I'm really struggling for words right now

We have to be practical and recognize that no one wants guns to be in the hands of people who are legally prohibited from owning or possessing them ... It is a false choice to suggest that one is either in favor of the Second Amendment or in favor of reasonable gun safety rules. We can be both.

There are large numbers of people who have totally given up looking for work ... That’s a concern for us as a society.

It’s great to be able to report that we are able to make such progress in the unemployment rate

I started straightaway up that climb. You just had to dig deep there. The climb up to the finish was hard. There was a couple of little downhills that you could kind of soft-pedal and catch your breath a little bit.

There was really no place that you could hold back

It was a perfect climb because it was steep straight away, and the speed dropped very fast. I took advantage of the speed being low and changed

It was a steep climb, I think for me maybe too steep for the time trial bike, the gearing was more suitable on the road bike

I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I'm ready to win, and I think it's about time

Outlawing a safe and effective technology in the absence of any scientific or other evidence that it has caused harm to the environment will deprive...the state its opportunity to thrive, and that is neither thoughtful nor sound energy policy.

California is on the brink of an energy and economic renaissance

You look at the sentiment of Californians about global warming and moving to renewables and you see how fracking is a hindrance to that.

There is a new interest in regulating fracking this [legislative] session because the people are demanding it

As the threat of fracking pollution to our air and water becomes clear, there’s huge momentum in the legislature to halt this dangerous practice

For 20 years, California did not fully implement Motor Voter. With SB 35, we have a streamlined opportunity to register millions of eligible Californians when they apply for benefits, not just through Covered California, but in over a dozen state agencies that offer public services in offices throughout the state

Increasing voter registration strengthens our democracy. Nearly 5.8 million Californians who are otherwise eligible to vote are not registered

I was going entirely off fuel.

That amounts to an extra 16,800 gallons a day. Or what one big gas station can produce—big deal
