Most republicans are not prepared to stand up to the fossil fuel industry because they get a lot of their campaign funds from the koch brothers and other people in the fossil fuel industry. that tells me why we have to reform our campaign finance system.

Renewable energy fits well into the conservative mindset by allowing competition into the energy markets so that consumers have choice. the system as it is, with big utilities monopolizing the energy playing field or fossil fuel energy being given massive subsidies so that they are on a kind of corporate welfare, is the antithesis of conservative principles.

But to truly transform our economy, protect our security, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change, we need to ultimately make clean, renewable energy the profitable kind of energy. so i ask this congress to send me legislation that places a market-based cap on carbon pollution and drives the production of more renewable energy in america.

Every candidate running for president has got to answer the following very simple question: at a time when we need to address the planetary crisis of climate change, and transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainability, should we continue to give $135 billion in tax breaks and subsidies over the next decade to fossil fuel companies?

The sooner we switch away from carbon-based fuel and start relying on renewable energy sources available in the united states, the sooner we will grow our economy by creating the millions of new jobs that will come from retrofitting homes and businesses, building smart grids, renewable energy systems and planting trees and all the rest. we need to create a lot of jobs that can't be outsourced.

I am grateful to the fossil fuel industry for bringing us the concentrated carbon that took us through the industrial revolution and through the technological revolution and brought us to the gateway of the renewable energy revolution, or what i call the sunlight revolution. but that is where we must part ways. it's the natural order.

I always hated the grateful dead. never even bought a led zeppelin album.

Be grateful for your journey because it is yours alone.

My perception of the human animal is as an extremely dangerous predator. that's who i perceive us to be as a species. maybe the most dangerous predator on the planet, with the exception of a few microbes. i'm really grateful for the degree of socialization that prevents us, most of the time, from killing and eating each other. and i admire all the social structures that have been designed and layered and niched in that encourage bonding toward a kind of social harmony that is meant to contain and counteract our natural inclinations toward predation, ferocity, and eating whatever moves.

I become filled with anxiety and hurt as a natural reaction. then i resort to my gratitude journal. i make it a point to think about and write down all of the things i have to be grateful for, and this helps me immensely.
