Article VI –
Energy and Ecology, Technology and Weaponry
6.A. – Nuclear Energy
Forbidden.
No use of nuclear energy is permitted for any reason by any city,
township, or region or continent, nor by the global agencies, and certainly not
by any association, though should so-called “cold fusion” which does not
generate radiation be made practical whether this rule applies may be
determined at the time according to the scientific facts and the judgment of
citizens worldwide after an informed debate and discussion.
6.B. – Renewable
Energy as a Material Basis for City and Township Political Self-Government and
Ecological Sustainability
Every city and township will be expected to act as quickly as possible
to shift to renewable energy sources, forms of transport, heating and cooling
and hot water etc. that are renewable and to end use of fossil fuels. Upon its
founding as a self-governing city, a first action should be to make an audit of
the possible renewable energy sources (solar, wind, water etc.) available
within the city or township’s territory, and then to establish, in cooperation
with the educational institutions, research organizations, scientific and
technological associations, and relevant cooperatives existing or which it
finds it convenient or necessary to create the necessary resources –
institutes, cooperatives etc. to develop to their fullest these resources, to
manage the full transition (solar panels, windmills, solar roadways, light rail
run by such sources, electric buses and cars and so on) to these resources.
Each city should, within a short time of a few years at most, be
expected to be near 100% self-sufficient in renewable energy, nearly
self-sufficient or the medium term and fully self-sufficient short term for its
own food needs and health care needs, linked by light rail, solar roadways and
electric vehicles to other nearby cities, linked by universal wi fi to the rest
of the world, and self-governed by citizen assemblies, as well as producing its
own currency and providing it to all of its citizens and cooperatives.
6.C. – Technology
transfers, extraordinary grants of Universal currency and obligatory year
abroad by college graduates as methods for universalizing the most advanced
renewable and sustainable methods
of energy production and conservation, transport, production, consumption,
agriculture and housing:
As made clear above in several articles, as an initial process, those
cities with a surplus of access to renewable energy technologies such as solar
power or advanced windmills etc. or advanced and sustainable transport such as
high speed solar powered trains and solar roadways are expected to make these
available in any way possible, without imposition of forced labor conditions on
their own citizens, to the poorer areas of their own region, continent, and the
world. This process will be eased by the previously described extraordinary
grants of universal currency to be spent on purchasing these technologies, and
gaining access to the skilled use of them where needed, and by the requirement
that college graduates spend a year in the opposite hemisphere to provide
needed knowledge and training and to learn from the people they live with and
work with there.
6.D. No hoarding
of weaponry, all nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction strictly banned
The same applies to the most advanced but inexpensively produced and
where possible non-lethal weaponry for collective self-defense. All nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass
destruction are banned, and the existing ones dismantled by the authorities in
the cities, townships and regions where they exist. Thus no city can be
blackmailed by threats of superior weaponry or force. All new weaponry that is
designed (and it is hoped that within a short time no new weaponry would be
developed as it would not be needed or desired and would serve no purpose) must
immediately be made available on the Internet and its successors and so made
universally accessible.
Any city or township or region found to be monopolizing technology or
armaments will be subject to all of the boycott provisions described above for
other violations and if necessary for the safety of other cities and townships
and their citizens will be considered in a state of war with all other cities,
townships and regions as an aggressor. Any individual, group or association,
including those opting out that are found to be in such violation are subject
to the same procedures as apply under conditions of enslavement or aggression
as needed.
A Civilization of Self-governed Cities and Townships can only exist if
the material conditions for such cities and their sustainability are available
