We must start... rebuilding our cities around energy efficiency and human needs, rather than around the car and wasted energy.

We have had a loss in manufacturing base and a loss of some of our productive capability that can be filled with the green-collar jobs of tomorrow. But it will only happen if we recognize the scale and scope of both the challenge and the opportunity.

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.

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.

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.

Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods.
