The future of our nation and our planet requires us to stop repeating the mistakes of the past. Instead, we need an energy campaign on the same level as the “Marshall Plan” and the ‘New Deal’ that mounts an international campaign to break our oil dependency cold-turkey and deploys cleaner energy sources in it’s place.
