A capsule quote:

“If we had started working on the solutions to this before it became a problem, back in the 70s when it was already clear where the use of oil was heading us, we would not be having this discussion today,” writes Cindy Prince of Portland, Oregon

This should be the motivating force behind everything we do. Want to fight a war? This one doesn't kill people.


Our Mission

The Apollo Alliance is a coalition of business, labor, environmental, and community leaders working to catalyze a clean energy revolution in America to reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, cut the carbon emissions that are destabilizing our climate, and expand opportunities for American businesses and workers.

Inspired by the vision and technological achievements of the Apollo space program, we promote policies and initiatives to speed investment in clean energy technology and energy efficiency, put millions of Americans to work in a new generation of well-paid, green collar jobs, and make America a global leader in clean energy products and services.

IMHO, the really good news is that this provides a vehicle for local implementation.
