This is our best opportunity in years, with the Obama administration, because one, they want to go green, and they want to go renewables, and they want to get off of foreign oil.

Getting off our addiction to fossil fuel and helping the rest of the world economy get off of fossil fuel is going to be a great empowerment for this planet.

I lead our national effort to address the largest single source of global warming pollution in the United states, which is coal. Are you going to move forward and start investing in clean energy, or are you simply going to go out of business because you don’t have an answer to address our most pressing problems?

I’m a patriotic American. I know I don’t have long to tell the story. I’m 80 years old. So get out and tell the story, hope younger people like you are going are going to pick it up and take the responsibility forward.

I know that from this point on we have our chance to redeem the heart of our country.

Hope for the future in this instance is president elect, who is very serious about transitioning off of fossil fuel and hopefully on to other sources, like a transportation system fueled by electricity or fueled by renewables.

Well if you go with the 200,000 mega watts of power that the dept. of energy in April ‘07 came out that we will need in the next 10 years, if you do that with wind in the corridor from Texas to Canada, you will create a lot of jobs. You’ll start off the first year with 138,000, and by the time you are in the corridor for 10 years, manufacturing and everything else will come in, and you will have created 3.5 million jobs.
