As an alternative to burning coal, oil, and
natural gas to generate 9,318 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, 213
kilograms of antimatter will be used. By comparison, United States
generated 3,800 billion kilowatt
hours or 26 percent of world's electricity.
To
bring every country into the 21st century requires
support from government, business and education organizations.
As antimatter becomes economical, chemicals will be used to make
products to bring every country into the 21st century. Millions of new businesses and
billions of jobs will be created.
