jobs oil progress
So we are now still dependent on foreign oil, have a problem with global warming, and are losing jobs rapidly to the Japanese in fuel-efficient vehicles as a result of that very shortsighted progress.
oil progress would-be
If we had continued making progress at the rate we were during the Carter administration, we would be free of oil imports from Saudi Arabia today.
believe coincidence interest
It is a happy coincidence between what my constituents believe and my interests.
inspiration passion thinking
I would like to see whoever is our next president dedicate a significant part of their inaugural address to this challenge. We have to ignite the nation's energies and passions on this to make this happen. I think we do need the same kind of inspiration we had from Kennedy in his inaugural address in 1961.
thinking issues water
A lot of people do not think of forests as a health issue, but we have found out that is where our clean water comes from, from the forests.
real air years
I reflect back 35 years ago, and look how far we have come in America with our environmental policy to improve the conditions of our air and water, and we have had some real successes.
beautiful atmosphere treasure
On Earth, we still have a beautiful atmosphere that precisely maintains a thermally driven climatic system that shelters, shields and sustains our natural treasures.
technology light coal
We could never light another match, and if China continues to build one coal-fired power plant a week, we are doomed. China is going to have to have new technologies made available to it to stop this. They're not going to live in poverty.
goal car ambitious
Back in the mid-1970s, we adopted some fairly ambitious goals to improve efficiency of our cars. What did we get? We got a tremendous boost in efficiency.
cutting design climate
When we design our national R&D programs, we ought to ensure a place for the small, the new, and the cutting-edge.
cities car needs
We must start... rebuilding our cities around energy efficiency and human needs, rather than around the car and wasted energy.
responsibility race inspire
We can't tell China what to do if we don't do it ourselves. You don't inspire someone to take an action by refusing to take it yourself. We are in a race to be the dominant clean-energy provider to the world. Maybe this goes without saying: We've got to get China into an international protocol and the magic words are "common responsibility with differentiated action."
progress investing energy
Now is the time to scrub ideology out of the energy discussion, so we can make bi-partisan progress towards investing in a shared and better future.
oil giving addiction
The need to help spread democracy and the ability to do that will be much greater if we break this addiction to oil, which gives the oil princes and sultans the power in the Mideast.
