technology light coal
We could never light another match, and if China continues to build one coal-fired power plant a week, we are doomed. China is going to have to have new technologies made available to it to stop this. They're not going to live in poverty.
goal car ambitious
Back in the mid-1970s, we adopted some fairly ambitious goals to improve efficiency of our cars. What did we get? We got a tremendous boost in efficiency.
cutting design climate
When we design our national R&D programs, we ought to ensure a place for the small, the new, and the cutting-edge.
cities car needs
We must start... rebuilding our cities around energy efficiency and human needs, rather than around the car and wasted energy.
responsibility race inspire
We can't tell China what to do if we don't do it ourselves. You don't inspire someone to take an action by refusing to take it yourself.

mistake thinking issues
Third issue, and again I think it is important to note, anyone can make a mistake and any administration can make a mistake once in a while, but this is just a long train of abuses, an unbroken chain of following special interests rather than the health of the American people.
rivers bird tree
What is a fish without a river? What is a bird without a tree to nest in? What is an Endangered Species Act without any enforcement mechanism to ensure their habitat is protected? It is nothing.
get-well healing moral
Healing is a moral thing to do.
daily days fear goods guise hurricane providing purchases relief reports services soon
I fear that the days are soon upon us where we will see daily reports of exotic, unnecessary and grossly overpriced purchases of goods and services under the guise of providing hurricane relief and recovery.

It's time for all of us to unite across the state of Washington to build a working Washington. Let's get to work.
