Leading by Example: How We Can Inspire an Energy and Security Revolution
Leading by Example How We Can Inspire an Energy and Security Revolution Author:Bill Richardson Democratic Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico has served as Secretary of Energy and Ambassador to the United Nations. Now, as the only candidate with executive and foreign policy experience, he presents an integrated, comprehensive program to radically and quickly reduce America’s oil dependence, create long-term energy security for th... more »e United States, and protect the world’s climate. Richardson decided to write Leading By Example because other elected officials, diplomats, pundits, and industry leaders are proposing stopgap measures. Congress and the White House are taking baby steps for a nation that needs – and wants – giant progress on energy and climate. In Leading By Example, Richardson argues that the U.S. must act boldly and it must act now – and then he provides the detailed program needed to achieve energy security and climate protection, as well as to restore America’s international leadership. Richardson issues a call to action for Congress, the energy industry, and the public. He calls for a new American revolution – an energy and climate revolution. Likening the nation’s energy challenge to those that unified Americans to win World War II and to put a man on the moon, Richardson says that the energy policy stagnation of the past 20 years is a challenge whose solutions will inspire optimism, new technologies, and a measure of sacrifice among the American people.« less
