Political Quotes

“Currently, 22 percent of our energy is from coal, and they are predicting it will be 21 percent in the year 2020, that is 19 more years. Oil is currently 40 percent and will decrease only to 39 percent. Natural gas is the growth area. It is going to go from 23 to 28 percent. And nuclear they show dropping from 8 percent of our energy source to 5 percent, and they show renewable staying at 7. Now, that will be growth in renewables, but only as much as the growth in energy consumption, because the percentage is not changing. Now, I hope we can do better than that. I hope renewables could double. But if we double renewables in the next 20 years, we would still only be 14 percent of our overall energy use. One issue I wanted to mention on natural gas too; now, in oil, as we stop producing enough oil to run our economy, we then started to import from all over the world. We import from like 20 different parts of the world. Unfortunately, a lot of it is from unstable parts of the world that are not real friendly to us. But natural gas, we only import from two countries, Mexico and Canada, where we do it on pipeline.”
