We should not allow the fundamentalists and the bigots to take over and speak for the great faiths any more than we should let them take over and speak for the great nation.

We're now moving into a stage where the green economy isn't just going to be the place for people to spend money. It's going to become a place where a lot more people can earn money, and also save more money. These kind of solutions require collective action and government action. So as an advocate for government change, even somebody like me gets to have a role.

The time has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism.

Clean energy independence should be an area of common ground.

If someone like myself, who is married to a white woman, who has spent my entire life building bridges, can't point out the alt-right whitelash reaction without being accused of being a racial polemecist, we're going to have a big problem.

Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for "sustainability," which nobody understands.

There's no higher honor, in my estimation, than being asked to serve in the White House.
