Think! Energy
Think! Energy means getting people to think about energy, talk about energy, and do something about our energy now and for the future. It seeks to bring a greater balance and thoughtfulness to the public discourse about energy by retaining the important educational messages of conservation, efficiency, and renewable energy, while at the same time increasing the focus of where energy comes from and how it affects the economy, the environment and national security.
