Hi Sigma! Thanks for your enthusiasm. Spurred on by your action, I just left a message at the X-prize foundation to find out who specifically we could petition there and what kind of procedure they have for considering new prizes. I’ll keep bugging them this week ’til I get an answer. When I do, it may help with strengthening the language on the petition.

Right now what you’ve got looks like a petition to petition the X-prize foundation:

To: X PRIZE Foundation

Energy is one of the most fundamental resources a developing world needs to survive, unfortunately standard alternatives to the current oil paradigm may take years to develop fully and with projected dates of 2050 for conventional hot fusion, it is too long a wait. The crisis in the middle east is one concern, as is the increasing temperature change another, we need alternative ideas that aren’t mainstream to address them as soon as possible. Therefore I propose that we create an opportunity to change that by petitioning the X-prize foundation to create a Fusion X-prize and give non-mainstream scientists and corporations a chance to get into the spotlight and make a difference!

I think ideally it should be more like a letter asking for a fusion x-prize to the foundation that is signed by all and sundry. Also, I think if we throw in a few facts, like how many fusion alternatives out there are ready to compete for the prize, how an x-prize is the perfect means of stimulating fusion, how it fits with the objectives of the x-prize and so forth, it further strengthens the petition.

Also, calling the ITER guys “conventional hot fusion” suggests that we are cold fusion. 🙂

I hope you don’t mind if we take this as a first draft and play around with it a bit before settling on a final petition.
