Representative Jay Inslee sent me a letter regarding The New Apollo Energy Program. Given that I suggested to him that we needed to embark on an Apollo scale national program of energy independence and sustainability, I am happy that a bill was drafted utilizing the concept in the name, unfortunately it didn’t utilize the concept in the content.

Apollo was a national program that took us from barely achieving manned space flight to landing on the moon and returning in eight years.

The New Apollo Energy Program does essentially nothing over the next 13 years. This is not acceptable.

See the letter and my point to point response to it in our Future Forum here:
