environmentally friendly energy Quotes

Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.

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.

Clean energy is hippy power. But its also cowboy power, it's rancher power, it's Appalachian power.

Biofuels are the future of energy in this nation and around the world

Cleaner, more sustainable energy is possible and can transform our lives, our economies, and our planet.

Clean energy independence should be an area of common ground.

I don't think America can just drill itself out of its current energy situation. We don't need to destroy the environment to meet our energy needs. We need smart, comprehensive, common-sense approaches that balance the need to increase domestic energy supplies with the need to maximize energy efficiency.

It's very important that we expand our use of clean energy and make a long-term commitment to it.

Art can play a major role. I look at art as an alternative source of energy, the same way we might look at wind or solar or lithium batteries.

I sat there for several moments, trying to decide how best I should respond. None of the advice I'd gotten from the books or my friends really prepared me for how to handle discussions about alternative energy sources. One of the books - one I'd chosen not to finish - had a decidedly male-centric view that said women should always make men feel important on dates. I suspected that Kristin and Julia's advice right now would have been to laugh and toss my hair - and not let the discussion progress. But I just couldn't do that. "You're wrong," I said.

...it is true that renewable energy is expensive and can't be done without public sector support, it is an important investment in the future.

I'm all for alternative forms of energy, including wind, including solar, et cetera. But we need much more than wind and solar.

Solar power seems to be truly bipartisan in its appeal.

We could do some household and neighborhood or town wind energy. But even this will run up eventually against the problem of needing an underlying fossil fuel economy to fabricate the hardware. Same with photovoltaic (solar) energy. We're going to be disappointed by what these things can do for us.

Some of our businesses use more energy than others, but our strategy everywhere is the same... first, reduce our use of energy as much as possible. Then, switch to renewable sources of power where it makes economic sense... And, over time, as a last resort, offset the emissions we can't avoid.
