It strikes me as an imperative for this country to get serious about using less energy, which is a win-win.
If we can sell something and make more money and put that into the economy, then why not?
Failure is not an option. They had to innovate. They had to be imaginative.
They are dependent on a single massive supplier of resources.
we do have a cap-and-trade system in the United States. We call it the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
The world has changed and we are just trying to be realistic about what is happening out there.
there has not been any accusations of rampant corruption. Moreover, we have actually seen a 40-percent reduction in greenhouse gases.
We need to have a clearer and better and deeper understanding of the role that energy is playing in decisionmaking around the world.
No country has ever grown its supply of anything by restricting its export.

The bottom line is that we fight trade wars over automobiles or over computer chips. We fight real wars over food and energy.
