We have the energy now to construct a 100% sustainable infrastructure, but that energy will soon be all used up. What we need promptly, but with due and thorough consideration, is the research required to solve 100% of those energy needs, from now until life ceases on Earth. That is no small requirement when we consider both energy's current rate of consumption, and its projected rate of increase, despite the inevitable exhaustion and climatic costs of burning fossil fuels! I have considered resolutions to these problems, visible on my websites at http://greenmillennium.eu/details.aspx and www.greenmillennium.net that propose the application of current technologies on a far more consistant and logical scale that also considers the linked issues of energy conservation, food production and transportation without oil in ways whose goal is to reach 100% sustainable energy production as rapidly as possible! My solutions also bear in mind the imperative of creating greater employment in green-collar and all-collar jobs, again 100% sustainably! Please have a look at what I am proposing for the future of America, and for export markets around the world, and consider what the benefits are for projects that are well outlined and ready for further intensive research, while we still have the time and the energy to successfully complete all the stages required to keep our great great grandchildren alive and prospering! Thank you very much for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you! Yours sincerely, Kim Gyr Dear Sirs:

A good sign that he also understands the importance of climate change communication.
