Elizabeth Esty Quotes

There is no need for nuclear. The world can be powered by wind, water and sun alone.

We will work on maximizing the introduction of energy conservation and renewable energy, while lowering our dependence on nuclear power generation as much as possible.

The history of energy use is a sequence of transitions to sources that are cheaper, cleaner, and more flexible.

With the increasing demand for oil around the world and the rising costs in Oregon and throughout the nation, we must focus on the development of alternate energy sources, especially those that are clean, efficient and renewable.

Nearly all of our existing power sources are generators which use a heat cycle. This includes our coal, oil, and gas fired utilities, our automobiles, trucks, and trains, and even our nuclear fission utility power plants.

Electricity is derived from many non-renewable energy sources like oil, natural gas and coal.

In Congress, I am a strong supporter of the New Apollo Energy Act. This plan would help to establish our energy independence, create jobs, and provide cleaner, reliable, and more affordable energy.

If we don't continue to pursue alternative, emissions-free energy sources like nuclear fuel, we are at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas.

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

I strongly support an 'all-of-the-above' energy policy that includes additional development of wind, clean coal, and bio-fuels.

I'm an advocate for a full spectrum of energy policy, but we're never going to get there with solar cells that are going to power this country.

There is growing demand for renewable energy.

We need to really get very serious about a transition toward new and renewable sources of energy.

If we are to meet the growing electricity demand in the United States without significantly increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, we must maintain a diverse supply of electricity, and nuclear power must be part of that mix.

I support an all of the above energy policy, so that's not only just Keystone, that's not only just drilling, that's clean coal, that's safe nuclear.

In the end, the market will decide which is the better performer: dirty coal-fired power or clean wind and solar. Market-based competition. That doesn't sound like communism to me.

We ought to open up energy innovation across the board and - and remove the barriers to every form of energy.

Even as we work to develop more sources of petroleum for the United States, we must continue our vigorous pursuit of alternative fuels, so that we can be powered by cleaner, more efficient sources of energy.

And we have abundant natural energy resources in the country. We haven't been taking adequate advantage of them, and we can burn coal in a clean way; we could improve the grid.

Try everything. Do everything. Nuclear. Biomass. Coal. Solar. You name it. I support them all.

I think the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable energy.

People say we're running out of energy. That's only true if we stick with these old 19th century technologies. We are awash in energy from the sunlight.

One of the best things that came out of the Carter administration was the energy policy. The best things in it were renewable energy.

Even though I love solar and love wind, like most people do, I like the renewable sources, they alone are not going to get America energy independent.

The total amount of energy we use every year - from coal, oil, natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and everything else - is dwarfed by the amount of solar energy hitting the planet each year.
