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.

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.

When we design our national R&D programs, we ought to ensure a place for the small, the new, and the cutting-edge.

I talk about reducing our dependence on foreign oil. If we're buying electricity from a solar-thermal plant in Tijuana, I'm not sure we should say that's evil. If we are buying wind power from Alberta, I don't have a huge objection to that.
