 | | Quote Details: We (Texas and Arizona) have many issues in common. Among them is there is not an abundance of water. In fact, California has stolen our water. We have so little water in Arizona, the trees chase the dogs. | |

 | | Quote Details: It is time to break our addiction to fossil fuels. The evidence of global warming is mounting. We threaten the global environment with our continued use of fossil fuels. Not only is this an ecological threat, it is a tremendous economic threat, facing all of humanity. Global warming will bankrupt the re-insurance industry, spread infectious tropical diseases, and increase severe and unpredictable weather | |

 | | Quote Details: I have been consistently against Yucca Mountain. I held a hearing in the Environment Committee, the first that we’ve had in some time, looking at all the reasons why Yucca Mountain is not workable. The science does not support it. We do have to figure out what to do with nuclear waste. | |
|
|
 | | Quote Details: I will end the notion of Yucca Mountain because it has not been based on the sort of sound science that can assure the people in Nevada that they’re going to be safe. And that, I think, was a mistake. | |

| | Quote Details: The reason I voted for it [the energy bill] was because it was the single largest investment in clean energy — solar, wind, biodiesel — that we had ever seen. If we are going to deal with our dependence on foreign oil, then we’re going to have to ramp up how we’re producing energy here in the United States. | |
|
|
| | Quote Details: I have a comprehensive energy plan. It does not rely on nuclear power. We should not be siting any more coal-powered plants unless they can have the most modern, clean technology. And I want big demonstration projects to figure out how we would capture and sequester carbon. This is going to take a massive effort. This should be our Apollo moon shot. | |

|
| | Quote Details: That 2005 energy bill was big step backwards on the path to clean, renewable energy. That’s why I voted against it. That’s why I’m standing for the proposition — let’s take away the giveaways that were given to gas and oil, put them to work on solar and wind and geothermal and biofuels and all the rest that we need for a new energy future. | |

 | | Quote Details: There's nothing wrong with dealing with global warming. And it's a high priority for me. But there is a big difference between talking about global warming, which requires global solutions, and the idea of America warming. No one talks about America warming. If we're going to have solutions that deal, for instance, with a cap in trade program or a BTU tax or anything of that nature, it has to be global in its sweep. | |

| | Quote Details: I would not take one drop of water [regarding the diversion of Great Lakes water to parched states]. That water belongs to the State of Michigan and the surrounding states. | |
