I've had a chance to meet some of my civil rights heroes and, more recently, members of the young generation around [Barack] Obama, people in their teens and twenties who were determined to make history and who were too idealistic to think that what they were trying to do might be impossible.

They just can't afford to be naive now, in terms of the ferocity of the opposition.

I am 100 percent on the side of insisting that white people step up to a different level of consciousness and commitment and the great gifts of the West and the great gifts of white culture and white community be used for a better purpose than this nonsense of supporting Trump. I insist on that. I refuse to accept that. I refuse to accept that we are going to give over 60 million people over to this guy.

I am for literally all of the underdogs that I can command and demand better of everyone, including myself.

Clean energy is hippy power. But its also cowboy power, it's rancher power, it's Appalachian power.
