Welcome to World Energy Bill.org
Dedicated to
World Energy Independence and Energy Security
Today our oil-dependent economy supports over 6.4 billion people; but falling oil extraction rates and diminishing oil reserves limit earth's ability to continue adequately supporting such a large population. We must act now!
Oil-rich dictators exploit our oil dependence and support those who seek to violently extend their dictatorial politics and their social customs to freer nations.
Giant energy corporations seek Peak Profits from the shortages resulting from Peak Oil —the point at which oil demand exceeds production capacity permanently.
Pollution emitted from burning oil and other fossil fuels has long exceeded Earth's ability to safely nullify the chemicals and global warming gasses they emit.
Radioactive nuclear energy is not a safe alternative to oil. Its radioactive raw materials and wastes can easily be used to make dirty bombs and spread dangerous radioactive toxicants worldwide.—and its depletable.
Each annually earth receives more Solar Energy (14.7 x 10 18 BTU) than all the energy contained in all the oil that has ever been burned. Harvesting just one-fifteenth of one percent of this daily energy supply as hydrogen fuel could replace the 1.3 trillion gallons (4.9 trillion liters) of oil the world burns each day. But energy corporations and oil-rich nations use their overwhelming global political influence to control energy policy, stifle sustainable energy security and hobble emerging competition from Solar Energy and other Alternative Energy resources.
To offset this hijacking of public policy and obtain world energy security and energy independence as well as cleaner air, cleaner water, less global warming gas production, and reduced conflicts over oil: W e hereby Petition our governments and the United Nations to require and attain world energy security and independence based on the The Four Principles of Energy Independence, Security and Sustainability set forth below:
The Four Principles of Energy Independence, Security and Sustainability
Principle One:
Require Fair Play and Competition in Energy Markets
Adopt energy policies that provide 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.
Principle Two:
Make Transition to Renewable Energy a Strategic Objective of Energy Policy
Focus energy policies on conserving and replacing depletable energy. Prioritize this policy for conserving and replacing fuel in existing gasoline and diesel engines because these existing engines consume over 70% of world oil. Designate clean burning hydrogen fuel made from renewable energy as the preferred replacement for gasoline and diesel oil. Focus new and expanded electric power generation on distributed heat and power facilities designed to conserve fuel and use renewable energy with a preference for clean burning, renewable, hydrogen fuel.
Principle Three:
Accelerate Construction of Sustainable Energy Infrastructure
Require all highway improvements funded by 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 with a preference for renewable hydrogen fuel.
Principle Four:
Provide for Peace and Prosperity
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 based on each nation's record of replacing depletable energy with renewable energy, efficiency improvements, greenhouse gas reductions, and past oil consumption.
