I have a great deal of difficulty with those who live in a hugely prosperous country telling people in the developing world that they should be deprived of a critical source of energy.

It makes no sense to talk of the social obligations of the corporation without reference to its economic obligations. The two are intertwined.

It is important to remember that all business has an impact on the lives of real people.

The freedoms that people have that flow from all civic institutions fundamentally come from the success of a market system.

We should seek a system that provides outlets for those skills and talents so that everyone can find a way to work and serve in a manner that best suits the strengths of each individual.

There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels.

In every aspect of life, including the economic dimension, we are always challenged to do the right thing. In many cases in the market system, which allows a great deal of latitude for human choice, people can get carried away to excess.
