I would gladly sign this and other petitions of the same ilk but I just don't trust the detail that is asked for to the web. What's to be done?

[Don Pablo de la Sierra]

Sadly, I agree with Vernon as I receive far to many spams, phishings, and just unwanted junk email.

[RETEPHSLAW]

Done anyway, despite the risk of spam etc.

[Gixxerboy]

Signed.

[G. Watkins]

Done, plus my wife.
Recognise several names that are regular commentators here.
700+ but need 7m. to make even a dent in our political masters.
Maybe Richard North is on the right track.

[Gixxerboy]

Have y'all put it up on Facebook and emailed your contacts as well? Please do.

Done - I also added the comment that, like the Home Office and the UK Border Agency, these things are 'Not fit for purpose'...
The purpose, lest anyone loses sight of it, is to generate electricity, at or near the installed capacity, twentyfour hours a day, sevn days a week.
They don't even come close...

The petition contains an allusion to "irrefutable international scientific evidence of the flawed technology"
That's going to need some reference. I don't see a way of contacting the petion organisers though.

Fair comment. But you can weigh the two generation technologies without references and still come to the same conclusion:

- High energy density fossil/nuclear = high capacity; despatchable = baseload/load following/peak capable

- Low energy density (renewables) = low/median capacity, intermittent, variable, unpredictable = not despatchable = not baseload/load following/peak capable

- Low energy density = high cost/kWh and high land area use
