To Effectively Demand Renewable Energy, Read and Sign Declaration Below!
Declaration of World Energy Independence, Energy Security and Sustainability
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.
Principle One
Make Transitioning to Renewable Energy a Strategic Objective of all Energy Policies
Focus energy policy goals on transitioning from depletable to renewable energy. Initially concentrate this policy on conserving and replacing fuel in existing gasoline and diesel engines because these engines burn over 70% of world oil. Designate hydrogen fuel made from renewable energy as the preferred replacement for gasoline and diesel oil because it emits only water and can be made from all renewable energy. Focus new or expanded electric power generation on distributed heat and power facilities designed to conserve fuel and use renewable energy.
Principle Two
Require Equal Funding Between Depletable Fossil/Nuclear Energy and Renewable Energy,
Fair Play, and Competition in Energy Markets
Require energy policies that grant subsidies, policy advantages, tax breaks, and other benefits for renewable energy that at least equal those available to depletable fossil and nuclear energy. Provide "anti-trust and technology protection" for scientists, engineers, inventors and entrepreneurs engaged in renewable energy development and commercialization.
Principle Three
Accelerate Construction of Sustainable Energy Infrastructures
Require all highway improvements funded by gasoline or diesel fuel taxes to include infrastructure development that facilitates convenient distribution of renewable fuels. Provide generous incentives to induce investment in commercialization of technologies that accelerate transition from depletable to renewable fuels
Principle Four
Provide for Peace and Prosperity in Times of Oil Shortages
To overcome violent conflicts over remaining oil resources, establish an international policy for replacing oil faster than Peak Oil can create major oil shortages. Develop a United Nations treaty to allocate future oil consumption while maintaining world prosperity. Allocate oil supplies based on each nation's record of replacing depletable energy with renewable energy, efficiency improvements, greenhouse gas reductions, and past oil consumption.
Cleanpeace.org will use the Declaration to empower you to change US energy policy. In any Congressional district with 300 or more Declaration signers, Cleanpeace.org will provide scientific, technical and policy assistance so signers can effectively work with their Congressperson or US Senators to counter the propaganda of the energy lobby in Washington. 300 or more active district residents armed with a scientifically sound message of energy change will get the attention of their elected officials and you will become effective participants in America's crucial energy debate. You can make it happen!
Cleanpeace.org will also deliver the signed Declaration, with signer's comments on it, to your Congressperson and Senators upon obtaining a significant number of Declaration signatures from your district.
