Declaration of Energy Independence Public Announcement and Signing

The steering committee of the Green Collaborative, a group of over 65 organizations and businesses has come to an agreement for the Declaration of Energy Independence. This statement represents a very mainstream view of the energy and conservation issues, but it does call for much greater urgency in pursuing renewable energy sources and technology. As urgent as the need to clean up the Gulf, get our fishers, oil industry and other members of our economy and community working again, we feel this is a moment of opportunity not to be missed in urging us forward towards the true energy independence that is essential to maintaining fundamental rights upon which our founding fathers built this nation.
