Speak UP: What Will YOU Create? Gulf Declaration to End the Era of OIL

This disaster holds the potential
to CATALYZE one of the
GREATEST TRANSFORMATIONS
our nation has known.

It illuminates in graphic and brutal terms
what we all know in our hearts:
WE NEED TO END
THE ERA OF OIL
as the primary economic foundation
for our lives and our country.

The Gulf Declaration to End the Era of Oil

Dear President Obama, members of Congress, and elected leaders of the United States of America,

We, the undersigned, recognize your commitment to addressing the Gulf spill but ask you to go still further than you have in your approach. The people of the United States elected you to represent us, and now we ask you to galvanize our nation not only to clean up the oil and to repair the damage but to use this moment to call the American people to our next leap as a country.

This disaster holds the potential to catalyze one of the greatest transformations our nation has known. It illuminates in graphic and brutal terms what we all know in our hearts: we need to end the era of oil as the primary economic foundation for our lives and our country.

The oil economy not only harms the environment.

It props up repressive regimes.

It inflames wars and provokes violence.

Oil is overheating our planet and soiling our lives and it is time to end its reign over people, policies, and planet.

Now is the moment to make
an urgent and serious commitment
of ingenuity, time, money,
and even the soul of this country
to create affordable,
renewable, and sustainable
energy sources at a rate faster
than anyone now believes is possible.

In short, it is time to rapidly wean ourselves from our addiction to oil before the damage to our planet is too great.

In the 1960s, putting a man on the moon began with an audacious declaration and a seemingly impossible timeline, followed by the marshalling of America's best minds. Further back still, we mobilized our entire country to fight two global wars.

And now we need that
same level of resolve
to mobilize for perhaps
a still greater effort:
the transformation of our economy.

To do so, we will require
the same courage
to make the sacrifices,
commit the resources,
and
UNLEASH OUR CREATIVE GENIUS.

And when
we make this commitment,
the effect will be felt
in every country
around the world.

FOR AS WE TRANSFORM,
THE WORLD TRANSFORMS WITH US,
especially as they see
that we can make this
economic transition and thrive.

We know that this transition will not be easy. But this is our generation's moment to rise to greatness and shoulder the necessary responsibilities to create an enduring era of sustainability, peace, and prosperity, with a pristine natural environment.

That is the
opportunity the Gulf offers:
a turning point for America
and for humanity
to enter a new and creative era,
one in which our
intelligence,
ingenuity,
and
love
reshape the fabric
of our economy
and our culture
so that we can
live honorably
on this beautiful planet.

We ask you to stand with us in making the Declaration that this disaster will mark the end of the era of oil and to commit to creating the legislation, oversight, incentives, and investments necessary to turn us from our damaging path.

From your positions of elected responsibility, we ask you to call forth the greatness in our country, as we commit to doing so ourselves.

TOGETHER,
we can make the
Gulf oil spill the
moment that defined a generation
and ended the destruction
of our ecosystems
while restarting the
engine of our economy.

Finally, as part of this Declaration,
we ask you to join with us
in a single shared commitment:
to create America's
full energy independence
by July 4th, 2020
through the accelerated development
of
clean,
renewable,
non-polluting,
and
sustainable energy sources
and through vast improvements
in
energy efficiency.

Let us make that commitment
to ourselves and to the world.
 

And may the achievement
of that BOLD GOAL
in a decade
be the legacy that we leave
our grandchildren
and
their grandchildren
after them.
