It's not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. Coal is a finite resource, too.

The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place.
I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I'm a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea.

I see the war problem as an economic problem, a business problem, a cultural problem, an educational problem - everything but a military problem. There's no military solution. There is a business solution - and the sooner we can provide jobs, not with our money, but the United States has to provide the framework.
Medicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That's a tough thing to face.
