Keywords: sustainable energy development, energy security, electricity, fuelwood, social equity, politically unstable regions, pollutants, acid rain, air pollution, climate change, biomass, developing nations, land use, affordable energy, energy technology, energy infrastructure, natural resources, coal, oil, solar energy, energy trade, globalization, energy investments, transportation energy security
Energy production and transformations significantly influence poverty, prosperity, women's work and lifestyles, and are affected by demand from urbanization and the population. Sustainable energy development attempts to provide energy services to satisfy basic human needs without compromising future generations or the environment. In Africa, per capita energy use is one-tenth of North America's and has not grown significantly in twenty-five years. Sustainable energy development also overlaps with energy security-the need for a reliable and adequate supply of energy.

Imagine a world without war, poverty, misery, or injustice. Imagine a world of Love, Peace, Abundance, Tolerance, Freedom where all people could work together in a spirit of cooperation and not competition. Imagine a world where we could all develop the best of our potential as individuals and as a global family…  A young and spirited 93 years old man Jacques Fresco, the creator of the Venus Project,  has been working all his life to achieve these aims, dreaming a better world and working passionately to make it come true. Would you imagine if we all shared the same dream and we could all dedicate part of our lives to make it happen? Would you imagine if all the people and institutions within the Wiser Earth network worked together and spent part of our time designing our common future? This is what the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project are trying to accomplish. You are welcome to networking with us. Your ideas and suggestions will help us to realise our common dream.

 

Kind regards, David Wilson
