Dear friends / Caros amigos In view of the fight against offshore and onshore oil and gas drilling, I have written an open letter to Elon Musk, CEO and founder of Tesla Motors and its innovating technologies. I am inviting you to co-sign my letter which I intend sending to him early in the new year. If we can convince Elon Musk to locate his new Tesla Giga Factory in Portugal, it will greatly assist all of us in our fight against oil and gas drilling. Currently we are competing with Spain (they already have a petition with over 25,000 signatures), I am of the opinion that we can do better than that. We are also competing with not only Spain, but also with France, Holland and some Eastern Block countries. Join me if you agree to the letter by co-signing your name in the petition.
