We need to provide the leadership.

God, it is great to be back because this is the best Nation on earth. It is the shining city on the hill. We can and must lead.

If we are smart about putting together a piece of legislation that not only addresses security concerns that flow out of climate change...

Some of my friends like to talk about putting a tax on carbon. I do not think there are a lot of people who are going to vote for that.

We need more nuclear. We need more clean coal. We need more solar, we need more wind, we need to create more biofuels.

I think this is something that we should be utilizing in all of the developments of offshore wind.

In 1975, we passed the first CAFE legislation.

I just want to say to our Governors, as a recovering Governor, welcome.

if we are interested in meeting our energy needs, nuclear has got to be part of it, wind has to be part of it, solar has to be part of this, clean coal has to be part of this, and conservation.

I find it ironic, as some of colleagues demonize cap-and-trade, that to the extent that I studied anything as an undergraduate at Ohio State, I studied economics.

I never heard much of cap-and-trade, in fact, until 1990 when a fellow named George Herbert Walker Bush, our President, in signing the Clean Air Act into law, called for establishing a cap-and-trade regimen.
