Breakthrough Blog's week-long Special Issue puts the spotlight on potential new American energy sources. By plugging in to new, clean energy sources we can re-charge our economy, secure our energy future and win true energy freedom.
The time is now for a sustained national effort to make clean energy sources a reality. Transforming our nation's entire energy economy will require a level of expertise, innovation, and generational effort unlike any before, and it will take a lifetime to achieve.

Why do we need new American energy?
The United States is in energy crisis. Energy prices are rapidly escalating, foreign energy dependency is increasing, and global warming continues unabated.

The key to solving these crises is the rapid development and deployment of new affordable clean energy technologies and infrastructure.
