Political Quotes

“I ask each of my colleagues to think about when they go home this weekend to go to their grocery store, go to their son's or daughter's school, go to a local gas station, stop any one of their constituents, ask her or ask him what energy issue affects them the most on a day-to-day basis. I doubt that they will talk about electric power transmission lines. I doubt that they will talk about reprocessing nuclear fuel. I doubt that they will talk about building oil rigs, where they locate them, where they drill. I will bet their constituents, almost every one that they ask, would say that the single energy issue affecting their daily lives most is the volatility of retail gasoline prices. People invariably, inevitably, almost every week will call them on the phone and talk to them in the grocery store or whatever and say, why did gas prices spike so much? Why did they go up so quickly? What happened this weekend to cause these to go up?”
