Keeping America competitive requires affordable energy. And here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world.

Taxing labor or pollution?
Mar 5th, 2008 by Hans De Keulenaer
We need to profoundly revise all of our taxes and charges. The aim is to tax pollution – notably fossil fuels – more, and tax work less.
The biggest threat of China
Mar 1st, 2008 by Hans De Keulenaer
I never will forget a couple of years ago I had a fascinating conversation with the President of China, and we were discussing what our future would be and whether we wished to contain China. And I said, “I don’t wish to contain China.” I said, “The biggest security threat China presents the United States is that you will insist on getting rich the same way we did.” And he looked at me, and I could tell he had never thought of that. And I said, “You have to choose a different future, and we have to help. We have to support you. And that does not in any way let us off the hook. But it just means that we have to do this together.”
Bill Clinton, 1997
Stabilising emissions
Feb 20th, 2008 by Hans De Keulenaer
On Earth Day I made a commitment to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the year 2000. And I asked for a blueprint on how to achieve this goal. In concert with all other nations, we simply must halt global warming. It is a threat to our health, to our ecology, and to our economy. I know that the precise magnitude and patterns of climate change cannot be fully predicted. But global warming clearly is a growing, long-term threat with profound consequences. And make no mistake about it, it will take decades to reverse.
Bill Clinton, 1993

We will ensure that our people and our economy are never again held hostage by the whim of any country or cartel.

“Sleep” features that power down home office equipment and other electronic devices that are turned on but not in use can save households up to $70 annually.

Abundant electricity
Feb 6th, 2008 by Hans De Keulenaer
Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world’s machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.
