A Strong Climate Bill is the Single Most Important Step that We Must Take. Commentary by Steven Chu, Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 22, 2009. "Over the next few months, Congress will decide on historic energy legislation that would create a generation of clean-energy jobs here in America, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. I believe passing a strong energy and climate bill is the single most important step we could take to secure our economic prosperity and leave a healthier planet for future generations... When the great hockey player Wayne Gretzky was asked how he positions himself on the ice, he replied: I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it's been.' America should do the same. President Obama is committed to signing comprehensive energy and climate legislation that will position America where the puck is going to be. The government can't solve this problem alone, but it can provide the right incentives for America's entrepreneurs, industries, and innovators to transform how we produce and use energy." Steven Chu is the Secretary of Energy.
