Review by Marty Ulrich

         In my previous review, I revealed that we currently have the technology capable of releasing our dependence on foreign oil and domestic coal. Winning Our Energy Independence covers the step that needs to be taken to make the goal of 100 percent renewable energy a reality. Yes, you read correctly — you are not going blind — I meant one hundred percent domestic, renewable energy for our homes and our vehicles. Of course, this opportunity is not without major challenges and criticism from interests of the status quo.
         Our current leaders are acting hesitantly towards renewable energy programs. The book points out that federal mandates will be required to make America green. If left to market forces, oil and coal will continue to dominate well beyond the point of no return.
         There is much work to be done, but these changes can take place over a few decades. One example is that we need to set a goal of doubling our fuel economy requirements over the next 24 years (one mile per gallon per year). Other changes include tax credits and federal funding for renewable energy power plants and decentralized power from people’s homes and businesses. The plug-in hybrid vehicle needs to be introduced into the marketplace.
         So at this point, there is little use in taking personal action, short of spending thousands of dollars on your own renewable energy sources. This is the part where the people need to unite and rebuild our nation. Write to Congress and the Senate, urging them to focus on renewable energy. Protest any federal funding for counter-productive programs such as the “clean coal” movement — there is absolutely no such thing as clean coal. Push local communities to shut down nuclear power plants and outlaw the storage of radioactive waste.
         Unemployment is the highest it has been in decades. There are millions of people waiting to work. The recent stimulus package passed by Congress is a big step in the right direction. It will put people to work on the new required infrastructure for an energy independent nation. Be sure to check this book out for a much more detailed description of what exactly must be done to make this dream come true.
