Today the New Apollo Energy Project is poised to revolutionise the production of energy and thereby save our planet. The nation that built the world’s most powerful rockets, its most advanced computers, and its most sophisticated life support systems is ready to create the world’s most powerful solar energy systems, its most advanced wind energy turbines, and its most sophisticated hybrid cars. Learn how the new energy economy will grow, the research that is required, and the legislation that must be passed to make the vision a reality.
