We need a balanced, long term energy policy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and preserve the beauty of the land we love.

People want smart energy policy.

We need to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.

I came here to help make America more competitive and prosperous by developing an energy policy that increases conservation, promotes cleaner technologies, encourages development of renewables and enhances domestic production of gas and oil.

I support an all of the above energy policy, so that's not only just Keystone, that's not only just drilling, that's clean coal, that's safe nuclear.

The more we focus on using renewable fuels, the less we are dependent upon foreign oil.

It's going to cost trillions of dollars to rework the energy sources all over the world. Were going to have to move away from fossil fuels.

I will work for energy policies that recognize oil won't last forever.

Since stepping down as laboratory director in 1999, I have devoted an increasing fraction of my time to international issues. I am involved with energy, environment, and sustainability issues, particularly as they involve new energy sources free of greenhouse gases.
