Ike+-+Hydrogen

James Provenzano the president of Clean Air Now, explains the following in his 2007 book, the Hydrogen Age Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation on Economic Trends and advisor to heads of state and government officials “The Hydrogen Economy” 2002 Pg 163 “Is Hydrogen Perfect…of nature’s design” Observation One is Inherency: First, despite efforts to increase alternative energy incentives, Republicans continue to block alternative energy in favor of the pipe dream of more oil. The New York Times Explains in February 28, 2008 “The House on…oil and gas.” Oil companies controlling the R & D for hydrogen have no incentive to produce technology because of record oil prices, rising demand and the subsequent profits Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 35 “ExxonMobil is hardly…have actually fallen” In order to solve for this failure to promote and sustain hydrogen technology, we offer the following plan: The United States federal government will substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the United States by implementing HR H.R. 5746 the Hydrogen Tax Incentives Act of 2008 Advantage One is Oil Collapse First, transportation energy is 95% carbon based and demand is projecting to grow over 1.3 billion barrels by 2020 Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 27 “Worldwide, something like…same accelerated pace.” Secondly, this problem is exacerbated because world oil production has reached Hubbert’s peak – we are headed down a slippery slope towad collapse Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 35-36 “Quite Simply, the…of unsavory consequences” Third, this collapse will lead to the collapse of civilization as we know it – our economy, agriculture and very way of lie will come to a shrieking halt. Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation on Economic Trends and advisor to heads of state and government officials “The Hydrogen Economy” 2002 Pg 163 “It is understandable…to an end” Finally, now is the key time to invest in and implement the hydrogen economy, freeing the world form oil dependence. Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 315 “The transition away…the process evolves” Advantage Two: Terrorism First, US dependence on oil assures that terrorism against the United States will increase and US security will worsen. David Sandelow, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, “Rising Oil Prices, Declining National Security, July 2005 “The United States…to our destruction.” Secondly, the threat of nuclear terrorism is real demanding efforts to reduce the risk of an event. BBC Worldwide Monitoring, June 24, 2008 “The use of components…head into sand” Finally, Hydrogen fuel provides and adequate and accessible replacement for fossil fuels, reversing our dependence. Market News Publishing April 22 2008 The Hydrogen Economy – Resoling the Energy Crisis” Market News Publishing “The development of new…conventional energy reserves” Our Second advantage is energy security Securing fossil fuels creates a power game placing the world on the brink of a third world war Kulantzick, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace April 27 2008 Joshua the Boston Globe Secondly, securing energy will lead to a decade long resource war killing half the world’s population and ushering in a global depression. Loyd’s List, October 12 2007 “The looming fear is…worries me most” Finally, government promoted hydrogen technology provides the only feasible long term fix to escape the US reliance on oil consumption, Schwartz and Randall, former futurist for Shell Oil in 2003, Peter and Doug, Wired Magazine April “There’s only one way to…can solve them” Advantage Four in Global Warming First, fossil fuel consumption sends over 30 billion tons of C)2 into the atmosphere annually leading to unparalleled global warming Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 59  “CO2 molecules tend…10 million years”  Second, warming threatens the world population  Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 35  Hydrogen solves  Pilltion  Observation 2: Solvency  The hydrogen Tax Incentive Act of 2008 provides 30% tax credits on production and purchase of technology and fuel would create critical impetus for hydrogen transition  Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 317  “Prospects are also…the national level”  Empirically, hydrogen transition will be dependent on government support. Provenzano 2007, James President of Clean Aid Now and Geoffery Holland, The Hydrogen Age: Empowering a Clean-Energy Future Pg 35 “On issues that affect all…and direct financial support” Finally, hydrogen transition will require public institutions to lead and guide commercial enterprises assuring legitimacy and longevity of efforts Jeremy Rifkin, President of the Foundation on Economic Trends and advisor to heads of state and government officials “The Hydrogen Economy” 2002 Pg 11 “Whether hydrogen becomes…new energy regime.”

Advantage 1: Oil Dependency oil peaked end of all life now key to change x7

Terrorism oil = tism and hurts security x8 threat = real x hydrogen decrease dependence x8

Advantage 2: Resource Wars WW3 over fossil fuels x8 Hydrogen solves world consumption x7

Advantage 3: Global Warming FF=> GW threatens world pop x2 hydrogen solves pilltion x

Solvency tax credit -> hydrogen tax credit key to govt support legitimacy cooperation

__@ Novice States v. DCD__ pass a bill for hydrogen fuel incentives-30% increase Advantages= G.W., ocean rise, nuke war-extinction, terrorism Other: hubberts peak, 3rd world war, collapse of civ.
