What is ReEnergize Texas?

ReEnergize Texas is a coalition of students fighting climate change across the Lone Star State. We have central staff on duty to assist young people and student groups who want to get active on their campuses and/or in their communities.

A few of our key principles:

• Texas has the greatest renewable energy potential in the country… sounds like an economic opportunity for our state
• If Texas takes the lead, the rest of the country will follow our example because 1) no one expects it, and 2) we’re Texas
• We believe in a safe, clean, just future for Texas, America, and the world. We therefore support renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal), energy efficiency measures, and sustainable biofuels

Why Sign Up On Our Site?

We are hosting campus specific blogs for everyone who signs up with our site. When you sign up, we will automatically create a blog page for your campus (if one is not already up). You can use this page to post info on local issues, projects on your campus, or elections. Want to shoot an interview with your local candidates for State Representative? Do it! Once you’ve put it on YouTube, you can also add it to your blog page and maximize exposure to like-minded people in your community.

The beauty of this site is it’s created by you! Our staff couldn’t possibly keep up with all the great projects going on everywhere in Texas. We couldn’t possibly read and post all the local articles about your policy-makers and representatives. But if students in your community will post the information to the blog, all of us can read it, comment on it, and act together with a unified voice.
