Avoid the Cost vs. Value Eclipse and Achieve New Energy Immortality

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Continuing to Demand the current energy and fuel commodities that we use to provide our Way of Life is threatening our Way of Life. Therefore we need to demand new energy and fuel commodities in order to keep our Way of Life.

We used to live in a country that manufactures products and exported the things we manufactured to the world. We need to become that type of country again and the energy situation provides that opportunity.

As Consumers, we recognize that there are energy and travel services in our lives that we have come to enjoy and expect. We know that we have a standard of living which requires skill to maintain. These commodities and systems have become institutions for us, and we do not want to take the convenience they provide for granted. These conveniences are the end values. We recognize this partial list of end values:

Partial List of End-Values

• Easy use by everyone
• Comfort
• Durability
• Adventurousness
• Productivity
• Mobility
• Liberty

Conditions are such that some of the problems related to our lifestyle could eclipse the positive value of this lifestyle. This Cost vs. Value Eclipse must be avoided for the sake of future generations. We want to allow our next generations to enjoy at least the same standard of living that we currently enjoy. We are learning that we have some decisions to make to keep our way of life. Ingenuity and determination are how we solve problems, and they are how we attained this way of life. This situation and new energy technologies provide the recipe to rebuild this economy, and solve the energy problem, simultaneously.

• The different arguments and reasons for making these changes are not as relevant as the fact that we must make the changes, for this reason this petition does not make any preferences in regards to politics; Whatever the reasons are, we all know we have to do it

Regardless of scientific evidence, it is clear that changes are in order. Whether the issue is purely human effect, part of a larger cycle, shrinking resources or a combination of factors; it is absurd and backwards to argue whether we will impact it with our decisions. Of course we will. We understand how Demand plays a key role in the direction that our energy and travel institutions take.

• Just as our decisions as providers and consumers have led to the current situation, our decisions as providers and consumers will adjust the situation.

We see the influx of new industry and new technologies to be the solution, rather than merely an increase in the cost of the current systems.

Therefore, it is not timely to condemn the energy industry and the auto industry, or to point fingers in any way. On the contrary, the energy industry and the auto industry have provided us with good service and end values (see partial list of end-values above). These industries have a level of skill that has been mastered which allows for convenience that has never been seen in history. We want to encourage them to use their skills in new ways, and to display their brilliance. As people strive toward enjoyment, improvement and happiness in general, we all share the desire to provide a better future for coming generations.

This means that if we intend to maintain our way of life and carry it forward to coming generations that there is a position of appreciation and responsibility which needs to be recognized and developed throughout the spectrum of Supply and Demand. It also means that we need to encourage the experts to apply their talents in the development of new energy industries using new technologies.

It should be understood by the service providers that any investments, new systems and economic developments will not be in vain. There is no shortage of opportunity for new investments; the demand for energy is constantly rising. Some of these new technology products are currently available, and they need to be brought into the market more assertively. There is a new generation of innovators who need to be discovered and recognized. We want our grandchildren to live in a world of plentiful energy.

We are excited about the fact that new technologies and systems will help to spur the economy. It is no secret that some of our major industries have been suffering. The process of converting delivery systems will provide many new opportunities. When these delivery systems are in place, they will provide healthy long term growth and stability.

• It is unfair and irresponsible to depend on governments to create the change. Regardless of what a person believes about the role government should play in our lives, we have to demand that new commodities are developed and used for meeting our energy needs.

Therefore, governments should strike any laws that restrict the market from providing implementation of clean energy and new technologies (these types of laws are called hotlaws) . This will take the burden off of governments. A lack of engagement by business and consumers in this regard will lead to more laws that restrict our movement and commerce. What we need is less restriction so that new energy sources and the economic development that comes with new technology will follow.

Therefore, We Agree:

• The way that we get our energy is becoming problematic for various reasons, so we are demanding new commodities and services in order to enjoy the end values we expect for generations to come. The only reason we demand so much fossil fuel, is because it is what is made available.

• Ingenuity and determination are how we solve problems, and they are how we attained this way of life, we need to begin manufacturing and exporting again. This situation and new energy technologies provide the recipe to rebuild this economy.

• Government should strike all laws that keep us from using clean energy and new technology (hotlaws).

• Appreciation and responsibility needs to be recognized and developed throughout the spectrum of Supply and Demand.

• There are economic needs that will be met with the emergence of new energy. Lateral investment by existing companies must increase for their own benefit, because we buy everything related to the established end values anyway (See partial list of end-values above).

• We recognize that our decisions have effects, and we will direct our decision making to avoid the Cost vs. Value Eclipse and achieve New Energy Immortality.
