Repower America with Solar Energy

Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – 10:10 am -

http://www.RepowerAmerica.org

Studies show that the resource potential of solar energy is so vast that a parcel of land in the Southwest, 96 miles on a side, could power Americas entire electricity system.

Join the campaign and help make it happen.

Before a joint session of Congress last week, President Obama expressed strong support for growing our
economy by repowering America, calling for American leadership and innovation in clean energy technologies
and for a national energy policy that shifts emphasis away from the dirty fuels of the 20th century.

We invented solar technology, but weve fallen behind countries like Germany and Japan in producing it,
President Obama said. It is time for America to lead again.

Call on your elected officials to lead again, join the Repower America campaign.
