The future as seen by a "New-Ager": In the Economics section, by way of a small sampling, McMoneagle sees only four major banks in America by 2030; a common currency for North America by 2040; serious world food production problems by 2039; manned manufacturing companies on the Moon by 2055 and automated manufacturing plants on Mars and two other moons by 2075; a major stock market drop in late 2006, caused by a war in the Middle East; two new car engine types powered, respectively, by on-board, water-separated hydrogen and a new, exotic electrochemistry; bicycles-only transportation restrictions in four American cities by 2025, the business use of Russian submarines for container transport; and the actual teleportation of small physical objects by 2050. The author views with concern many developments that will occur regarding the Environment. McMoneagle expects air quality to degrade seriously, giving rise to a national epidemic of allergies in children and widespread air-scrubbing in buildings. Major tree-planting efforts will occur globally beginning in China around 2015 as a way of re-"greening" the planet, but not having their full effect until 2080-90. "Designer animals," the products of creative genetic manufacturing, will emerge from 2030-50, originally as pets and then as farm animals, leading to new meat delicacies. (People themselves will be able to shop for desired genetic characteristics in their offspring in 2050!) atlantisrising.com
