Energy Policy Quotes

• Bajo el dominio de la ideología del "libre mercado", hemos atravesado dos décadas de crisis energética sin una política energética eficaz. Debido a una dependencia fácil e irreflexiva del petróleo importado, no tenemos una política adecuada para la conservación de la gasolina y otros productos derivados del petróleo. No tenemos una política adecuada para el desarrollo o el uso de otras formas de energía menos perjudiciales. No tenemos un sistema adecuado de transporte público.

• Esta curiosa fe se basa en la noción de que pronto desarrollaremos nuevas fuentes ilimitadas de energía: yacimientos petrolíferos nacionales, petróleo de esquisto, carbón gasificado, energía nuclear, energía solar, etcétera. Esto es fantasioso porque la causa básica de la crisis energética no es la escasez: es la ignorancia moral y la debilidad de carácter. No sabemos cómo utilizar la energía ni para qué utilizarla. Y no sabemos contenernos. Nuestra época se caracteriza tanto por el abuso y el despilfarro de la energía humana como por el abuso y el despilfarro de la energía de los combustibles fósiles.

• In the U.S. I think there are really two reasons we should pursue energy policy. One is climate change, and the second is this notion that the oil market is cartel-ized by people, some of whom are friendly, some of whom are not, some of whom are in a more ambivalent position to us.

• Hillary Clinton has decided to line up with John McCain in pushing to suspend the federal excise tax on gasoline, 18.4 cents a gallon, for this summer's travel season. This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country.
