We're One Of The Most

I'm Sort Of Optimistic About What We Could Do, But I'm Very Pessimistic About What We Will Do. I Can't Tell You That Al Gore's 10-year Plan Is Impossible. I'm Old Enough To Remember The Second World War - If We Had A World War Ii-type Mobilization, We Might Accomplish Gore's Plan. In 1940 We Were Making Tens Of Thousands Of Automobiles, And In 1941 We Were Making Tens Of Thousands Of Airplanes. We Mobilized As A Nation. If We Get That Kind Of Mobilization As A Nation Or Globally, Then We Could Solve A Lot Of These Problems.

Sometimes I Think The Congress Feels That If You Only Decided Tomorrow To Switch To Wind Power That In Two Years We'd Be Getting 80 Percent Of Our Electricity From Wind Power. It's Nonsense. Normally It Takes 20 To 30 Years After A New Technology Is Demonstrated And Deployed Before It Powers Even 15 Or 20 Percent Of The Grid. There's This Long Lag Time, And We Haven't Even Decided Which Directions To Go.

If We Were Redesigning Around People Instead Of Around Automobiles, Which I Think The Market Is More Or Less Going To Do, Although Too Slowly, Than I'd Be A Lot Cheerier.

Woman Should Have The Choice Whether To Have An Abortion Or Not, But I Like What Bill Clinton Said: It Ought To Be Safe And Rare. You Don't Want To Offend People With It. You Try And Do As Much As You Can To Let People Be Different, But Also To Try And Protect Them From Things That They Think Are Bad. And It's Worth All Of Us Giving A Little.

The National Academy Of Sciences Would Be Unable To Give A Unanimous Decision If Asked Whether The Sun Would Rise Tomorrow.
