Why this petition matters

Started by lee ang

Recent earthquake activities has made some researchers pondering the cause. Maybe  mother earth just don’t like to be drilled or pinched!

A good sized community has linked the quakes  to mining activities for energy and metals.    There has been quite  a bit of avail. research  on the web- see links below.

a very important piece of research by the very big oil driller Schlumberger- pls download the pdf file and read

Some may still argue that the statistical evidence is not significant enough to link the cause. However, why should we take that risk of letting it happen?  If we are already shouldering the responsibility of global warming, shouldn’t we be more urgently concern with this danger,- which seems to show strong evidence, and is more urgent and imminent?

We need a petition to form a plan to phase out ALL drilling activities over the next few yrs! Yes, not an error , next few yrs, not 20 yrs or 50.   And we need a plan to heavily invest in solar and wind energy alternatives since they are safe,  to satisfy global energy demand to prevent the world economies  from collapsing into a energy inflation crisis scenarios where people die of hunger  and all economic activities come to a standstill.   Even on a strict conservation  energy plan for the consumer, the global energy usage is still huge with emerging markets such as India and china growing rapidly each day.

As for Metals substitute, there is already tons of research out there on using hemp, rubber, bamboo,and host of other tree-based alternatives to minimize  or eliminate the usage of metals/minerals.  More planning and investments should be quickly organized and deployed.  Metals for consturuction can be eliminated as we san restrict high rise buidlings.  In cars, it could be minimized with other composite. So whats left is piping and communication linkage and  conductivity  that can be researched.
