We can't get back to business without the fundamental building blocks that hold up modern life.
Real Clear Energy (7/6/20) column: "As states attempt to slowly return to some degree of normalcy from COVID-19, the pandemic with its incalculable consequences clearly illuminates how essential it is to reinvigorate our economies and critical industries to allow us to better offset any future disruption. And the vital ingredient required to do that - based on every historic recovery from other major disruptive events - is energy. It always plays an intrinsic role in sustained economic growth that generates permanent, middle-class jobs. This post-disaster recovery will prove to be no different...To achieve it, however, our business and political leaders must chart a course toward a future that creates more homegrown essential, supply-chain industries that begins with the ability to employ our diverse domestic energy resources. This will demand that we ignore anti-energy groups who offer fact-free opposition to our energy future – opposition that will do nothing more than will harm consumers, businesses – and the environment...To do otherwise will merely slow our economic recovery at the expense of countless families and businesses who are just trying to get back on their feet again."

"We're calling for an eco-socialist Green New Deal that involves public enterprise and planning, particularly in the energy, transportation and manufacturing sectors, so we can get to zero to negative greenhouse gas emissions and 100% clean energy by 2030."
– Howie Hawkins,
Green Party Presidential Candidate
