A comprehensive national energy policy is critical to our nation's economy and our national security. Energy expenditures account for about 7% percent of our total economy and influence pricing in the much of the rest of the economy.

Energy powers our economy, both literally and figuratively.

I strongly support an 'all-of-the-above' energy policy that includes additional development of wind, clean coal, and bio-fuels.

Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.

In the U.S. I think there are really two reasons we should pursue energy policy. One is climate change, and the second is this notion that the oil market is cartel-ized by people, some of whom are friendly, some of whom are not, some of whom are in a more ambivalent position to us.

We keep spending money and sending it overseas when we should be developing American energy.

Americans increasingly understand that clean energy is more than just an environmental issue. It is crucial to reducing our dangerous dependence on foreign countries.

Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.

Among the many important provisions in the energy bill are the creation of an estimated half million new jobs, increased oil production, blackout protection, controlling fertilizer costs by stabilizing natural gas prices and enacting new efficiency benchmarks.

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.
