Ben Lieberman Quotations

We've tried it and we should definitely not do it again. I don't think we want to increase our reliance on imports again.

There has been anger at times over high gas prices in Europe, I don't see any growing anger right now.

The Republicans will take the blame because it's happening on their watch.

It was slipped in so quietly, nobody quite knew what was going on till the new standard took effect and the new toilets started appearing.

And anything less requires a great deal of financial expenditures for very little and very inconsistent power.

In Montana, West Virginia, and the rest of the United States, coal is definitely the electricity source of the foreseeable future.
