Debra L. Reed Quotes

Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.

Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days.

If we got more efficient with electric grid capacity, we would substantially reduce our carbon footprint, and people would be likely to copy us.

Let's learn to consume the least amount of energy possible.

The consumption of petroleum should be conserved. We need to adopt some austerity measures. The people should cooperate with us.

I was writing a book about sustainable energy, and a friend asked me, 'Well, how much energy do you use at home?' And I was embarrassed. I didn't actually know.

Preventing global warming from becoming a planetary catastrophe may take something even more drastic than renewable energy, superefficient urban design, and global carbon taxes.

We need to bring sustainable energy to every corner of the globe with technologies like solar energy mini-grids, solar powered lights, and wind turbines.

I have been working for years to promote a responsible energy policy that works to increase energy efficiency and invest in alternative and renewable energy sources.

The amount of energy saved by switching off the phone charger is exactly the same as the energy used by driving an average car for one second.

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.

Industry looks at research and development for energy efficiency, lowering material costs, so on and so forth.

Technology has given us this wonderful opportunity to have low energy costs. We have to seize that, rather than keep debating and discussing and fighting over it.

Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.

I also want to thank Arizona citizens for their efforts at conserving energy last summer.

Conservation of energy also protects our environment.

Just refrigerator efficiency saves more energy than all that we're generating from renewables, excluding hydroelectric power... I cannot impress upon you how important energy efficiency is.

Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.

People want smart energy policy.

Because of climate changes, it's not just a question of producing energy. It's a question of producing energy in a way that we can live with in the long term. If you look at the available pieces, from conservation to nuclear, solar, whatever, and you put them all together, we can't do it.

The road to energy efficiency is, in theory, a sustainability sweepstake. More efficiency means that less fuel is required to generate a given amount of energy, which in turn means lower costs for the provider and cheaper prices for the customers.

I always thought that using more efficient energy sources, pushing the clean energy technologies such as renewable energies are important.

We are strong supporters of energy efficiency. The question is: what is the most appropriate way of doing it?

As each country looks to meet their emissions reduction, energy efficiency, or renewable energy goals, they will look to cities as places where transformational change can make the most difference.

Energy conservation is a responsibility that falls on every country and individual.
