Social Development and Justice

(energy efficient homes, transport and jobs)

Living in the current "Triple crunch" era - this "perfect storm" combination of wrong financial policies chaos, energy shortage and poverty and climate change disasters - for low-income families is the most difficult ! Frankly speaking about Social Justice of any time, but especially of Today, this means "take from the rich and give it to the poor" - in most suitable and adequate way & form & amount.

Having in mind that Climate Change is most associated with energy -  Fossil fuels are an unrepeatable windfall from Nature – Yet the majority of Governments have so far failed adequately to take advantage of their income from oil, natural gas, coal and uranium, just to prepare for the low-Carbon future - a very near future!

A Fossils Legacy Fund could and should be created, paid for primarily by this windfall Taxation on all Fossils profits - just before the Nature reserves are completely exhausted! Introducing this Tax would be quite a significant founding source, mainly to facilitate the urgent market penetration of all New and Renewable sources of energy! And than, providing the Society with the much needed reliable, affordable and secured energy - this really would be Sustainable Global Social Justice, at peace with the Environment!

Everything springs and will always spring from Energy Efficiency–we all have an ocean of electricity and heating profligacy to mine in all our countries! But if we “have” energy efficient homes, transport and jobs (the perfect built Environment), at the same time we are contributing to the utmost degree to the Climate changes mitigation!
