IDEA
Even the pentagon is warning
What is the state of our blue planet?
A recent Pentagon(!)-study talks about dangers never imagined:
The worldwide climate change expected to occur in the near future
may possibly lead to wars, this time for food and water and
to the migration of whole populations! An international group
of botanists and zoologists forecasted in January 2004, that
15 to 35% of the species will die out until the year 2050, the
scientific magazine "Science" expects the world population
to grow over the next years to 8 - 10 billion people - with
all the dire consequences of exploiting the world resources
even more.
Among the essential things for mankind to survive on this planet
- health, water, food, energy, air quality and a great variety
of species, there is not one which from a global viewpoint is
not in a critical condition.
The sun is global
This is the context in which Sunvention has to be seen - and
our motivation: Access for everybody to energy and a clean and
healthy environment is the key, which determines our future
welfare. Therefore we are working on the idea of a solar future
for all regions of the world assessable.We seek a new paradigm.
We are running out of time to bring economics and ecology in
sync. Technologies to harness the abundant solar energy for
mankind do already exist; though powerful factions and pressure
groups want to make us believe that environment-friendly solar
technologies can only be implemented in small doses.
They go even further: one should abandon this completely in
times of economical crisis - this environment friendly and "expensive"
technology cannot be paid for and jobs have priority.
