🤔 If I ruled the world..
I would give people an option to switch all their teeth with identical metal replacements. Never have tooth ache again.. and businesses never lose money due to toothache related sick days.
I would make bicycle/EV highways with a top speed of 15.5MPH. I would sell four wheel two seater EVs (1500W) for £1200 but electronically limited to 15.5MPH (Power to weight ratio, currently is a joke of 250W).. there would be no need for tax or insurance or driving licence.. as they would be classes the same as bicycles.
I would put Stirling Engines everywhere.. they are a great source of green electricity. Sometimes solar panels overheat.. if you had a three prong solution.. a vertical wind turbine that had solar panels and for its base a Stirling engine, it would pretty much be generating electricity all the time.
Thorium reactors.. not exactly 'green' but more 'cyan'. Thorium is a good stop gap .. not accurate but think of it this way; current reactors are 90% clean 10% dirty.. Thorium is 99.9% clean and 0.01% dirty and even that dirt (radioactivity) is 300 years, not the 10% of 100,000 years.. Imagine we had.. thorium reactors that were designed from the ground up to be converted to He3 Helium 3 reactors once we have access to He3 from the moon. He3 reactors are.. *cough.. loud voice* 100% clean. He3 is the future of energy generation. But we need to get all the He3 from the moon as fast as possible! So say we use Thorium for 20 years.. then convert to He3.
Scottish houses wouldn't be showboxes with a lightbulb.. rabbit hutches. Think about how much builders and building companies charge .. the price of a brick is 50p. It's because we the people have banks backing us.. so it's like 'free money' for the building companies who have no incentive to give value for money.
When building a new house, I would bury a shipping crate underneath the house, this would be a sodium aluminium battery for the house, and I would have mini versions of the aforementioned wind turbines (wind solar Stirling) on the roof.
I would encourage a basic living income for all people, working or not.. I would cut taxation to zero.. which all would be paid for by mining our solar system and recovering the resources, selling those resources and so profit No one would have to die due to a stupid thing like money.. money is our way of rewarding those who contribute the most to society (supposedly) and those people can make as much money as they wish without taxation of any kind.
If we stop looking to the Earth for resources.. then we stop warring about those resources. And it is to be mentioned.. we have *near* unlimited resources in our solar system.. there is a layer of natural gas in Jupiter that could fit 1000 earths.. and here we are fighting for a sliver in the crack of the earths skin. On Neptune it rains diamonds. literally rains diamonds.. the carbon evaporates and when it cool in to drops, those carbon drops become diamonds.
I would FORCE every government to ban privately own energy companies, including petrol companies. One government equals one government owned energy company. IT would be in their interest to keep fuels bills at a minimum so they get reelected.. and we the electorate could see how well they are doing by examine our bills.. it would be a good gauge to see if they cared about or even respected us.
I would reintroduce our Scottish States.. which were disbanded in 2014.. and link the Scottish Additional Member System (our system of Scottish election) to those States.
I would remove the sugar tax for over 16 year olds.. if an over 16 year old can prove their age, they get the normal rate.
I would make land ownership a REAL thing in Scotland.. if you own your land you can build what you want without planning permission.. but of course no one wants slum lords.. so what you build must be for personal and family use and if you ever sell the land, you must either knock down the structure or go through the steps you would have done had you chosen to get permission.
If I ruled the world..
