The energy transition demands a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken and a stable, meaningful regulatory framework. It appears important to us to awaken public opinion to the fact that this transition will necessarily come at a cost and will, at least in the short term, involve a price increase.

The Nation needs to take a new approach to our energy problems.

We ought to open up energy innovation across the board and - and remove the barriers to every form of energy.

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.

New discoveries and production of resources like shale oil and gas are dramatically altering our energy supply outlook and the entire global geopolitical landscape. And the pace of change - particularly in the past few years - continues to accelerate.

As the economy grows, so will the demand for energy.

I think the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable energy.

When it comes to fossil fuels, we're going to find more here and use less. Over time, we're going to become energy independent. I am tired of sending $300 billion overseas to buy oil from people who hate our guts. The choice between a weak economy and a strong environment is a false choice, that is not the choice I'll offer America.

However, it may occur that we will find ourselves using a variety of fuel sources to give us the energy we need support our lifestyles and boost our economy.

On energy, we should be exploring for domestic sources of energy.
