Reforming our schools, changing the way we use energy, reducing our deficit, none of this will be easy.
We are on the wrong trajectory with regard to how we use energy sources to power our industrial might and everyday lives.
FORBES: Hurricanes Drive Home Appeal Of Alternative Energy Sources
We're convinced, for our own self-interest, that the way we use energy, changing it to a more efficient fashion, is essential to our national security, because it helps to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and helps us deal with some of the dangers posed by climate change.
The more efficient we are in our energy use, the more energy we will use because efficiency makes it cheaper to consume.
The second generation of bioenergy crops has the potential to produce more energy on poorer soils and with fewer inputs than any crops we use for energy now.

When we use American energy to power our homes, businesses, and vehicles, we create new American jobs, grow new American industries, and safeguard our national security and our economic potential.
So I chose Argonne National Lab because right now, few areas hold more promise for creating good jobs and growing our economy than how we use American energy.
Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life -- in the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the energy we use.
All I want to emphasize is, is that when you look at farm economies, right now obviously prices are good, but given the volatility of the world market, for us to be able to figure out how we can also use energy and conservation as an enhancement to the core business of feeding people, then I think that we can make enormous progress.
She said: "We have to be able to use the energy we do generate more efficiently".
Professor Roger Crofts, of the Crichton Carbon Centre in Dumfries, believes we have to focus on reducing the amount of energy we use.
"Our aim is that consumers will get the best possible energy tariff - no tricks, no loopholes - and we will use the powers we gained in the Energy Bill earlier this month to make sure this happens, " he added.
These are the skills that will help our country transform the way we produce and use energy.

She is passionate about leveraging innovation to transform the way we generate and use energy and to encourage more women in technology leadership positions.
We are convinced, as some of you may be convinced, that changing the way we produce and use energy is essential to America's economic future -- that it will create millions of new jobs, power new industries, keep us competitive, and spark new innovation.
Today, our homes and businesses consume 40 percent of the energy that we use, and it costs us billions of dollars in energy bills.
And if we use their biomass directly and not just the seed - all we use are the seed of the corn - we use their biomass directly to make energy and to run the plant that makes the energy, we can have biofuels that are immensely better, that can give us 80 or 90 percent reductions in greenhouse gases compared to gasoline.
It brought to me a realisation that we were using energy at an uncontrolled rate without anyone turning around and saying, well do we really need to use all that energy?
Eliminating free radical production would involve completely redesigning aspects of our metabolism, especially the way we use oxygen to extract energy from food.
FORBES: The First Person to Live to 150 Has Already Been Born--Revisited!
Now, that may not sound too sexy until -- (laughter) -- energy-efficient buildings. (Laughter.) But listen, our homes and our businesses consume 40 percent of the energy we use.
In our nation's buildings -- our homes and our office consume almost 40 percent of the energy we use and contribute almost 40 percent of the carbon pollution that we produce and everybody is talking about right now in Copenhagen.
The latest suggestion is that we should cut taxes on energy at just the same time as we are trying to get everyone to use less energy and substitute with insulation and other, non energy consuming, methods of keeping warm.
We need to use that money for clean energy investment so that we have the industries of the future and we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
And the question is, can we capture that energy and use it in a smart way?
