January 2, 2008Bill Richardson on climate changeCitizens for Global Solutions: I do support U.S. participation in binding international climate agreements. It is time for us to work with other nations, bilaterally and multilaterally, to create new treaties and agreements—stronger than Kyoto—as well as financing structures, that will change the world’s energy and climate policies as well as our own. Bill Richardson on nuclear weaponsCitizens for Global Solutions: I was Energy Secretary under President Clinton. My department was responsible for the design, manufacture, and maintenance of our stockpile of nuclear weapons. These weapons are not abstractions to me: to see one of them is to be astounded that millions of deaths can be compressed into such a tiny package. To know intimately our nuclear arsenal is to know intimately how our species could destroy itself. Under my administration, we will lead the world toward the reduction of nuclear arsenals, not their augmentation. |
