Dear Fellow Researchers,
My work is mostly concerned with feasibility studies and scientific forecasts for future development of Humankind. My work is absolutely scientific and in no way "science-fictional".
My Masters Thesis published in 2000 was titled "Accelerator Driven Nuclear Energy Systems":

I have shown that subcritical fission reactors driven by accelerator neutron source can produce much more energy then their accelerator consumes. These reactors would use widely available nuclear fuels like 232Th and 238U. Unfortunately, by 2000 nuclear fission energy was already in decline. In a more recent work on history of energy production I argue that nuclear energy was a lost opportunity for Humankind:
Preprint History of Prime Movers and Future Implications
In my recent work, I present feasibility studies relating to Energy Revolution driven by solar and wind power:

I present a case that photovoltaic power would not only replace fossil fuels for energy generation, but would also enable Humankind to increase overall energy production by a factor of at least 100. As global energy production increases, global industrial production and income per capita will increase as well. Hopefully, Humankind will enter global post-scarcity economy. This process should take many decades similar to Industrial Revolution.
In a recent work I describe some of logistics of energy generation and distribution with primarily photovoltaic energy generation and hydrogen economy:
Preprint Advanced Energy Storage and Distribution Grid
In another work I present a case for harvesting wind power from Jet Stream:

Would anyone be interested in joint work on aforementioned subjects?
Best Regards,
Mikhail Shubov
