Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

• The more robustly and efficiently a cross-country interconnection of electrical power grids is accomplished, the faster Canada can move from a petroleum-based economy to one using carbon-free electricity;
• Making carbon-free power readily available across the country would allow switching to net-zero technology for hyperloop transportation systems, electric vehicles, and other devices and systems that currently rely heavily on petroleum;
• Facilitating the interconnection of power grids across the country, and facilitating the routing of emissions-free or net-zero power to a cross-country electrical storage systems, would help route clean electric power efficiently throughout Canada;
• A cross-country electrical creation and storage network would build capacity for individuals to generate electricity and to share the power over and above that which is needed for their own use;
• There exists already a diverse array of technology to support emissions-free or net-zero power creation, including solar panels, concentrating solar power, Stirling engines, small hydro turbines, floating stratosphere wind turbines, and tidal power; and
• There are proven electrical storage capacity systems available, including pumped hydroelectric storage systems, compressed air energy storage, molten salt thermal storage, redox flow batteries, conventional rechargeable battery, non-lithium batteries, lithium batteries, thermal storage, and flywheels.
