The Venus Project is a concept that could happen today but it is not up to me, it depends on what others do to help bring it about.

We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future - only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently.
