Ingenious solutions are sometimes discovered in plain sight. A comprehensive national policy to utilize America's energy sources, innovative spirit and desire to protect our environment is hereby awaiting discovery in the midst of the the American people.
Within one week of going public (10/7/08) with our non-profit organization named CEP (Citizens Energy Plan), 13 businesses and/or organizations agreed to sponsor CEP officially and financially. Please review the list of Sponsors at the Sponsor tab. Thank you to the 60 or so of you who came from throughout the state of Minnesota to our first public meeting on 10/7. As leaders from the various energy entities, environmental groups and businesses, you gave us the necessary “lift” to move forward.
The Executive Board of the Citizens Energy Plan had frequent meetings the last week to form our non-profit corporation, connecting with our generous and visionary members/sponsors and constructing our website. We thank our early supporters for their commitment and foresight as we jointly take on this awesome endeavor for current and future generations. We invite and encourage you to visit our member/sponsor page to join in a bipartisan and “multienergerial” approach. We are moving forward with momentum and will with your help create a better future. Be sure to tell everyone you know about us and encourage them to join as well.
We will schedule a Town Hall Meeting in the coming weeks when the roll-out strategy is competed. Please review this web site periodically for further announcements.
While we face real environmental and climate changes coupled with increasing energy demand from a more populated world, we can also see tremendous opportunities for our nation. We should not settle for just becoming energy independent, but rather focus on how these United States of America can continue to lead by allowing our free people to create technological, environmental and “multienergerial” solutions for a world that is searching for answers. To remain a global leader, we must first remain a free people and a nation that is economically strong. We have set a goal of driving the Citizens Comprehensive National Energy Policy into law in the Fall of 2009. The time is now.
Plans are underway to hold an Energy Summit in early 2009. We are still working out the details of when and where it will take place along with pinning down some very empowering speakers. Check our website often to keep yourself posted on the latest developments.
May God Bless America…the land of the free and the home of the BRAVE!
