    WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DEMAND

Upon the Creation of this initial One Trillion Dollar Fund, that every American Household be given a cash voucher, payable in the new United States Dollar, in the amount of $20,000 for the purchase of a new energy efficient home, or the re-fitting of an existing property to an energy efficient standard, and a $10,000 cash voucher to the head of every American Household for the purchase of a hybrid electric or natural gas powered car to be made in America. The SBA shall be instructed to issue a $100,000 Zero Interest, Zero Down Loan payable in the United States Dollar, and repayable over the next 10 years in those same United States Dollars, for the opening of any business related to alternative energy, gas powered and/or hybrid electric cars, or any other worthy business whose sole focus will be to create alternative energy, conserve energy, or to create a new energy related invention. Regional Transportation Authorities owned by We The People will be created and instructed to build rapid transit in concentric circles around the 100 largest cities in the America funded by newly the newly created fiat money.

    excellent. Grid infrastructure is taken for granted and is a very serious issue that needs not only a champoin but requires federal support, from the respected people that can correct it. Please also check this out vimeo.com/1589698 its a baseload solution for windpower.

    As Franco-American, I wanted also to thank you for taking the time to listen to research the best possible solution for this project to be heard.. I therefore send you the information concerning THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW GENERATION OF AIRSHIPS which be able to change the vision of the transportation in the world..

    SEE LINK facebook.com/photo.php?pid=572835&l=e5c07&id=685847711 AND OTHER PAGES

    In fact this project is today, A NEW RESPONSE, economic and environmental, for the transport of heavy loads, dangerous goods, SUPPORT FOR HUMANITARIAN RELIEF, etc..., but also A NEW SOLUTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CITY...

    Transport is also a crucial and dynamic sector of the worldwide economy, it generates millions of jobs, provides for the delivery of our daily needs and takes us to our holiday destinations ... Today, more still needs to be done. That is why we want to promote this new type of transport which is competitive, high quality, safe and sustainable. We are convinced that our societies can only tackle the today's challenges, by working on a worldwide scale, and we must, therefore, strive to communicate and explain to all citizens the importance of transport policy and its impact on our lives.

    If you have perhaps seen the airship of the international society SkyHook in the skies of London (treehugger.com/files/2008/07/airship-tours-london.php), I wanted to clarify that this type of airship (called a "blimp"), is nothing new and there are several projects like this in the world today.. All these projects are, believe me, projects that do not bear the slightest gust of wind, and, unfortunately, are investing money for nothing..

    Our project will not solve all the solutions of transport of heavy loads and security in the world, but I can assure you that this new generation of airships will contribute greatly...

    As a Council on Sustainable Development, we know that we must rapidly wean our dependence on coal and fossil fuels, and that the transportation industry must be at the forefront of a strategic development and sustainable businesses..

    For services comparable to those provided by aircraft, these airships:

    - will be 6 to 10 times cheaper operational costs
    - consume 6 TIMES LESS FUEL
    - reject in the air LEAST 10 TIMES OF C02

    The TEAM of more than 50 people from different backgrounds (Thales, Alcatel, EADS-ARIANE, ENSEA ..), consists of the best world specialists in the field... They all have a global experience of carrying out major projects and effects of leverage on industrial programmes, guaranteeing the security necessary for this type of project, in line of the expectations of shareholders.

    The Holding is therefore going to occur, BUT STILL OPEN TO OTHER INVESTORS.. That is why I would also send you, attached, an explanation of the various possible applications, in order to be able to make an appointment with your services and TO SEE TOGETHER THE POSSIBILITIES OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTRY..

    Do not hesitate to call me at 33 (0) 6 74 41 25 94 to arrange an appointment and bring you all the explanations of this project. Open to all proposals, I thank you for your attention..

    Cordially
