On Energy & Oil: America ready to be inspired to pursue clean energy

Look at clean energy. [Trump] doesn't think we're smart enough to revolutionize our economy. He is too pessimistic about the capabilities of the American people. I think of the American people still having what we did when we went to the moon and we just need a spark of inspiration. And I think America is ready and willing and able to create a whole new clean energy economy if they have that spark and inspiration."

On Government Reform: Filibuster is preventing climate change legislation

The sad fact is [that] at the moment... we're going to have to find a way to get this done without them, we still have not seen the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt. We're seeing the spirit of Mitch McConnell, who will kill any climate change bill in its cradle if he has a chance. And that means we have to get rid of the filibuster, we have to prevent Mitch McConnell from stopping climate change and we have to let majority vote--one person one vote--be the Democratic rule in the U.S. Senate.
