If we invest in researching and developing energy technology we'll do some real good in the long run rather than just making ourselves feel good today. But climate change is not the only challenge of the 21st century and for many other global problems we have low-cost durable solutions.

So if you're a customer today the same person who came in to demonstrate the technology for you and helped you architect the solution before you bought it is likely going to be leading the team to help you do the implementation.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.

Drill everything mine everything roll back regulations tweak the science expedite permits. Sound familiar? The Republicans offer up more 19th-Century solutions to our 21st-Century energy problems.

Further the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.

Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable solutions are not.

If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad and yet potentially joyous state of America.

I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.

The dissolution of the nation destroys the national religion and dethrones the national deity.
