Democratic Presidential Candidate Bill Richardson To Detail His Campaign Platform in a New Book for Wiley
Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) June 14, 2007 -- New Mexico governor and surging Presidential candidate Bill Richardson will cement his reputation as the environmental candidate by publishing his plan to end America's dependence on foreign oil and adopt sensible energy policies in a new book to be published by Wiley. LEADING BY EXAMPLE: How We Can Inspire an Energy and Security Revolution will be published in November 2007 and it will be the centerpiece of Richardson's recently announced campaign for the White House.
The six-figure book deal was made by with agent Rafe Sagalyn, for world rights, with Eric Nelson, a Senior Editor at Wiley. Richardson decided to write the book when he realized that the various solutions on the table from politicians, diplomats, pundits, or industry leaders were not bold enough or comprehensive enough to truly help American reach its goals in time. In LEADING BY EXAMPLE, Richardson argues that we have known about our country's energy problems for 35 years, but since 1985 our consumption has climbed, fuel efficiency has stagnated, and our crippling dependence on foreign oil is as big as it has ever been. So Richardson is issuing a call to action, for Congress, the energy industry, and the public. He is calling for a new American revolution - an energy and climate revolution.

And as Governor, he has made New Mexico the Clean Energy State by requiring utility companies to produce energy through renewable resources and reduce carbon emissions. Before becoming Governor, Richardson served in Congress for 15 years and served as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 1997-1998. Richardson has been nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the release of hostages, American servicemen, and political prisoners in North Korea, Iraq, and Cuba.
