My schedulers keep getting driven crazy by the fact that they can't fit hikes in my schedule.

I was a little too young to be a hippie.

Dense overgrown forests and rangelands have grown like a cancer. They need to be treated.

We do have serious energy needs for the country, we are aware that natural gas is especially in demand because of its air quality benefits: 90 percent of new power plants have been natural gas-powered.

What's near and dear to my heart is cooperative conservation.

I started out as a Democrat.

I believe strongly that we need to get beyond rhetoric, beyond industry and environmentalists fighting with each other, and seriously solve problems.
