The more energy-efficient we become as a nation, the less we need to develop additional energy sources.

We need to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.

Energy consumption matters both to our environment and our economy.

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

The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government - alone among the governments of the world - will not allow its own people to recover the energy that they possess.

Homes and buildings, many of which are old and drafty, eat up 40 percent of the energy America uses. Such inefficiencies perpetuate our reliance on foreign oil, imperiling our national security and increasing our contribution to climate change.

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

By burning nuclear waste as fuel, we believe we can power the United States cleanly for hundreds of years without ever touching new resources.

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.

It's as certain that as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, we will just keep burning them.
