Hydrogen Convergence via Small Town Sea Turtles
As long time readers know, we at the ebTDesign Forum are big fans of the sea turtle concept employed by the Chinese. Young Chinese nationals go overseas for education and then return home to raise families. We at the ebTDesign Forum propose using this same strategy to reinvigorate rural communities.
The United States has outstanding research universities and other educational opportunities in our large cities. So there is a natural internal migration that takes place with many young adults. The problem has always been how to entice these young people to return home to raise families.
At the ebTDesign Forum, we suggest the answer is hydrogen convergence. Assuming reduced dependence on foreign oil will free up monies for deployment of high-speed Internet access, small town sea turtles could continue their careers and contribute to America’s success in the post-Globalization marketplace.
Like the frontier of the late 1800’s, rural communities need the skills and energy that young families can bring with them when they return. These young adults will benefit in the long run from the slower pace of life and more time to spend with their families. They will also thrive on the economic spillover from hydrogen convergence and once again be allowed to live American Ideals.
