For as long as anyone can remember, reliable, cheap electricity has been taken for granted in the United States.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reliable and competitively priced electricity is fundamental to growing our economy and creating jobs. Our customers expect nothing less.
Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency.
For far too long, America has been without a comprehensive energy plan, and today consumers are paying the price - literally - at the pump and in their heating bills.
We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one.
We keep spending money and sending it overseas when we should be developing American energy.
The demand for electricity to have a strong, growing economy is too great to be simply offset by more conservation.
We must have a relentless commitment to producing a meaningful, comprehensive energy package aimed at conservation, alleviating the burden of energy prices on consumers, decreasing our country's dependency on foreign oil, and increasing electricity grid reliability.
Right now, every American is affected by high energy prices. Working families, small businesses and consumers across the country are feeling the pinch with no end in sight.
We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.
