Requesting your Endorsement for the GENI Initiative

Dear Sir,

Energy is once again a premier issue of our planet -- the spiking costs to consumers and producers, the emissions into our environment and the impact on the global economy. For the past decade, the Global Energy Network Institute has built a credible case for a long-term strategy: the interconnection of electric power grids between nations that link local and regional renewable energy resources.

Regional grids are expanding in China, Latin America, the Middle East and West Africa. Today, solar and windpower are the fastest growing energy sectors, at 20% - 40% respectively. The GENI Initiative is honored with strong endorsements from Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Walter Cronkite, Desmond Tutu, Ragendra Pachauri, Vicente Fox and many other statesmen. They support this global strategy for peace and sustainable development. We invite you to consider the proven benefits for humanity and the planet:

• increase living standards
• reduce the cost of electricity
• reduce pollution from fossil fuel and nuclear generation
• reduce poverty and hunger around the world
• stabilize population growth
• promote international trade, cooperation and peace

Simply stated, the premier strategy is a world wide web of electricity, tapping abundant renewable energy resources around the world. This is the "highest priority objective" from the World Game^TM simulation, designed by the visionary engineer Dr. R Buckminster Fuller. Using a Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science approach, these long-range planners asked this fundamental question:

"How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?"

{Salutation?}, we believe this strategy is vital for the 1.6 billion people with no electricity. They struggle daily just to meet their basic survival needs. This strategy is critical for the world's largest polluters: the United States, China, India and Russia. We seek your partnership in this work. Please review the enclosures: then, would you consider writing your endorsement for this initiative? It would make a real difference.

In partnership for the planet,

Peter Meisen

President
