What steps do you intend to take to ensure that those issues don't reemerge as major problems in Malawi, that they're not sort of backsliding on human rights or democracy?

In the most recent elections, I think they were in April, President Guelleh was elected for another term.

I'm very concerned about recent events about what this weekend's resignation of military leadership really means.

I figured out that even if we electrify half our cars and trucks, we would still need about 10 or 11 million barrels of oil, of crude oil, a day.

I hope it is clear that many in this body share Secretary Clinton's statement that President Assad has lost legitimacy to lead.

It might make them more interested in...

It is therefore absolutely critical that we remain fully engaged in Sudan, and particularly in Darfur.

One concern I have around sort of legitimacy, given the recent protests throughout north Africa and the Middle East, is transparency and corruption.

So in my view for the good of future generations, this has got to be a priority.

Did you consider whether it would be a good idea for the oil industry to self-insure in the way the nuclear industry does?

I believe that we need to work together.

We worry about nuclear power but it provides 70 percent of our clean electricity, no sulfur, nitrogen, mercury or carbon.

As we go toward the 2012 elections in Kenya, what are the things that we can and should be doing to continue to push along the path of reform to strengthen democratic institutions in Kenya to ensure we do not have a repeat of the 2007…

Kenyans can be and are already strong partners in the war on terrorism.

This is in my view has to stop, and it is not going to be able to stop maybe even under my tenure.

I believe that is reassuring to those of us who believe, as a matter of national interest, we should produce oil and gas from the Gulf.

I believe this accident should not have happened.

I think there's a feeling that we're kind of in an, maybe not to put it too dramatically, emergency situation.
