“We need to have a comprehensive energy program that does everything we can with respect to renewable energy because renewable energy in fact is very good for our economy, because it’s going to create jobs here at home.  We’re going to stop exporting the $500 billion a year that go overseas when we can become more energy independent on our own resources.  So jobs and energy independence are very important but in addition to that, when we protect our children from the dangers of pollution, including global warming, one of the mitigation strategies to do that is renewable energy.”
