Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer is quite the entertaining speaker, and his speech last night at the Democratic National Convention was pretty great. He made some potent points regarding the state of America’s energy system and did it with a good bit of humor.
Some gems:
“We need a new energy system that is clean, green, and American made.”
…
“Barack Obama understands that the most important barrel of oil is the one that you don’t use.”
…
“We simply can’t drill our way to energy independence, even if you drilled in all of John McCain’s backyards, including the ones he can’t even remember.”
Update: Nice ad-lib apparently. And here’s a bonus quote:
“The petro-dictators will never own American wind and sunshine.”
