http://www.cleanpeace.org Wed, 31 Oct 2007 012:20:42 -0500 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 012:20:42 -0500 CleanPeace.org's mission is to assist you to take back and focus energy policy on replacing depletable oil, gas, and nuclear fuels with conservation, efficiency and true renewable energy as rapidly as possible. You, your friends, neighbors, and others are the only ones who can do it; the Washington energy lobby will not do it for us! Cleanpeace will help with policy guidance, technical assistance and networking. Cleanpeace's Declaration is designed to bring people together on a neighborhood, Congressional and legislative district level so they can effectively take back our energy future. Please sign the Declaration of Energy Independence, Security and Sustainability at www.cleanpeace.org to reduce dependence on oil, fight global warming, peak oil, pollution and rising international violence. Cleanpeace.org will help you. http://www.cleanpeace.org http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 The oil and energy lobbyists have the attention of your congressperson and Senators in Washington --–But you can have his or her ear at home by joining with others in your neighborhood and Congressional District to effectively take back our energy future and focus it on replacing depletable fossil and radioactive fuels with conservation, efficiency and true renewable energy. Cleanpeace.org will help. Energy policies in the US and throughout the world lead to hardships, conflicts and wars over diminishing oil reserves. They cause greater air and water pollution, increase global warming and fuel costs while dangerously enhancing the powers of oil-rich dictators, nations and cartels. We, the undersigned people of the world community, declare these policies a threat to human health, global stability, democracy, human rights and Civilization. We therefore demand new energy policies based on the Four Principles of Energy Independence, Security and Sustainability set out below in abbreviated form: http://www.cleanpeace.org/bill_wei.jsp Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Oil flows slowly at first, then rapidly increases, reaches a maximum or peak when half of the oil has been extracted, and then production declines rapidly http://www.cleanpeace.org/REP_ROSCOE_G_BARTLETT.jsp Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 The theory of Peak Oil http://www.cleanpeace.org/REP_TOM_UDALL.jsp Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Shell oil confirms enough renewable energy to power the world. Shell predicts potential 2/3rds engine efficiency increase using direct cylinder injection. This year gasoline and diesel powered internal combustion engines (ICEs) in the U.S. alone will burn roughly 200 billion (not million) gallons of fuel. These engines are the world's largest consumers of oil. Demand renewable energy! Replace oil!

The American Hydrogen Association (AHA) and the American Lung Association have cooperatively operated a pickup truck that has been running well, performing efficiently, and cleaning the air by using hydrogen fuel for about 27 years. http://www.cleanpeace.org/Samuel_Bodman.jsp Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 The fuse is lit on America and world democracy; it's made of oil and burns fast threatening to send our freedoms and prosperity up in its smoke. Impending oil shortages transform oil into a Weapon of Mass Economic Disruption while America daily burns its meager cache of this weapon. But it's all unnecessary; we can come together, change Congress's oil soaked policies and create a better, cleaner, world. http://www.cleanpeace.org/blog.jsp?blog_KEY=147 Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Much has been said about direct solar energy and its offspring in winds, waves, falling water and biomass that distributes its energy in readily available forms to most regions of the world. However, little focus has been placed on how solar energy can best meet the needs of prosperity, humanity, the environment and energy security. http://www.worldenergybill.org/Issue_Briefs/Solar_Energy.html Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 America's freedom, security, and hopes for prosperity are being burned by raging oil fires in our cars, factories and farms; we fan them 24 hours a day and it's all unnecessary. Our engines, furnaces, and industry could be stilled and our freedoms and democracy lost, if we fail to replace oil fires with America's Abundant Clean Energy. It's here for the taking. http://www.cleanpeace.org/blog.jsp?blog_KEY=148 Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Energy market changes give lobbyists the opportunity to demand Congressional support for explosive growth of radioactive nuclear energy. Peak Oil and the pace of global warming threaten America's economy and world civilizations. Peak Oil limits the amount of cheap oil the world can extract and global-warming demands reduced greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning. Will nuclear power fill the oil gap? Is there a practical replacement? There are two candidates: http://www.cleanpeace.org/blog.jsp?blog_KEY=134 Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500 Changes in oil markets are creating an internatinal oil plutocracy with with Middle East oil dictators at the top. Is this power shift a threat to Israel’s existence and democracy in Palestine? Could Congress change this trend? Four points: http://www.cleanpeace.org/blog.jsp?blog_KEY=130 Thu, 20 Apr 06 20:37:13 -0500
