fiber optic cables and marbles

Imagine glue gunning fiber optic cable fibers to ordinary children's marbles. The marbles accumulate into clusters of grapes and when these grape bunches are put to work out in the sunlight, they drive huge amounts of sunlight down the fiber optic cables. Extrapolating from one cable rapped around the globe the light from the daytime side of the earth can light the night time side of the earth. The light travels at the speed of light to everywhere.

The more and more light collectors added to the system the more and more light power the system will produce. Thinking exponentially, the days of oil, coal etc powering the earth are numbered. All points along the system can be built simultaneously.

Combine light, energy, telephone, internet, media distribution (movies) all together in one system and the recipe ends up cheap, cheap, cheap.

Just the way I love to live my life.
