Renewable energy could reduce emissions but also create jobs and improve public health.
Renewable energy is a clear winner when it comes to boosting the economy and creating jobs.
All renewables, much as I love them, are diffuse. They all have a small power per unit area, and we have to live with that fact.
Where I get my energy is: 'How can I make it better?'
I've spent quite a bit of time working on wind turbines and exploring control systems and photovoltaic and integration system.
I also believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity for the United States and European Union to lead the world in developing and implementing new and more efficient technologies - smart electrical grids and electrical vehicles.
Do you know what my favorite renewable fuel is? An ecosystem for innovation.
Renewables are critical in our fight against climate change.
I want to see us move from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable economy - if not in my lifetime, then in the lifetime of my children.
What we are investing in, from a generation standpoint, are renewables and natural gas.
Unquestionably, major transformation of the way the U.K. generates its heat and power is essential.
Western countries can cut down coal and replace it by renewables; I will need to have more coal.
We're very committed... to make sure the energy that we are delivering to our customers is as clean as it can be.
If you have a carbon cap and trade system, there'd be an agreed-to limit the amount of carbon we emit. That changes the economic picture for fossil technologies and for the renewable technologies. It makes the renewable technologies more attractive and the fossils less attractive.
We cannot rely on imported fuels forever, and we aim to replace traditional oil and gas boiler systems with products which are much more efficient.
The more traditional fuel sources we have relied on as a nation - coal, oil, and natural gas - I'm hoping they can allow us the financial springboard to move to the next generation of energy sources: renewables and alternatives.
The more nature and stuff, the better. The source of our power comes from nature, and the closer to nature you are, the more you can power up.
