I repeat must have a "value" and not necessarily only numerical basis that can be tied or synced to an economics model. The difficulty is in the tying of something as ancient and alive as the ecology 1 billion years to something relatively new as the human economy roughly 10,000 years or less. The first actual market system being considered that of the Dutch in the 17th century.

ECONOMIC components

    * reasonably pervasive and free global markets for both commodities and factors of global production

    * a global agricultural productivity sufficient to sustain a far-reaching division of global labor;

    * a global political structure (state/ parliament) which guaranteed property rights, enforcement of contracts, and freedom of movement;

    * a level of technology and organization capable of sustained global  economic development and of supporting a green culture that could be sustained with in the biocapacity of the Earth

    * it possesses a interest rate adjustment mechanism

    * it possesses a carbon or bio rate adjustment mechanism i.e. carbon subsidies and offsets

    * it incorporates a fixed, limited or less credit amount availability capacity determined to much degree by biocapacitic features.

These features make it feasible to analyze it with modern economic concepts in a comparative way. The Shambhala economy should be able to manage them in a sustainable and continuous way.

Through productivity-enhancing investments in fixed capital, the use of a large amount of energy (heat energy from peat as an industrial fuel, wind power, solar energy, limited oil, hydroelectricity and no nuclear) per worker, and a substantial investment in human capital (as witnessed by the high literacy rate), we should be able to maintain  labor productivity at the levels of the old world market. This is illustrated by the fact that in the mid-17th century the agricultural sector, employing less than 40 percent of the labor force, could already almost be a net food exporter (which it became by 1800), and the fact that nominal wages between 1600 and 1800 were the highest in Europe.

Another essential characteristic of a global economy: the continuous accumulation and effective preservation and equal distribution  of capital presented  among the global players, the G 20 and the four Tribes (productive and sustainable deployment of capital with in the means and biocapacity of the Earth)

A defining characteristic of a good economy is diversification and an advanced division of labor. By the mid-17th century under 40 percent of the labor force was employed in agriculture, whereas 30 percent was engaged in a highly diversified industrial sector, the balance of the labor force being engaged in commerce and other "service" industries. The numerous cities formed a complex web of interdependencies, with the lesser ports performing specialized functions to the major ones; the industrial towns specializing in specific types of production; the countryside becoming highly differentiated by agricultural specialization, with the villages evolving into service centers (or later sometimes centers of "out-sourced" industrial production). However, the integration of specialized agriculture and industry with the growing entrepôt functions of the ports (at least before these functions became disaggregated again in the 18th century) imparted a special dynamism to the Dutch economy during the Golden-Age economy[3].

A counter-argument against the "modernity" of the Dutch economy may seem to be the undeniable fact of the decline in per capita income growth at the end of the 18th century. However, at closer inspection it will become clear that this actually was a "modern" process of restructuring in the face of adverse circumstances, as may be seen in current modern economies, like the U.S.A. and European countries, that also undergo major structural upheavals. The 18th-century deindustrialization was in large part a consequence of a too-high real wage level, combined with protectionist policies of foreign governments, closing access to major markets. The agricultural depression was a general European phenomenon.  The crisis in foreign trade was answered, and partly parried, with commercial innovations. The financial and fiscal crisis, that proved the Republic's undoing was altogether modern in nature (unlike the comparable crises that regularly brought the Spanish Crown to its knees), but simply happened before the modern means of dealing with it (expansion of the tax base and/or monetary inflation) were at hand[4].
