Founded in 1992, the Coalition promotes increased federal support for ENERGY EFFICIENCY and RENEWABLE ENERGY technologies and reduced federal support for unsafe or polluting energy resources. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Technologies for a Cleaner Tomorrow Sustainable Energy Coalition members advocate federal energy policies that will lead to a cleaner environment, safe reliable energy technologies, and a secure, prosperous future for all Americans. Avenues for Coalition activity include policy decisions on the federal budget, electric UTILITY restructuring, pollution prevention, Climate Change, and tax policies. Listen to Burl Haigwood, SEC Member (Clean Fuels Development Coalition) Member organizations of the Sustainable Energy Coalition do not support every item or issue adopted by the Coalition and generally focus on their issue area within the Coalition recommendations and policy positions. Sustainable Energy Coalition includes more than 60 members: National Governing Board Organizations DC Associate Member Organizations Non-DC Associate Member Organizations Individual Member View the complete Sustainable Energy Coalition Member Directory and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Online Directory. The SEC Web site is designed to highlight its members and educate key decision makers in government, the media and the financial community -- the benefits and opportunities in significantly utilizing energy efficiency and renewable energy to grow the global economy, stabilize energy prices and international tensions, lower GREENHOUSE GAS and regulated emissions, and reduce instability from conventional energy resources, technologies and infrastructure. Last Updated ( Tuesday, April 19, 2011 ) Introduction to SEC Factoids Written by Sustainable Energy Coalition Thursday, March 08, 2007 In summer 2005, several of the organizations that comprise the Sustainable Energy Coalition (SEC) drafted a document entitled the "Sustainable Energy Blueprint." The "Sustainable Energy Blueprint" proposes that the goals of the nation's energy policy should be to: promote energy-saving technologies in all sectors of the economy - including energy-efficient buildings, appliances, lighting, vehicles, and industrial processes as well as COGENERATION, District Energy, and FUEL CELLS; promote environmentally-responsible applications of the cross-section of RENEWABLE ENERGY technologies including BIOFUELS, BIOMASS, GEOTHERMAL, HYDROPOWER, OCEAN, SOLAR, WIND, and renewably-based hydrogen; reduce GREENHOUSE GAS emissions to a level consistent with a world-wide goal of global climate stabilization (e.g., curbing U.S. CO2 emissions by 60-80% from current levels by no later than mid-century); eliminate U.S. energy imports (i.e., Oil and Natural Gas - now 58% and 15% respectively), while reducing overall use of oil, Coal, and natural gas; and phase out the current generation of nuclear power and not construct new reactors in their place. To demonstrate that it is technically and economically feasible to realize these goals, given the necessary political support, the Sustainable Energy Coalition is compiling a series of "factoids" that are being released on an approximately weekly basis. Each "factoid" is a summary of a study on the potential of renewable energy and ENERGY EFFICIENCY produced by a governmental, business, academic, or non-profit organization. Each factoid provides a summary of the key findings of the study – often derived from the study's media-release materials or executive summary. Additional information is provided on how to obtain a copy of the full study. Neither the Sustainable Energy Coalition nor its member groups necessarily endorse the findings of specific studies. Rather, they are presented as analyses that suggest the general feasibility of realizing the above-listed five goals. Read all Sustainable Energy Coalition Factoids.

Biodiesel Fuel Biomass NHA News Solar News Renewable Energy News The Flexible Fuel Vehicle Club of America is a web-based, membership driven, new community-of-interest. It is a consumer/users group. The Flexible Fuel Vehicle Club of America mission is very focused -- FFV owner awareness and increased E85 utilization. Our objective is to locate and educate the existing and new FFV owners, and then motivate them to continue to use higher blends of ethanol.

Key Climate Facts On August 14, 2006, Dr. James E. Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies testified in the case of the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers et. al. v. the Secretary of Vermont, Agency of Natural Resources et. al. with regard to climate change. A number of Hansen’s key points are summarized here.

Geothermal Reports A Guide to Geothermal Energy & The Environment (Updated April 2007) MIT Report - The Future of Geothermal Energy: The Impact of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) on the United States in the 21st Century (1/24/07) A comprehensive new MIT-led study of the potential for geothermal energy within the United States has found that mining the huge amounts of heat that reside as stored thermal energy in the Earth's hard rock crust could supply a substantial portion of the electricity the United States will need in the future, probably at competitive prices and with minimal environmental impact.
