Renewable
energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will
be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new
energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new
technologies and methods.
-- Jay Inslee
We
had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit
of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary
environmental policy and energy policy in this country.

What
do oil company executives, vampires and NASA bureaucrats all have in common? They
fear solar energy.

I want
to see us to explore outer space. But I want to do it safely, without the loss
of human life, and democratically: where is the free-wheeling debate on this question?
Only one force can stop this mission: the will of the American people. They have
not been asked. Do they want to endanger their loved ones, their industry with
this launch? One force is more powerful than plutonium, the spirit of the American
people united."

"Solar
is cost effective right now. When you consider the cost to our health from air
pollution, solar is just as competitive as any other energy source."
~ Thomas
P. Kay
Right
now, other frightening imperatives have distracted us so far from the program
of benevolence toward our planet that it seems we might just try to burn the whole
world for fuel to keep ourselves guarded and cozy. But that is not the expressed
will of our people. Most of us do understand, when we can calm down and think
clearly, that whether we are at peace or at war, the lives that hang in the balance
are not just ours but the millions more that create the support system and biological
context for humanity. More and more of us are listening for the silent alarm,
stopping in our tracks, wishing to salvage the parts of this earth we haven’t
yet wrecked.

It

"Rely
on renewable energy flows that are always there whether we use them or not, such
as, sun, wind and vegetation: on energy income, not depletable energy capital."
~ Amory Lovins
Drilling
in the Refuge is completely unnecessary when we could improve the average fuel
economy of cars, minivans and SUV's by just 3 miles a gallon and save more oil
within 10 years than we could ever produce from the Arctic Refuge…

Breaking
America's oil addiction would not lead to a future of sackcloth and ashes.

The
use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own
the sun.
~ Ralph Nader

Federal policy over
the past century has largely failed to promote an energy system based on safe,
secure, economically affordable, and environmentally benign energy sources. The
tax code, budget appropriations, and regulatory processes overwhelmingly have
been used to subsidize dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear power. The result:
increased sickness and premature deaths, depleted family budgets, acid rain destruction
of lakes, forests, and crops, oil spill contamination, polluted rivers and loss
of aquatic species and the long-term peril of climate change and radioactive waste
dumps–not to mention a dependency on external energy supplies.

"I
see this [biodiesel] as a way for the farmer to grow fuel and food and put him
back in business again"

We
believe that part of the answer lies in pricing energy on the basis of its full
costs to society. One reason we use energy so lavishly today is that the price
of energy does not include all of the social costs of producing it. The costs
incurred in protecting the environment and the health and safety of workers, for
example, are part of the real costs of producing energy—but they are not now all
included in the price of the product.
-- Richard Nixon

I
believe that the U.S. can and should be a global leader in the development of
alternative energy sources...
