Message: Moving Forward

In this country, we've always moved forward. We travelled by horse and buggy. Then by cars and trucks. When we once made washers and dryers, we turned to making PCs and OSes. It's part of the spirit of this country and a testament to its innovation and endurance that where we once fueled our lives with oil and coal, we now turn to wind and solar. We're in a transitionary period, for sure, but as Tom Friedman has said, this is not a post-era, this is a pre-era. We are not post-Cold War or post-9/11 anymore. We are pre-clean energy. And it is the herald of an era that will make us healthier, wealthier, and more energy independent.
