"International terrorism is a challenge of our lifetimes. Finding clean, sustainable means of dealing with our need for energy is the challenge of our lifetimes. Solving it won't prevent anything else from being an issue. But ignoring it will assure that everything else is doomed to fall.
"This problem won't be solved in the space of a single political season, and solutions won't show immediate results. They'll demand two things that have been utterly lacking from this administration, and all too rare in every administration: a willingness to place the long-term good of the nation above the short term gains of the powerful, and the political courage to both make and demand real and lasting sacrifice from the American people."
