Earth Energy Systems (EES):

Earth Energy Systems (EES) are energy systems which are directly tapping into the various forms of solar energy created by the largest known solar energy collector, our wonderful "pale blue dot" , our home, our planet Earth.  For better clarity we  can divide them into following sub-groups:

A    Gravitation Energy Systems - Powered by ocean tides and waves action.

B    Atmospheric Energy Systems - Powered by wind, rain/rivers, lightning. etc.

C    Geothermal Energy Systems - Powered by hot springs or Earth geothermal mass.

D    ?

Humanity has successfully and symbiotically used the energy generated by EES for thousands of years, with minimal effect on Earth's environment.  However starting in mid 1700s due to the population growth, industrial revolution, and our ever changing lifestyles, we have increased our energy use per earth inhabitant from ?? to ??.  Logical solution of our "scientific" was to increase the energy resources with introduction of fossil fuels, nuclear fuels Slowly and unknowingly the humanity has embarked on its first, planet-scale, geophysical/environmental experiment, which we now know, is not going that well.
