Thank you to Mr. Sachs and The Earth Institute, Columbia University, all the NGO’s and others. We all share this planet and each of us in the “richer” countries must help our “leaders” realize the Un Millennium Project is our human goal towards ending poverty and too much suffering. I hope the summit went well, and will be reading the MDG monitor. Good luck and keep up the good work.

We are commercializing the conversion matter into Mirror Energy according mass times the speed of light squared or Einstein’s equation, E = mc2. Mirror Energy could supply the world’s energy needs for billions of years.

Fossil power plants can be upgrade to make them three times more efficient. If 100 fossil power plants were upgrade, they could supply 20 percent of United States electricity, reduce greenhouse gases by 14 percent or a billion metric tons, and create millions of jobs. The billion of tons of coal and billions of barrels of oil could be used for making billions of dollars of new products rather than burning them and polluting the World’s environment.

However, the real benefits will come from taking billions of people out of poverty, providing them a World-Class education, and empowering them to live out their dreams.

Do you think the United Nations would be interested?

Keep up the awesome work.

Sincerely,

Norm Hansen
