I've been told that I have a lot of energy. The secret is that I use renewable resources. Some days I'm solar powered. Some days I'm wind powered. And some people in this room might think I'm hybrid gas-powered. You'll just have to guess which it is today.

There's a tremendous amount of energy in Japan and, increasingly, in China.

Today, nuclear power provides 20 percent of power in the United States.

What my voting record reflects is constantly looking to improve the amount of resources we having going into research, development, and prototypes we have going into renewable energy sources.

The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences.

I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it, if it creates radiation.

Pollution Prevention, Not Polluter Protection Not blind opposition to progress, but opposition to blind progress.

We can, and must, shift to an economy in which 100% of our electricity is generated renewably.

Everything is about energy. We're surrounded by electro mist, fog and smog. We're covering ourselves in the wrong sorts of electro-magnetism. These idiot politicians who talk about climate change, for goodness sake, do they really think little us can do anything about it? No, of course not.
