All growth is a leap in the dark a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

Despite Arizona's remarkable growth in recent years we have met the current federal health standards for ozone pollution and the Environmental Protection Agency recently approved our dust control plan.

By adopting the control strategy the nation's environmental program has created a built-in antagonism between environmental quality and economic growth.

The most meaningful engine of change powerful enough to confront corporate power may be not so much environmental quality as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.

I am going to confront the old-fashioned negative thinking which says that all government needs to do to generate growth is cut worker and environmental protections cut taxes on the rich and stroke 'fat cats' until they purr with pleasure. I'm completely repudiating the idea that government has to get out of the way.

I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth environmental protection improvements in our educational system.

A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.

We learned that economic growth and environmental protection can and should go hand in hand.

This is not a zero-sum game. We know that if we provide access and education particularly where there are gaps in the market we will create more jobs we will create more growth and we will create more activity in the U.S. market which will be good for our economy.

States have the responsibility to create rules and conditions for growth and development and to channel the benefits to all citizens by providing education and making people able to participate in the economies and in decision-making.
