Problems that will be not too hard to solve with AP Technology are:
- removal of carbon dioxide to stop and reverse climate change (carbon diaoxide harvesting units, micro airships)
- stopping dependence on scarce elements
- stopping population boom
- ending energy scarcity
- resolving energy storage problems with energy storage cells and chemomechanical converters
- capture of seaborne plastic waste: great pacific garbage patch
- protection against some natural disasters
- better accommodation for the homeless (AP suit)
- giving back agricultural area to nature
- avoidance of release of toxic chemicals
Problems that will be hard to tackle even with AP Technology:
- cleanup of highly dispersed radioactive contaminations in the ground
- social and financial stability in the time of most rapid change
- dealing with the new dangers of AP technology e.g. waste management
- protection against some natural disasters
- cleanup of old landfills
Further opportunities:
- making our advanced civilization a great deal more disaster proof
- major improvement of public transport
- better access to space and the deep sea
- richer and more colorful environment
[TODO: add explanatory chapters for each of them]
More concrete applications can be found on the "further improvement at technology level III" page.
