Josh Fox Quotes

If oil companies were to invest their high profits into alternative fuel research it will help America move toward new forms of energy.

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

You could power America with renewables from a technical and economic standpoint. The biggest obstacles are social and political - what you need is the will to do it.

A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.

Natural gas is the future. It is here.

We all know that we have to get off of fossil fuels. And we know that the world is going in that direction. And we have to do it fast.

There's 20 companies that I have investments in - some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.

Now we've got to accelerate the transition away from dirty energy. Rather than subsidize the past, we should invest in the future - especially in communities that rely on fossil fuels. That's why I'm going to push to change the way we manage our oil and coal resources, so that they better reflect the costs they impose on taxpayers and our planet.

We must move away from our dependency on fossil fuels, and I am glad that GM has invested over $1 billion in hydrogen fuel cells cars to meet this goal.

Renewable energy is a clear winner when it comes to boosting the economy and creating jobs.

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.

There is growing demand for renewable energy.

What we are investing in, from a generation standpoint, are renewables and natural gas.

There is no justifiable reason why our electricity, heating and cooling and transportation needs aren't powered by 100 percent renewable energy.

If there was ever a state that can transition to renewables and then get it on the market, it's us.

As governor, I'll work to make New Mexico a national leader in clean energy by moving to renewable energies such as solar and wind and through innovative, smart policy and practices such as methane mitigation.

Whether you're a banker or a botanist - the economic benefits of a clean energy revolution are compelling.

The angry men know that this golden age (of fossil fuels) has gone; but they cannot find the words for the constraints they hate. Clutching their copies of Atlas Shrugged, they flail around, accusing those who would impede them of communism, fascism, religiosity, misanthropy, but knowing at heart that these restrictions are driven by something far more repulsive to the unrestrained man: the decencies we owe to other human beings.

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.

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

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.

Well, for starters, we have to do more to create demand for new technologies that can reduce our dependence on foreign oil and environmental degradation.

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.

We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources.

If it's in people's interest to invest in renewables and invest in clean technologies, I'm convinced it will happen.
