The New York Times's Interview With Dan Goldman

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : The best way to be energy independent is to invest in renewable energy that we create here.
62% : Well, we talked about renewable energy.
62% : I strongly believe in incentives and subsidies to encourage private corporations to invest in renewable energy.
61% : I think we can do something similar with renewable energy, which Democrats -- we want for climate purposes, for job purposes.
53% : On the other hand, I look at renewable energy as one thing that we might be able to figure out a creative compromise for -- not dissimilar to mass incarceration, where Democrats pushed for it for a long time, Republicans resisted it because of their tough-on-crime stance.
53% : [The Senate passed the climate, health and tax bill on Aug. 7 and the House on Aug. 12, both after this interview took place.]
48% : But I've been thinking very seriously and aggressively about how the federal government can increase access to abortion.
46% : And my views on choice and abortion is that it is unequivocally 100 percent a woman's right to choose.
45% : But you told a local news outlet that you would not object to a state law banning abortion after the point of fetal viability, and in cases where there was no threat to the life of the woman and the fetus is viable.
44% : I think he was asking a much more normative question on what my views are on abortion.
43% : Before we were talking about some of the different ways that I will fight to expand access to abortion.
42% : I have been committed to social justice, to criminal justice reform.
36% : You later said that you misspoke and that you do not support restrictions on abortion.
31% : And three is to lease federal lands to medical providers or others that can provide services to women in the states where abortion is banned.
