The organisation based in North Carolina says that a world war and the very real possibility of life-and-death brought society together in the past, and suggests that the current economic/energy situation is equally monumental. “It is the equivalent to WWIII, but our enemy is not one another. The true opposition is the division that paralyses our progress towards a clean environment,” it says.
State of emergency
Unifying Truth Project is rallying for an executive order to declare the US’s energy situation a state of emergency. The primary objective of this rally is to push the President to direct the Pentagon towards organising a "war for green energy." This massive project would be dedicated to building and installing enough renewable energy technology to supply the power needs of the US by 21 December 2012. “Committing to green energy is the single best thing we can do for our economy and environment. This critical undertaking will solve our energy, unemployment, and pollution problems simultaneously,” says Unifying Truth Project.
Xavier Moutoux, Founder of Unifying Truth Project, explains that: “We already possess the technology to convert to clean energy and do not need the motivation of war or economic depression to make sustainable advancements. If we can work together in wartime to manufacture ships and airplanes, we can cooperate in peacetime to build a clean energy system even more efficiently and quickly”.
Moutoux believes that the US is capable of building a new power grid and clean energy system that will pay for itself in a few years while producing abundant, safe, and nearly free electrical power. A myriad of new jobs will be created by this endeavour, answering the US unemployment crisis. “Acquiring, harvesting, and burning fossil fuels and storing nuclear waste brings more trouble and cost than it's worth,” says Moutoux. “There is no shortage of energy. The sun’s rays, the earth’s heat, flowing water and blowing wind give us an inexhaustible source of energy."
The root of the current energy crisis – claims the organisation – is the divide among stakeholders about what to do. “The crises we face will only be remedied when people come together and we need to recognise our commonalities and work with them. Continued division will have devastating consequences, including a ravaged ecosystem and an uninhabitable earth,” it says. “The environment is something that affects us all. Putting this off any longer would be a grave mistake. A transformation will surge when we face the reality of our condition and unite to overcome it. Instead of wasting time and resources, we must utilize what has been given to us for free and work towards a common goal”.
