An astromolecular power station is developed in Alaska's most northerly and remote decommissioned oil field in Prudhoe Bay. A gargantuan accumulation of the infinitesimally small and overlooked electric currents yielded by the soil underfoot is invested to bridge the gap to energy levels of such astronomical scales they escape comprehension: Huge energy harvesting meteorites are launched into orbit to leech the rotating Earth's electromotive power and then fall back ripe with magnetic potential.
Although drastic, dangerous and expensive to an unprecedented degree, the systems ultimate energy yield meets all of our future escalating energy demands and supercede our reliance on fossil fuels. With the lengths of environmental harshness, fiscal expenditure and that cost in human life that civilisation demands in order to secure its energy future, the project explores the absurd rationality that underlies our consumption of wilderness to sustain domestic conveniences.
