Dear Mr. Bezos, instead of pushing for increased energy use to create more slop, how about making something truly meaningful?

You have the money to do a LOT good, you also have the resources and contact to actually do it.

Here is a suggestion:

Set up a fund with 10 billion USD, have it managed to produce a decent, but predictable return every year.

Take another billion USD, and fund a non-profit organization that will develop the following:

1. A semi autonomous garbage collecting boat, powered by solar power.
2. A mothership for number 1 with a processing facility that takes the garbage collected by a a fleet of the smaller crafts, basically dry it, filter the water and compact the dry gargabe.
3. A high power incinerator at a port that can burn the garbage at a very high temp.

At the end you should have a large fleet of the semi autonomous garbage collectors, a minimum of two motherships and a port side incinerator.

Deploy the garbage collectors and motherships to the great garbage patch and set to work cleaning up the surface.

As the initial funding for the company dries up the funding of the organization should come from the returns of the fund set up earlier.

The organization should accept donations and build more garbage collectors and motherships, and also develop new methods of collecting garbage from the oceans.
