David Cameron Quotes

If I were emperor of the world, I would put the pedal to the floor on energy efficiency and conservation for the next decade.

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.

The question of energy is an important one. The big issue is how to get it, how not to destroy the environment, and how to survive as a species. It's a big deal.

We won’t conserve our way to energy independence.

The cheapest and cleanest energy is the energy you don't use.

The challenge of weaning ourselves off fossil fuel even as it becomes more abundant will make the old fights about energy conservation seem like child's play.

Higher energy prices are requiring industry and commerce to examine the costs and efficiency of energy use.

We don't have all the time in the world with oil. We have to use oil while it makes sense to do so.

There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance.

Energy and time are finite resources; conserving them is very important.

Energy will be the immediate test of our ability to unite this Nation, and it can also be the standard around which we rally. On the battlefield of energy we can win for our Nation a new confidence, and we can seize control again of our common destiny.

Dirty energy is a finite resource; the more of it we use, the scarcer it becomes.

We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now we can control our future instead of letting the future control us.

The cheapest energy is the energy you don't use in the first place.

People forget: solar panels don't put themselves up. Wind turbines don't manufacture themselves. Businesses don't retrofit themselves to waste less energy and water, nor do homes weatherize themselves.

We'll always need energy. We need to communicate, too, but we're not stuck with hand gestures and smoke signals. There are better ways to power our future than by digging fossil fuel from the ground and setting it on fire.

Smart development invests in insulation, efficient cars, and ever-renewed sources of energy. Dumb growth crashes around looking for more oil.

Energy consumption matters both to our environment and our economy.

Here are the facts we confront. No one is against conservation. No one is against alternative fuel sources.

There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels.

Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.

The more energy-efficient we become as a nation, the less we need to develop additional energy sources.

Energy-saving technologies keep improving faster than they're applied, so efficiency is an ever larger and cheaper resource.

Our society, our culture - the greatness of America - goes hand-in-hand with energy, and our leaders need to wake up. We need energy, OK?

What we need to do is really improve energy efficiency standards, develop in full scale renewable and alternative energy and use the one resource we have in abundance, our creativity.
