25x'25 issues sustainability document

Last week, 25x'25 released its Sustainability Principles at their 2008 annual summit in Omaha, Nebraska. The document was issued by the 25x'25 National Steering Committee with the purpose of guiding future 25x'25 work. The document defines sustainability as follows:

"Sustainability -- To be a long-term solution for America, renewable energy production must conserve, enhance, and protect natural resources and be economically viable, environmentally sound, and socially acceptable."

The 18 sustainability principles range from protecting air quality to ensuring renewable energy production has the same access to markets as fossil fuels. The full document can be accessed here.
