Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will but political will is a renewable resource.

In reality Republicans have long been at war with clean energy. They have ridiculed investments in solar and wind power bashed energy-efficiency standards attacked state moves to promote renewable energy and championed laws that would enshrine taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuels while stripping them from wind and solar.

We should see the leadership from the White House setting dates certain for certain goals of achieving greater alliance on alternative and renewable energy sources but we are not.

Hubris is one of the great renewable resources.

By encouraging conservation increasing investments in clean renewable sources of energy and promoting increased domestic production of oil and gas we can build a more secure future for our country.

The future is green energy sustainability renewable energy.

But reducing harmful emissions abating our dependence on foreign oil and developing alternative renewable energy sources have benefits that go beyond environmental health they improve personal health enhance national security and encourage our nation's economic viability.

During my travels in Iraq Israel Gaza Brazil Indonesia Japan Europe and all over the United States I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy education and healthcare for all renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.

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

Doing all we can to combat climate change comes with numerous benefits from reducing pollution and associated health care costs to strengthening and diversifying the economy by shifting to renewable energy among other measures.
