I beg the Senate, once and for all, to do the right thing for our future, |
I believe we must take another look at CAFE [corporate average fuel economy] standards. |
I don't believe that we ought to be horse-trading major American programs. President Clinton has looked at the politics, very much so, and perhaps he's giving Vice President Gore something to run on. |
I don't believe we need an outside commission every time there is a problem in this country, |
I don't know how much it should be but it should be more rather than less is my point. Six billion dollars probably seems like to me to be the least amount. |

I think a portfolio standard should go beyond wind, solar and geothermal energy to include renewable energy like hydropower and clean alternatives such as coal gasification, clean coal, nuclear energy and, finally, credits for achieving new levels of efficiency and conservation. |
I think he hit a home run, and he touched all the bases as he went around, and when he got to home plate, he got a big cheer, |
