I tend to be a kind of left federalist. There's a value to more power of certain kinds being positioned at a more local level.

What I see increasingly is that companies are playing political roles. We should actually have our research and our laws map that.

Things poll well, but people don't believe that politicians are telling the truth. Politicians might mention renewable energy, and the public will think, "That sounds good, but I don't believe they're going to do everything they can to build those towers."

It's a lot harder to push forward things, like energy policy. There's a big dream out there about wind and solar power.

You can't just provide power, you also need public education.

This is what's so hard about our current politics: things poll well, but people don't believe that politicians are telling the truth.

People think that the politician is just part of a system, and whether they're lying or not doesn't matter.
