Alternative Energy Sources Quotes

I've been told that I have a lot of energy. The secret is that I use renewable resources. Some days I'm solar powered. Some days I'm wind powered. And some people in this room might think I'm hybrid gas-powered. You'll just have to guess which it is today.

Natural gas obviously brings with it a number of quality-of-life environmental benefits because it is a relatively clean-burning fuel. It has a CO2 footprint, but it has no particulates. It has none of the other emissions elements that are of concern to public health that other forms of power-generation fuels do have: coal, fuel oil, others.

Energy independence is very important to me.

We owe it to ourselves and to our policy makers to have a high standard of public debate about the future of our energy supplies.

Here's what we should be doing. We've got to get off fossil fuels.

Drilling in ANWR fails to lower energy prices today and sets no long term energy strategy for tomorrow.

The earth is warming at an alarming rate, we are running out of fossil fuels, and it is long past time for us to take action to correct these problems.

Engineers are behind the cars we drive, the pills we pop and the way we power our homes.

Energy independence and energy security are really two different things.

I think a lot about the Department of Energy. If I were the head of it, I would close it down.

You gotta realize that the whole fiasco of the environment, all this global warming hocus-pocus - which the only thing it's done is made Al Gore a multi-millionaire - but, what it's done is, it has been used as a way to curtail growth, to destroy the growth, exploration.

For example, in my own State of Arizona, an Israeli scientist is working with an Arizona company on a demonstration project involving a very fast-growing algae which can be used to power a biomass energy plan.

Solar energy is bound to be in our future. There's a kind of inevitability about it.

If we had a hydrogen economy worldwide, every nation on earth could create its own energy source to support its economy, and the threat of war over diminishing resources would just evaporate.

There's not going to be any one replacement for oil: we need to have hundreds of solutions to this global issue.

I strongly support an 'all-of-the-above' energy policy that includes additional development of wind, clean coal, and bio-fuels.

Unlike a 'fracking ban,' the Fossil Energy Research bill would actually help us combat climate change.

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.

Not all the coal that is dug warms the world.

I certainly would like to see the war on coal come to an end.

Why would you want to shut down a nuclear plant, which requires at most about 1 square mile of land, to replace that power source with windmills, which would require 300 square miles of land to be paved over?

It is time for a New Direction for our nation's energy policies.

When the sun is sending more energy to earth in one hour than the entire world consumes in a year, any political play to undermine our ability to harness this energy effectively and efficiently is clearly not economical but it's also unethical.

As a scientist, I clearly see the potential for harnessing the power of nature.

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.
