Energy Future Quotes

We owe it to ourselves and to our policy makers to have a high standard of public debate about the future of our energy supplies.

Renewable energy is very significant.

The primary means of energy generation is going to solar. It will at least be a plurality, and probably be a slight majority in the long term.

It is time for a New Direction for our nation's energy policies.

Only when the oil and gas industry has taken full account of, and responsibility for, the impacts of exploring for and extracting fossil fuels can we engage in a serious and worthy evaluation of whether fracking can indeed provide a bridge to a sustainable energy future.

Just as the stone age did not end for lack of stones, the oil age will not end because of a scarcity of oil.

Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future.

Despite its many critics, hydraulic fracturing will change the nature of energy production.

In the near future, despite the development of alternative energy, when you look at the economics and environmental standards, then there's no other source of primary energy in the world than natural gas. Well, perhaps there is nuclear energy but there are also a lot of issues there and there are opponents of nuclear energy. Gas doesn't have those opponents. But there is a country that is, obviously, the world leader in gas reserves. That's our country, the Russian Federation.

Natural gas is the future. It is here.

Forget hydrogen, forget hydrogen, forget hydrogen.

Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.

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

I think the idea of moving to a cleaner energy future and doing more energy efficiency makes smart sense.

The 20th century was the time when the world turned to use of fossil fuels and the 21st century will be the century of the renewables.

Investing in more fossil fuel infrastructure will not strengthen our economy over the long-term, since the market is clearly indicating that clean energy sources are the future.

Thermonuclear fusion is an absolute requirement, for the preservation of the human species.

We need nuclear energy now, and we will need it in the future.

Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods.

I doubt nuclear power will play a much larger role than it does now.

You can't be a first-world economy in the 21st century if you're not on the path to a clean energy future.

The oilsands will be phased out by 2030 or 2035.

We've got to control our own energy. Now, not only oil and natural gas, which we've been investing in; but also, we've got to make sure we're building the energy source of the future, not just thinking about next year, but ten years from now, 20 years from now. That's why we've invested in solar and wind and biofuels, energy efficient cars.
