The Small Islands Developing States rebranded themselves a few years ago as the Large Ocean Developing States on the basis of the 30 percent of the global economic exclusion zones they control.
This is an enormous resource.
For example, the OPEC nations control about the same percentage of global crude oil production.
The tiny nation of Tuvalu, with a territorial land mass of 25.1 square kilometers, has an Exclusive Economic Zone of 753,139 square kilometers.Â
This is an economic multiplier of 30,000 when this surface area is utilized to produce energy with Thermodynamic Geoengineering that is available all of the SIDS and the Asia-Pacific region.
An amalgam of the Small Island Developing States and the most populous countries of the Asia-Pacific Region, who like the SIDS are energy poor, is a recipe for a vibrant and prosperous sustainable blue economy that can thrive on the cheapest energy available.
