ch: Our Values in Action

Read This: Clean Energy Solutions

The Apollo Alliance, a non-partisan group devoted to freedom from foreign oil through clean-energy solutions, just issued a report documenting “dozens of existing state-level policies that could be combined to provide a blueprint to end our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, promote clean fuels and create millions of good jobs.”

For example:

• In Washington state, the Apollo Alliance helped to pass an energy efficiency bill that will save tax payers $489 million over fourteen years and conserve enough electricity to power over 90,000 homes by the year 2020.
• In California, with the backing of the Apollo Alliance, the California Public Utilities Commission committed $3.2 billion for solar power over the next eleven years. The initiative will install 3,000 Megawatts of solar power in the state, which is the equivalent of one million roofs.
