Tequila Albedo Management

-the albedo effect is the reflection of sunlight that reaches the earth, back into space; this keeps the planet cool

-if the sea ice melts, this albedo effect diminishes, and we get cooked, this is not nice

-some peoples, like professors, think they can geo-engineer the planet a bit to enhance the albedo effect (see link about creating more clouds that reflect sunlight)

-other peoples, mostly not professors, think that we should all paint our roofs white; but this paint is made from petroleum so why would we use that?

-my idea is much more festive, because we can drink our way out of the problem, a bit

1. some agave plants are pretty 'white', not green

2. they grow in dry regions even in deserts

3. their color is often lighter than the color of the soil

4. we plant these agaves on huge patches of desert, like a huge reflector

5. then we continuously harvest them and replant them; from the harvested batches we produce billions of kiloliters of alcohol, more specifically Tequila!!!

6. or we use the alcohol to make carbon neutral ethanol

7. as they grow, the plants store CO2 from the atmosphere, which is an added advantage

8. I can prove to you that tequila agave plants are whiter than the soil in which they grow - a small collection is shown in the picture

-maybe we can build a solar power plant at the Sahara's/Sahel's coast to desalinate water and drip irrigate our huge tequila plantation with it

In short, the drunker we become the better our planetary albedo management skills!!!
