Elevated solar photovoltaics sited on a fraction of existing cultivated lands, technically referred to as Agrivoltaic microgrids (plus batteries-controls), promises enhanced economic security for farmers, who generate onsite power and export excess power, while continuing to grow crops, pasture grasses and livestock grazing below the solar panels. Energy security is also enhanced as a result of the distributed design, or what the U.S. rural electric cooperatives call the new "agile fractal grid." The model builds upon the U.S. Dept. of Defense decree that all military bases transition to islandable microgrids capable of operation when the grid or pipelines collapse (whether due to physical attacks, cyberterrorism, cybercrime, or climate-triggered catastrophes). Recent analysis found it would only take a couple of percent of existing cultivated lands sited with agrivoltaics to generate nearly 100 of total global energy demand for all purposes. This 84-slide presentation provides both overview and details about this multi-benefits accruing energy service option: collapsing most GHG emissions from the energy sector (which now comprises 3/4th of total global emissions), a dozen other energy-spewed chemical SCARs ("social cost of atmospheric releases), eliminate need for massive land conversion to biofuels and threats to biodiversity destruction, and 90 percent decline in water extraction.

The two nations are also the planets largest CO2 emitters, jointly releasing nearly half of the world total. Business-as-usual scenarios are insufficient to address the acute sustainability challenges that both nations as well as the community of nations are facing. However, collaboration in pursuing solutions through unprecedented statesmanship, leadership and technological advances will simultaneously provide national and global sustainability solutions. Joint initiatives are in both of our nations enlightened self interest from immediate and sustained economic and environmental gains to long-term well being and prosperity of our peoples and will make a major, essential contribution to finding global solutions to the devastating risks facing hu- manity and the biosphere.

currently 75% of Great Plains is farmed/ranched, generating 5% of the region's total revenues. Long-term sustainability threatened by increasing frequency severity droughts, heat waves, soil erosion, dust storms - with increasing probability of long-term dust bowl. Placing several million large wind turbines on just three percent of the Great Plains would generate 100% of U.S. current power consumption, while providing farmers/ranchers with royalties twice as large as from ranching/farming. This would enable regenerative restoration of soils and carbon storage by shifting to deep-rooted, drought resistant native prairie grasses. Bison co-evolved with prairie grasses, and offer another source of revenues from healthy meat production. Eco-tourism offers an additional revenue source, given the restoration of migratory bird flyways. And soil carbon storage offers another revenue opportunity. In sharp contrast to business-as-usual, an inevitable Austerity driven future, this win-win-wind strategy is a Prosperity driven future.

Humanitys unceasing ingenuity is generating vast economic gain for billions of people with goods unavailable to even kings and queens throughout most of history. Unfortunately, this economic growth has triggered unprecedented se- curity challenges of global and historical magnitude: more absolute poor than any time in human history, the sixth largest extinction spasm of life on earth, climate destabilization with mega-catastrophic consequences, and multi-trillion dollar wars over access to energy. These multiple, inextricably interwoven chal- lenges have low probability of being solved if decision makers maintain the strong propensity to think and act as if life is linear, has no carrying capacity limits, uncertainty is controllable, the future free of surprises, planning is predictable and compartmentalized into silos, and Gaussian distributions are taken as the norm while fat-tail futures are ignored.

The emergence of Internet availability to one-third of humanity and access by most of humanity within a decade has spawned the Web analogue of a Cambrian explosion of speciation in knowledge applica- tions. Among the most prodigious have been collaboration innovation networks (COINs) reflecting a diversity of genome types, facilitating a myriad of collective intelligence crowd-swarming phenomena (Malone T, Laubacher R, Dellarocas C. The Collective Intelligence Genome. MIT Sloan Management Review, Spring; 2010, Vol. 51). COINs are essential tools for accelerating and scaling transformational solutions (positive tipping points) to the wicked problems confronting humanity.

The DENIN Dialogue Series is a semiannual lecture series sponsored by the Delaware Environmental Institute (DENIN) that brings experts of international renown in environmental research and policy to address the public at UD's Newark campus. Totten's presentation will be podcast on DENIN's iTunes U site following the lecture. Totten will address the topic Water in an Uncertain Climate Future. Billions of people around the world are mired in poverty, are chronically ill, and lack adequate drinking water and basic sanitation services. Efforts to ensure water security now also contend with the impacts of climate change and the uncertainty in water flow and availability. Water use is pervasive throughout the global economy but concentrated in agriculture (about 75 percent of water withdrawals worldwide) and thermal power plants (48 percent of off-stream use in the U.S.). A core concern is how to deliver water services for these needs at least cost and risk while addressing issues of social equity and ecological integrity. Totten will present the case that there are win-win-win pathways in addressing these multiple crises, and he will highlight some of the evidence and experience to date in using innovative practices, policies and regulations in delivering water and water-related services. He has nearly three decades of professional experience in promoting ecologically sustainable economic development at the local, national and international levels. At Conservation International's CELB, he engages corporations and public institutions in adopting strategies to shrink and offset the ecological footprints of goods and services throughout their lifecycle. He has given more than 1,500 presentations and written scores of publications. Totten is the principal co-author of the 2008 book, A Climate for Life: Meeting the Global Challenge, an interdisciplinary perspective on preventing catastrophic climate change and human-triggered species extinction while providing robust economic growth. He received the Lewis Mumford Prize for Environment in 2000 for pioneering the creation of interactive multimedia and Internet tools for spurring ecologically sustainable development. As senior adviser to U.S. Rep. Claudine Schneider (R-R.I.), he drafted the 1989 Global Warming Prevention Act, cosponsored by one-third of the House of Representatives.]]>

Totten's presentation will be podcast on DENIN's iTunes U site following the lecture. Totten will address the topic Water in an Uncertain Climate Future. Billions of people around the world are mired in poverty, are chronically ill, and lack adequate drinking water and basic sanitation services. Efforts to ensure water security now also contend with the impacts of climate change and the uncertainty in water flow and availability. Water use is pervasive throughout the global economy but concentrated in agriculture (about 75 percent of water withdrawals worldwide) and thermal power plants (48 percent of off-stream use in the U.S.). A core concern is how to deliver water services for these needs at least cost and risk while addressing issues of social equity and ecological integrity. Totten will present the case that there are win-win-win pathways in addressing these multiple crises, and he will highlight some of the evidence and experience to date in using innovative practices, policies and regulations in delivering water and water-related services. He has nearly three decades of professional experience in promoting ecologically sustainable economic development at the local, national and international levels.
