a new Declaration of Independence
On July 4th, 1776 our great nation declared Independence from England, this day marked a significant shift in world history. One of the most famous phrases in the Declaration of Independence was “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, which is a phrase honored by many countries around the world.
To this day Americans, continue to protect to live life protecting the values set by the founding fathers, “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Although today we face another challenge that can disrupt the way we enjoy our freedom.
When gas prices go up, people start to cut back on the things they enjoy to do, they cut back on their freedom. Energy has a python like grip around our lifestyle, we make adjustments in our lives based on the cost of energy. Wouldn’t you agree the people who supply our energy are controlling our freedom?
Today, we aren’t fighting for freedom from England but we’re fighting multinational corporations for Energy Independence. Let’s face it, as a country we’re addicted to energy and we depend on the hand that feeds us energy everyday. It’s time we write a ” Declaration of Energy Independence“, a vision that preserves our right to purse Life, Liberty and Happiness by empowering you to control your own energy destiny through solar energy, wind power and renewable fuels.
Happy 4th of July!
