SWOT Analysis
3. Looking closer into the Seven Problems
(This Section 3 extensively researches
the Seven Problems, as a Business Plan would lack integrity if it argued a treatment for
Seven Problems without
first understanding each of them and what
Caused each. It is
not essential to read this Section 3 if you have a reasonable
understanding of the Seven Problems.)

more difficult and expensive this is going to be.”

that
a
"dramatic shift in lifestyles"
rather than
"dependence on green-friendly technology"
(safe nuclear
energy, hydrogen power and advanced carbon sequestration)
is urgently required to mitigate climate change
(g)
Renewable
Energy is needed to conserve fossil fuels for
future generations using
Carbon Capture and Storage
(a)
Renewable Energy is needed to conserve fossil fuels for
future generations and buy time to perfect Carbon Capture and Storage -
compression/storing will take many years to maximise

West Texas
Crude after "peak oil", with Australian labour prices increasing as we have hit
"peak labour".
(d)
Many Australian Baby

VII.
One in 5
Australians is Disabled which represents a material
cost upon the public purse, foregone potential productivity and low QOL for
those Disabled
(a)
The cost to the public purse, foregone
productivity and QOL for the Disabled are each significant.
Could these three "downsides" be reduced if a framework was available for Abled Australians to assist
some of
8.8% of Australians who
suffer a Moderate or Mild Limitation to commence a Recreational Exercise Activity?
(b)
Analysis of the types of
Disabilities and age distribution of the Disabled indicates that

Disabled Australians would
be physically able to
commence a Recreational Exercise Activity,

Participants are willing to assist them.

The Business Plan incorporates
Assistance Procedures and
Offer and Request Forms
