Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy
by Jay Inslee and Bracken Hendricks

The co-authors, one a U.S. Congressman who is the primary sponsor of the New Apollo Energy Act, and the other the founder of the Apollo Alliance, have joined their experience, expertise, and passion for a clean energy future to lay out the path to stop global warming and gain energy independence.
