We are putting more and more power into a system which is less and less able to carry it reliably.

We should remember that there are nations which meet more than 30 to 60% of their power requirements through the nuclear power system.

I also believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity for the United States and European Union to lead the world in developing and implementing new and more efficient technologies - smart electrical grids and electrical vehicles.

I think the American people in many cases want to transform our energy system.

We can, and must, shift to an economy in which 100% of our electricity is generated renewably.

Global conditions are far too complex to be able to imagine that they could ever be really controlled by one power.

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.

I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.

The world has become so complex that the idea of a power in which everything comes together and can be controlled in a centralized way is now erroneous.

Why? Because we're very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and we're counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power.
