On Energy & Oil: End our dependence on foreign oil with wind & solar

Q: What about suspending the gas tax?

A: It’s like feeding your children candy instead of roast beef. I’ve been behind the lines of power in government. There are giant multinational corporations who tell elected officials how they can and can’t vote. We need to start with renewable energy like wind and solar and end our dependence on foreign oil.

On Energy & Oil: Invest billions to help clean energy entrepreneurs

We need to invest billions to help clean energy entrepreneurs. Source: Georgia 2008 Democratic Senate Primary Debate Jun 30, 2008
