I think the African American community, the Latino community, the Native American communities have borne an unfair burden in the last century, and continue to.

I am a proud Christian who has been greatly tutored by Hindus and Buddhists and Sufis and others, and I stand and I speak from that place.

Reversing global warming will take a World War II level of mobilization. It is the work of tens of millions, not hundreds of thousands.

In countries where there are real civil wars, people go through a lot, and we should be willing to go through a lot to help them.

We are talking about capital-intensive enterprises, so market certainty is the key. Investors and entrepreneurs have to know that there will be a guaranteed U.S. renewable energy market in which they can compete. Otherwise, they will create the next generation of green companies and green jobs in Asia, not here.

To shift America (and the world) to a cleaner energy economy, millions of people will have to go to work in new industries. This necessary shift opens up tremendous new opportunities for work and wealth creation.

Rather than continuing to base our economy on a finite supply of dead things, we can base it on sources that are practically infinite and eternal: the sun, the moon, and the Earth's inner fire.

The disaster in the gulf shows: relying on dangerous, dirty fuels can at times impose incalculable costs. I have never heard of a wind farm collapsing and causing a massive wind-slick. I have never heard of a solar farm collapsing and leaving behind a catastrophic sun-spill.

We should not allow the fundamentalists and the bigots to take over and speak for the great faiths any more than we should let them take over and speak for the great nation.

It's a tremendous challenge now: to make sure the green economy is big enough that there is enough labor demand that people who've been thrown out of work can be re-employed AND people who are new to the workforce can be employed. And that is going to be very difficult.

You can't lead anybody you don't love. You can't do it. It's not possible.

[I wish no one ever asked me ] Did you sign that petition implicating the Bush Administration in 9/11? Because I never signed it, and I hate being vilified for a controversial idea I never espoused.

Everybody should be mad but anger only takes you so far. At some point, you'll have outrage fatigue and burn out.

I'm saying you should have the right not only to be an energy consumer but an energy producer. Follow the money to understand why my message keeps getting drowned out. Big oil and big coal are terrified by the green jobs message.
