On April 15 1999, a large group of environmental organizations, consumer groups and businesses released a statement for a US national energy strategy. Its proposed goals for 2020 are:
- to decrease energy use by 10% from today’s level;
- to use renewable energy to meet at least 25% of the nation’s energy demand;
- to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by at least 30%; and
- to phase out the use of nuclear power.
The statement was delivered to all members of US Congress and key officials in the Clinton Administration.
