Bob Inglis Quotes

Hydrogen holds great promise to meet many of our future energy needs, and it addresses national security and our environmental concerns. Hydrogen is the simplest, most abundant element in the universe.

Since stepping down as laboratory director in 1999, I have devoted an increasing fraction of my time to international issues. I am involved with energy, environment, and sustainability issues, particularly as they involve new energy sources free of greenhouse gases.

Natural gas is the future. It is here.

I don't believe that a hydrogen economy depends on a carbon economy at all.

And when these advances are made, hydrogen can fill critical energy needs beyond transportation. Hydrogen can also be used to heat and generate electricity for our homes. The future possibilities of this energy source are enormous.

Even Silicon Valley investors have put well over a $1 billion in new energy technologies.

Japan is a model already to the lie that economic growth is the key to our future. If they can really show an alternative to nukes and fossil fuels, then they will be the poster boy for the renewable energy for the future.

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

Fuel cell vehicles run on clean-burning hydrogen and are three times more efficient than the traditional combustible engine.

One theme I ran into over and over while writing about the periodic table was the future of energy and the question of which element or elements will replace carbon as king.

This [hydrogen] is the only technology we know of that can change the game

I think the likelihood that combustion will continue to represent the large portion of the power unit world is very small.

The notion that moving toward renewable energy will kill jobs is an absurdity on its face. The notion that we have to live smaller lifestyles; not have the American way of life or give up the American Dream is just ridiculous. It is the opposite of the case; a new energy paradigm will create opportunity.

You have to work with the auto industry, the oil companies, you have to work to develop renewable fuel, whether it's solar or different kinds of fuel or whatever.

I think that the world is in the middle of a huge transition that we have to make to renewable energy. We have to transition away from fossil fuels very, very quickly.

There is a reason it is called fossil fuel-it is an outdated method of getting power.

In the world of energy politics, the sudden vanishing of the word 'coal' is a remarkable and unprecedented event.

Only in the last week, South Carolina announced that it is seeking to become the U. S. center for hydrogen fuel cells, and BMW revealed that it will power some of its high-end model cars with hydrogen.

It seems the EPA has worked hard to devise new regulations that are designed to eliminate coal mining, coal burning, usage of coal.

Natural gas is the one fuel that we have that's affordable, it's scaleable, it can replace coal over time, it can replace imported oil, can create American jobs.

Interestingly, the oil companies know very well that in less than 30 years they will not only be charging very high prices, but that they will be uncompetitive with renewables.

I think the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable energy.

I'm a monomaniac with one goal: clean air from clean energy.

Accelerating the development of hydrogen fuel cells and the infrastructure needed for hydrogen production, delivery, and storage should be a national priority. Hydrogen could fundamentally change the transportation sector in this country and around the world…

I think, in the long run, we have to wean ourselves from a carbon-based economy. We absolutely have to.
