Over the course of the entire Energy Bill 2007 engagement and outreach campaign, we have publisted a variety of content, all of which can be accessed conveniently below. Enjoy and please don't forget to sign the Energy Bill 2007 petition while you're at it!

By raising fuel efficiency standards to 35 miles per gallon and switching to solar, wind and other renewable fuels to provide 15% of our electricity, Congress will retain and create jobs, spark economic growth, save consumers money, cut pollution, succeed in making America more energy independent, and make real progress in reducing carbon emissions that are warming the Earth. Please sign a petition that will let your congressmen, congresswomen, and senators know how much you want the USA to embrace a more aggressive energy bill in 2007.

I wanted to pass you the following press release, http://smnr.us/35mpgby2020, that highlights the fact that it is primarily the auto industry PACs and lobbies that are torpedoing an aggressive Energy Bill and not the members of the auto industry -- the auto workers and dealers. This campaign is called the "The Auto Lobby Doesn’t Speak For Us" campaign and is based over at http://www.35mpgby2020.com.

I wanted to let you know what's going on with the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) part of the aggressive "Energy Bill 2007" that my consortium and I are trying to into law. I have been focusing on CAFE Standards, 35 mpg by 2020, but there is also a renewable energy component that would increase the proportion of solar, wind, and others, to 15% by 2020.

This Fall there will be an important Energy Bill up for vote by Congress, a Bill that will take relatively aggressive steps towards reducing our reliance on foreign oil and foreign governments while increasing our dependence on renewable energy, such as wind power and solar power. Please sign the petition to help give your member of Congress a little incentive to pass the more aggressive version of the Energy Bill legislation, undiluted by the auto or the oil industry and their lobbyists.
