Bill Gates Quotes

If we're going to be serious about decarbonizing the bulk-power system, nuclear has to be part of the conversation.

People say they are inventing electric cars. Well, where is the electricity coming from? Flowers? Maybe someday. But what is available now is oil and gas.

Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.

In order to be vigorously continued, nuclear power must be profoundly modified.

I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue.

I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.

There's 20 companies that I have investments in - some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.

Japan is a model already to the lie that economic growth is the key to our future. If they can really show an alternative to nukes and fossil fuels, then they will be the poster boy for the renewable energy for the future.

I want to work hard toward my goal that there will be zero nuclear power generation.

We need fuel diversity as far as the generation of electricity because you can only get so much natural gas through the pipelines.

I support strongly the expansion of nuclear power because that is one of the key ways of getting electricity generated and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Neglecting clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and especially nuclear, can result in blackouts, increased power bills, and will take a heavy toll on our efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.

One of the things that we have to realize is we cannot get off gas, we cannot get off oil, fossil fuels tomorrow - it's going to take a few decades. Maybe we can shorten it, but there's going to have to be a transition time.

You've got to move us to these technologies that allow us to get to the clean-energy source. If we can't work to reduce the cost, you're not going to see them implemented unless there is a path of unlimited subsidies, and that's not doable, either. We can kick-start the research process, but we have to do that from a position of economic strength.

The sun doesn't shine at night, and wind power is highly variable. To meet our emissions goals, we're going to have to grasp every arrow in the quiver, and nuclear is one of those arrows.

With the huge benefits of investing in renewables, energy efficiency and demand reduction becoming ever more obvious, it's clear that there needs to be far greater scrutiny of the policy decisions that are propelling Britain towards a nuclear future.

Nuclear represents a significant low-carbon opportunity. The electricity it produces is green and reliable.

Unquestionably, major transformation of the way the U.K. generates its heat and power is essential.

I am one of those from the green movement who recognises the low carbon benefits of nuclear generation.

I believe that nuclear needs to be a part of the solution if the U.S. really wants to be aggressive about reducing carbon.

Renewable energy is an essential part of our strategy of decarbonization, decentralization, as well as digitalization of energy.

As governor, I'll work to make New Mexico a national leader in clean energy by moving to renewable energies such as solar and wind and through innovative, smart policy and practices such as methane mitigation.

Most of the energy consumed is for heating, cooling, and transport. By massively deploying green gas, we could decarbonize all that.

Whether you're a banker or a botanist - the economic benefits of a clean energy revolution are compelling.

I will work for energy policies that recognize oil won't last forever.
