The Energy Independent

Spanish translation: The Energy Independent

Science - Energy / Power Generation / newsletter about energy efficiency
English term or phrase: The Energy Independent
It's the title of a newsletter about energy efficiency, containing news and advisce aimed at business and residential readers.

I realize the literal translation would be "El Independiente de Energía" but that sounds strange to me as a newsletter title. Any thoughts?

Explanation:
If its the name of the newsletter, why would you change it? It would be like changing "The New York Times" into "Los tiempos en Nueva York"

I'm sorry! It can happen to anyone! I won't enter into the gloss until you make a final decision. If you MUST translate, how about 'La Independencia Energética' ?

I agree; my thought was to leave it in English. The client instructed me to translate it.
