The environmental crisis arises from a fundamental fault: our systems of production - in industry agriculture energy and transportation - essential as they are make people sick and die.

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

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

In Britain the centrally prescribed welfare to work system short-changes the young unemployed. Transport housing and education are over centralised.

We need to drive down requirements for the schools. In the 19th century we increased the quality of the schools by higher education saying 'You can't come in unless you have these skills unless you've taken these courses.' We did that in Wisconsin when I was there it helped to transform the secondary school system.

Education must be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.

I would support a devolution of power out of Washington for education health care transportation.

Health care and education in my view are next up for fundamental software-based transformation.

Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom democracy and sustainable human development.

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
