I've been very passionate about renewable energy for many years, particularly solar energy and its capacity to bring abundant clean, sustainable energy to millions around the globe.

As someone who runs a solar financing company and founded the world's largest youth clean energy organization, I know solar energy is a very good investment.

I think the future for solar energy is bright.

There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

I'm an advocate for a full spectrum of energy policy, but we're never going to get there with solar cells that are going to power this country.

Solar power is the last energy resource that isn't owned yet - nobody taxes the sun yet.

Solar will outcompete other technologies.

If we are serious about moving toward energy independence in a cost-effective way, we should invest in solar energy. If we are serious about cutting air and water pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we should invest in solar energy.

One SF prediction that I would like very much to see: Get solar collectors launched to beam energy back home, and get away from fossil fuels.

Even though I love solar and love wind, like most people do, I like the renewable sources, they alone are not going to get America energy independent.
