Jens Martin Skibsted Quotes

Taxi drivers up and down the country are at the vanguard of the electric vehicle revolution.

We want to encourage a move away from polluting vehicles, aiming to ban new diesel and petrol cars by 2030, and expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

We must get rid of fossil fuels by developing injection systems for automobiles, which can run on bio-fuel.

I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else.

If you had a carbon tax, you'd have less cars and more bicycles, more people getting around on foot and by public transport.

I love driving. I still drive a 1993 Toyota Camry. I do want to get an electric car, but it's less of a carbon footprint if you keep your old, fuel-efficient car on the road than if you say 'build me a whole new car.'

I don't believe - till something radical changes that we are not on track to do - that hybrids are material to climate change. They're fashionable, everybody loves them, the Prius is selling well, but so are Gucci bags. But they don't impact the way the world carries stuff. You know it's a fashion statement.

Environmentally friendly cars will soon cease to be an option...they will become a necessity.

People will buy a good electrical car instead of buying a fossil-fuel one, and you get a much better standard of car.

I do try to reduce my carbon footprint a little bit by travelling around London on my electric bike. A lot of people raise their eyebrows but I love riding it.

We need to improve our public transportation and invest in physical infrastructure changes so that people can safely choose alternatives to driving like walking, riding a bike or even, yes, electric scooters.

If you are planning to save the planet, it will not be Tesla that will do it, since only a finite number of people can afford to buy one, even a $35,000 Model 3.

Cities are where the climate battle will be won or lost.

How people move around their city is a big deal. It affects productivity, security, health, and global warming, among other things.

More coal-to-liquid means more energy and a stronger economy.

Chinese emissions are a problem not just for its own people but also for the world. It has now overtaken the U.S. as the biggest carbon emitter; most of the coal that is burned anywhere on Earth is burned in China.

Gas consumption is growing everywhere.

The U.S. limits mercury, arsenic, and soot from power plants. Yet, astonishingly, there are no national limits on how much carbon pollution these plants can dump into our atmosphere.

People realised this is real pollution; it is not fog. Now everyone has to face the data and come out of their comfort zone.

The challenge of global warming should stimulate a whole raft of manifestly benign innovations - for conserving energy and generating it by 'clean' means (biofuels, innovative renewables, carbon sequestration, and nuclear fusion).

It's fine if you're making 1,000 or 2,000 of an electric car, and I think there is value in that in a lot of ways, but it's not going to have a big dent in oil consumption in the country, or CO2 emissions.

I've actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don't mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.

The major source of photochemical smog - petroleum-fueled vehicles - can be replaced by emission-free electric vehicles.

Americans welcome carbon limits because they want to protect their families from harm.

Greenhouse gas pollution, through its contribution to global climate change, presents a significant threat to Americans' health and to the environment upon which our economy and security depends.
