Political Quotes

“Think about the potential in the energy industry if we just help to promote some of these clean, renewable energy technologies. One of the things on this cliff is the end of the wind energy production tax, which has been so incredibly successful in helping build this wind industry that is ready to take off but still needs a bit more support. This means clean energy to my State, Illinois, and the Middle West, where we've got lots of wind--it's free. And investing in wind energy--if that expires, we're going to lose 7,000 jobs in Illinois alone because of the failure to help invest in the wind energy industry.”
