World Kilowatt Dollar

The celebrated scientist Buckminster Fuller wrote a book called "Operating Manual for Space Ship Earth", and in it he proposed a global currency based upon energy. The currency unit was to be the "World Kilowatt Dollar".

Interestingly enough, this essay on that fantastic site Energy Bulletin seems to be proposing exactly that. An incisive and exciting prophecy for the new meaning of monetary value.

Another example of the "New Improved World Order" (NIWO) in action . . .

You can actually get "World Kilowatt Dollars" from the World Service Authority (along with your World Citizen's Passport), but I'm not sure who actually takes them, if anyone. Perhaps the WKD's day is coming soon, though.

Here is a paper on the SSRN network highlighting the mechanics for Central banks to create an energy backed currency. It is a little technical and likely far fetched for most people.
