The 25x'25 Alliance released a report at the beginning of their National Summit that says in the five years between 2004 and 2009 renewable energy produced in the U.S. grew about 23%. The report, Meeting the 25x'25 Goal: A Progress Report, looks at the advances made since the alliance was formed.
The report details many accomplishments during that time, it emphasizes that more must be done and that the transition to a new energy future is even more important than ever.
"We will continue to forge a path to a cleaner, more secure and economically viable new energy future - one defined by ever-increasing amounts of domestically produced, renewable forms of energy," said Read Smith, co-chairman of the National 25x'25 Steering Committee, in a press conference Wednesday morning. "I can proudly say that a grassroots movement that started with a handful of committed people in 2004 has facilitated the discussion and provided the education to policy makers who shape the laws and rules that define the energy landscape. Policy, research and technological initiatives promoted by the 25x'25 Alliance serve our nation by boosting our economy, enhancing our national security and improving our environment."
