This was forwarded to us by Frank Paine:
The following petition was launched to the White House web site last weekend:
Increase spending on Hydrogen Plasma/Fusion Energy Research by $100 Billion over ten years
Please sign the Petition and forward links to the petition in social media. Fusion energy has greater potential than all fossil fuels, nuclear fission and renewable energies combined. This petition was submitted to the White House web site because we have not made significant investments in advanced energy research for decades. This petition is a lightning rod for the fundamental failings of the conservative movement. Now is the time to make a larger investment in new energy research for the following reasons:
It replaces fossil fuels with clean energy
It’s Pro Science & Research
It’ll create jobs in the sciences and construction
It is about the Government “Picking a winner”
It’ll increase the size of government
More information is available at FusionPetition.us. The petition is “live” for 30 days and timed to close on Earth Day. $100 Billion over ten years is too big for industry, yet can be easily achieved with government resources. This is about long-term downsizing of the carbon fuel colossus for good. The result will benefit mankind for generations.
