A new mass movement is expected to emerge when Citizens for Energy Freedom—the grassroots organization of the Set America Free Coalition—convenies its “Energy Independence in 2009” conference in Jupiter, Florida on January 17–18, 2009.

The nation's premier energy independence advocacy leadership group will be widening into a "citizen's campaign" to correct America's energy policy mistakes. More than just another conclave of experts, Energy Independence is 2009 is envisioned as an ignition switch for average people to shape the country's future energy survival.

The conference kicks off with a gala banquet at the West Palm Beach Marriott Hotel, featuring a keynote address by Edwin Black, bestselling author of The Plan. Conferees reconvene the next day at Florida Atlantic University’s Jupiter campus, and will feature a keynote address by Robert Zubrin, bestselling author Energy Victory, followed by two expert panels—the first on liquid fuel choice in the transportation sector, and the second on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Attendees will have the opportunity not only to hear from and engage experts on energy independence, but will also receive grassroots training on how to engage others—including government officials—on the urgent need for liquid fuel choice.

In addition to Black and Zubrin, other panelists and speakers include: acclaimed film director Jerry Zucker of Airplane! and, Ghost fame; Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy; Anne Korin and Dr. Gal Luft, co-chairs of the Set America Free Coalition; Gregory Dolan, Vice President for Communications and Policy at the Methanol Institute; Sean O’Hanlon, founder and senior analyst at the American Biofuels Council; Felix Kramer, founder of the California Cars Initiative (CalCars); and Steve Marshall, senior fellow at the Cascadia Center for Regional Development in Seattle. Several members of Congress and other federal and state government officials are being slated to address the event.
