Where is Justin Morrill when you need him?

But we need focused programs to inspire and empower those who do enter universities and community colleges to pursue careers in clean energy and energy innovation. Only a focused program like RE-ENERGYSE (or our broader National Energy Education Act proposal) will do that.

Maybe Congress figured with such a larg program, they don’t need anything else.

We can’t build the clean energy revolution if we don’t have people who know how to build it!!!
