Now Is The Time To Scrub Ideology

We've Introduced The New Apollo Energy Act, Which Is, I Think, Safe To Say The Most Comprehensive And Aggressive Bill That Has Been Introduced In Congress Because It Does Have The Scale, Scope, And Ambition Of The Original Apollo Project, And It Attacks The Problem In Every Way You Can Imagine. There's No Silver Bullet Here, But There Are Lots Of Opportunities.

Not Wasting Energy. It Is The Least Sexy, But The Single Most Important And Always The Least Expensive. You Would Be Very Interested In A Report By The Mckinsey Consulting Firm That Concluded That 40 Percent Of Everything That We Have To Do To Mitigate Our Emissions Are Net Economic Winners. They Are Cost Effective And The Most Cost Effective Is Not Wasting Energy. That's Actually Going To Be The Largest Part Of This Whole Journey, I Believe - Using Less Energy With The Same Beneficial Results.

I Reflect Back 35 Years Ago, And Look How Far We Have Come In America With Our Environmental Policy To Improve The Conditions Of Our Air And Water, And We Have Had Some Real Successes.
