One of my top priorities in Congress is to reduce U. S. dependence on fossil fuels.
The high prices also highlight the fact that the U. S. is too heavily dependent on fossil fuels that we import from unstable parts of the world. To protect our national security, we must become more energy secure.
We should be increasing research and development into our fossil fuel program.
The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future.
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.
There is more He-3 energy on the Moon than we have ever had in the form of fossil fuels on Earth. All we have to do is to go there and get it.
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
As long as we're dependent on those fossil fuels, we're dependent on the Middle East. If we are not victims, we're certainly captives.
The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we'll be.
What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet.
