“We have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil” – President George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, Jan. 31, 2006

“Americans have always pulled together during tough times to accomplish great missions. We can do it again. This time we need a moonshot for energy independence and good jobs. A crash program for sustainable energy independence would create three million good jobs, free the nation from imported oil, and promote a healthier environment. States and cities are leading the way toward a clean energy future. Now, the time has come for our nation to take up the challenge.”

-from the website for the Apollo Alliance

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy announced a bold mission: put a man on the moon within the decade. This ambitious goal became the Apollo program and on July 21, 1969 the Apollo 11 mission accomplished the late President’s goal: Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon.

In the spirit of the Apollo program, the Apollo Alliance was born. This group adovcates energy interdependence and the multitude of benefits of alternative energy. While this group focuses on the United States, their work and research is beneficial to the entire world.

The Apollo Alliance is just one example of many groups that are pushing for alternative energy. I feel that an important aspect of this blog should be not just “What?” and “How?”, but the “Why?” aspects of alternative energy.

I decided to highlight the Apollo Alliance as an introduction to the benefits of alternative energy and also introduce myself as a contributer to this blog.

Who is the person behind this entry? My name is Tim Roth and I have the honor of writing for my friend Erik’s blog about alternative energy. I’m the author of the political blog Think Anew and Act Anew. While I’m fairly liberal, I promise that my articles will be non-partisan. I’m not here to grind any political axes because this is issue is far too important. I hope to use my political knowledge to explain why we need alternative energy. My articles will range from foreign policy to the meetings of your local city council.
