Rex Tillerson: Zitate auf Englisch

“We have long supported a carbon tax as the best policy of those being considered. Replacing the hodge-podge of current, largely ineffective regulations with a revenue-neutral carbon tax would ensure a uniform and predictable cost of carbon across the economy. It would allow market forces to drive solutions. It would maximize transparency, reduce administrative complexity, promote global participation and easily adjust to future developments in our understanding of climate science as well as the policy consequences of these actions.”

Remark about the "moron" remark. As quoted in [Flegenheimer, Matt, Oct. 4 2017, ‘Petty Nonsense’ of Washington: Tillerson Joins in Thrashing the Capital, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/us/politics/tillerson-trump-moron.html, New York Times, Mar. 20 2018]

“Should the United States seek so-called energy independence in an elusive effort to insulate this country from the impact of world events on the economy, or should Americans pursue the path of international engagement, seeking ways to better compete within the global market for energy? Like the Council's founders, I believe we must choose the course of greater international engagement … The central reality is this: The global free market for energy provides the most effective means of achieving U. S. energy security by promoting resource development, enabling diversification, multiplying our supply channels, encouraging efficiency, and spurring innovation.”
