Global Petition for the implementation of sustainable energy production and living systems

Target:
The Honourable Elected Representatives, at all levels of Government
We, as global citizens, having the right to decide where our taxes are spent, and being increasingly concerned about our taxes and research funding being invested into subsidizing unsustainable and polluting energy production methods which induce climate change (for example the coal and nuclear industries) hereby request that those tax dollars and research funds be RE-CHANNELED into sustainable energy production that will protect the planet and benefit all its inhabitants, indefinitely.

TO: The Honourable Elected Representatives of the Government(s) of our Nation.

We, as global citizens, having the right to decide where our taxes are spent, and being increasingly concerned about our taxes and research funding being invested into subsidizing unsustainable and polluting energy production methods which induce climate change (for example the coal and nuclear industries) hereby request that those tax dollars and research funds be RE-CHANNELED into sustainable energy production that will protect the planet and benefit all its inhabitants, indefinitely.

Due to Climate Change through high levels of CO2 being released into our atmosphere (and overwhelming information from the scientific community confirming this) we believe that our taxes and research funding would be better spent in reducing CO2 emissions if they were invested into clean, sustainable energy production methods and living systems.

We believe our tax dollars and research funding, which are currently spent on the production of energy for our use, must increasingly be used for the development and supply of the following sustainable energy production methods and living systems:

1. Research and development of government owned geothermal energy production.
2. Research and development of Tidal; Wind; and Solar Power energy production.
3. More Government-funded scientific investigations to support infrastructure for local, clean, sustainable energy supplies.
4. The re-installment and/or continuation and/or the immediate development of a solar energy rebate scheme and the creation of subsidies and/or rebate scheme(s) for other alternative clean and sustainable power supply systems.
5. The development of Government funding support (at all levels) for sustainable living education programs for individuals and families.
6. Improved and affordable family oriented local and national public transport, funded by all levels of Government, which remain in the hands of the people of our nation.
7. Adequate Government funding (from all levels) for the maintenance and upkeep of our existing public transport systems and infrastructures. 
8. No further privatisation of our existing rail systems and publicly owned transport infrastructures.

We also request that taxes currently spent on scientific research into polluting, toxic and CO2 producing industries be re-channeled into scientific research leading to the rapid and immediate development of CLEAN, NON-POLLUTING, SAFE and SUSTAINABLE energy production methods and living systems.

We thank you for your attention

Our research and development team has invented an automobile like no other the world has ever known. Our automobile has no internal combustion engine and is powered by electrostatic Propulsion. We can reduce all emissions to zero with our power source. We have tried several investor groups who like what they see, but are afraid to challange the oil and auto industry. Government will not help, so who do we go too. This is the remedy of cutting our co2 emissions by 70%. Some one please help us move forward in the production of these automobiles as they are more comfortable and can reach speeds of up too 200 mph.

Will this be the generation that allowed climate change to destroy our planets, and the beautiful plants and animals that live here? Will this be the generation that destroys itself? That stands back and allows coal and nuclear power to wreck our planet? Let's not be that generation. Let's do everything we can to get truly sustainable energy technology off the ground!

The fat cats of our society today are all about money and greed, they are ignorant non caring individuals who can't give a stuff about what state the world will be in 10 years from now.. How much money can you make on earth, without an earth to live on people?! Europeans will be able to purchase the new, inexpensive "Air Car" 2008, cars that run on air!! It's true and extremely exciting. Watch those fat cats try and fight that one off our shores! http://www.theaircar.com

Our planet is at a perilous tipping point. We are responsible for creating the climate change mess through irresponsible and ignorant exploitation of our planet's resources. This MUST STOP NOW. I urge politicians over the world to act NOW to STOP CLIMATE CHANGE by implementing renewable energy policies that reverse the tend of destruction we humans have started. There will be NO future without such decisive action NOW.
