"We chose to go to the MOON, and we WENT to the moon. Now, WE CHOOSE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!"

"We choose energy independence, within a decade, not because it's easy, but because it's hard, because THAT goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because THAT challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win!"

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, within a decade, of making EVERY HUMAN BEING ENERGY INDEPENDENT. No single project will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for our immediate and long-range future. And none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish."

"And to reach that goal, WE CHOOSE HYDROGEN, the most POWERFUL, AND most PLENTIFUL element in the universe. It will provide EVERY HUMAN BEING with UNLIMITED ENERGY, including for HEAT, ELECTRICITY, and TRANSPORTATION. And with the technology in place, it will COST LITTLE MORE THAN WATER."

"And hydrogen is CLEAN ... NO SMOKE, NO RADIATION, NO GLOBAL WARMING. And we'll NEVER again need a middleman or a distribution system to get our energy, because EVERY ONE WILL GENERATE THEIR OWN ENERGY. And we'll NEVER again need to protect our energy source with our PRECIOUS soldiers."

"All of this will save TRILLIONS of dollars, EVERY DECADE, QUICKLY moving the WORLD toward UNIMAGINED WEALTH. AND the reasons for MOST WARS, AND TERRORISM, WILL BE ELIMINATED!"

"HYDROGEN is our ULTIMATE energy source, whether in one, or a hundred decades from now, and WE CHOOSE IT NOW!"

"WE CHOOSE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, NOW, for EVERY ONE!"
