I think we were naive during the first two years of the [Barack] Obama Administration because the Republicans didn't fight us on this point during the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama and McCain both ran on a clean energy platform. But now, uncontested lies have eroded hard-won public understanding. So, we have to go back and make the case again.

Right now, the government is spending billions of dollars supporting the problem-makers in the U.S. economy - the polluters, despoilers, incarcerators, and warmongers.

There's the God within and the God without, and you have to attend to the alignment of the two of them.

A green economy begins to replace some of the clunking and chugging of ugly machines with the wise effort of beautiful, skilled people. That means more jobs.

America's government has to get the public investments right.

Too often we think about the green economy as an elite market niche, one in which affluent people spend more money to consume greener and cleaner products.

I hope everybody's getting smarter.
