Report


"NEW ENERGY FOR AMERICA"

Reception & Forum


Jobs, Security, & Prosperity for
the 21st Century


published forum booklet - pdf

 

On July 28th, over 550 people - delegates, media, guests, sponsors and host members - attended the Coalition's "New Energy for America" Reception and Town Hall Energy Forum.

 

We gathered in the State Room overlooking Boston Harbor but the forceful, rolling panel of political, labor and environmental leaders which held our attention for two and a half hours.

 

They declared energy self-sufficiency, clean renewables, energy efficiency and conservation are America's best future. This future will create millions of new jobs, strengthen our economy, protect our families' health and safety, and free us from our nightmare dependence on foreign oil.

 

"New Energy for America" is also hope for the planet - cutting pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from dirty fossil fuel, its extraction, dangerous transport, combustion and emission of carbon gases into the atmosphere.

 

A monumental, government-led transition to New Energy is urgently needed, needed to blunt global warming and its inevitable habitat disruption, massive species extinctions, biblical storms, floods, droughts, and plagues, and carbon pollution's devastating impacts on agriculture, water, the oceans, peoples, cities, and economies.

 

With columnist Derrick Z. Jackson and senior reporter Don Gillis in attendance, the Boston Globe took note of this emergent "blue-green" alliance:

7/30/04 - The new ecological movement, Derrick Z. Jackson, Columnist. The Boston Globe.

 

7/31/04 - Unconventional Politics - Boston Globe Editorial.
