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

Meanwhile, people have to join us and fight back against the federal government that has dropped the ball, that is in bed with these energy companies, that wants them to make more money than they've made before.

We ought to be allowing the private sector to pursue every form of energy because the energy of the future, it's not going to come from the government picking winners and losers.

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.

It is time for a New Direction for our nation's energy policies.

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

We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one.

The Bush administration and Congressional Republicans have failed to bring up comprehensive energy reform or any piece of legislation for that matter that would lower gas prices, opting instead to give massive subsidies to the oil and gas industry.

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

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