The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia. ~ James Hansen
Fossil Fuel quotes by James Hansen
Obviously, nu-que-lar power is, uh, a renewable source of energy, and the less demand there is for non-renewable sources of energy, like fossil fuels, the better it off it is for the American people. ~ George W. Bush
Fossil Fuel quotes by George W. Bush
The fossil fuel industry commands outsize sway over U.S. politics, markets, and democracy. I knew these companies were formidable, but when I served on the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, I got a close up view of how the industry disregards government safeguards. ~ Frances Beinecke
Fossil Fuel quotes by Frances Beinecke
I think a revolution transitioning from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy - somebody's going to be the 21st-century clean-energy superpower. ~ Hillary Clinton
Fossil Fuel quotes by Hillary Clinton
What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet. ~ James Hansen
Fossil Fuel quotes by James Hansen
From the perspective of a fossil fuel company, going after these high-risk carbon deposits is not a matter of choice - it is its fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, who insist on earning the same kinds of mega-profits next year as they did this year and last year. And yet fulfilling that fiduciary responsibility virtually guarantees that the planet will cook. ~ Naomi Klein
Fossil Fuel quotes by Naomi Klein
All of the economic signals in the marketplace are essentially subsidizing the use of dirty fossil fuels and penalizing clean energy. There's really only one entity in society that can solve that problem, and that is government. And the air is a scarce resource. ~ Jay Inslee
Fossil Fuel quotes by Jay Inslee
Here's what we should be doing. We've got to get off fossil fuels. ~ Lee Iacocca
Fossil Fuel quotes by Lee Iacocca
The food industry burns nearly a fifth of all the petroleum consumed in the United States (about as much as automobiles do). Today it takes between seven and ten calories of fossil fuel energy to deliver one calorie of food energy to an American plate. ~ Michael Pollan
Fossil Fuel quotes by Michael Pollan
These things are happening in large measure because of us. We in this country burn 25 percent of the world's fossil fuel, create 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide. It is us - it is the affluent lifestyles that we lead that overwhelmingly contribute to this problem. And to call it a problem is to understate what it really is. Which is a crime. Crime against the poorest and most marginalized people on this planet. We've never figured out, though God knows we've tried, a more effective way to destroy their lives. ~ Bill McKibben
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill McKibben
Nuclear power, once regarded as petroleum's natural heir, has become less and less attractive as its numerous drawbacks come to light. Coal, the other fossil fuel, is ultimately as exhaustible as oil. ~ Lester R. Brown
Fossil Fuel quotes by Lester R. Brown
We should be increasing research and development into our fossil fuel program. ~ Tim Holden
Fossil Fuel quotes by Tim Holden
We are fossil fuel addicts. What happens when drug addicts detox? They can be rash, cranky, even psychotic and dangerous. It would be good for the environment if the entire economy abruptly quit fossil fuels, but that's not realistic. I wouldn't want to be around if it ever happened. Perhaps it's best to think of natural gas like methadone. It's a way for an energy addicted society to get off dirtier fuels and smooth out the detox bumps. ~ Russell Gold
Fossil Fuel quotes by Russell Gold
I suggest that this is a good time to think soberly about our responsibilities to our descendents - those who will ring out the Fossil Fuel Age. Our greatest responsibility, as parents and as citizens, is to give America's youngsters the best possible education. We need the best teachers and enough of them to prepare our young people for a future immeasurably more complex than the present, and calling for ever larger numbers of competent and highly trained men and women. ~ Hyman Rickover
Fossil Fuel quotes by Hyman Rickover
What's it like to envision the ten-thousand-year environmental impact of tossing a plastic bottle into the trash bin, all in the single second it takes to actually toss it? Or the ten-thousand-year history of the fossil fuel being burned to drive to work or iron a shirt? It may be environmentally progressive, but it's not altogether pleasant. ~ Douglas Rushkoff
Fossil Fuel quotes by Douglas Rushkoff
We must proceed with our own energy development. Exploitation of domestic petroleum and natural gas potentialities, along with nuclear, solar, geothermal, and non-fossil fuels is vital. We will never again permit any foreign nation to have Uncle Sam over a barrel of oil. ~ Gerald R. Ford
Fossil Fuel quotes by Gerald R. Ford
Most Republicans are not prepared to stand up to the fossil fuel industry because they get a lot of their campaign funds from the Koch brothers and other people in the fossil fuel industry. That tells me why we have to reform our campaign finance system. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
We can combat climate change effectively. What we are lacking now is not the brain power, not the knowledge, not the technology. What we are lacking is the political will power, and we need your help by the millions to tell Congress to stop worrying about their fossil fuel contributors to their campaigns and worry about their kids and grandchildren. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
It makes no sense to invest in [fossil fuel] companies that undermine our future ~ Desmond Tutu
Fossil Fuel quotes by Desmond Tutu
If your child gets asthma, the fossil fuel industry doesn't pay. Or if there's a natural disaster, the bill is paid by the taxpayer, not the fossil fuel company. ~ James Hansen
Fossil Fuel quotes by James Hansen
I know just enough about thermodynamics to understand that if it takes too much fossil-fuel energy to create ethanol, that's a very stupid way to solve an energy problem. ~ Charlie Munger
Fossil Fuel quotes by Charlie Munger
The worst thing we can do as a nation is taking the easy way out. If you start opening up offshore drilling, then you are buying time and you are not addressing the fundamental problem with fossil fuels. ~ Joe Biden
Fossil Fuel quotes by Joe Biden
Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them. ~ Josh Fox
Fossil Fuel quotes by Josh Fox
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. ~ Josh Fox
Fossil Fuel quotes by Josh Fox
Every candidate running for president has got to answer the following very simple question: At a time when we need to address the planetary crisis of climate change, and transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainability, should we continue to give $135 billion in tax breaks and subsidies over the next decade to fossil fuel companies? ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
People get their benefits as individuals but we all pay the cost together, same as the doomed mice of Gough island. The problem is not just fossil fuel emissions either, humans are killing rhinos, elephants, gorillas, and countless other endangered animals for no reason other than to make a few bucks. Put another way, those of us in the Western world have allowed things to get so unfair that while I stop at a Star Bucks drive-through on the way home to get a fifth of my daily required calories from a sugar-filled ice drink, someone on the other side of the world is eating an endangered fruit bat because they have no other way to get their protein. That is where acting naturally has gotten humans so far. ~ Dan Riskin
Fossil Fuel quotes by Dan Riskin
I am grateful to the fossil fuel industry for bringing us the concentrated carbon that took us through the Industrial Revolution and through the technological revolution and brought us to the gateway of the renewable energy revolution, or what I call the sunlight revolution. But that is where we must part ways. It's the natural order. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mark Ruffalo
When you think about the current present value of the fossil fuel reserves that are on the books, the current fossil fuel companies, the last time that that much wealth was at stake was when the South fought the Civil War, ~ Chris Hayes
Fossil Fuel quotes by Chris Hayes
Can you taste it Bruce? Can you taste the filth, the dirt, the oily blackness of that fossil fuel in our mouth as you choke and gag and spit it out? Do you still hear his voice in your head urging you to eat? Eat, eat eat. Your mother's cries. Do you hear them? You should be Bruce. Because I know that it's never left you alone. Now you can eat what you want to eat. For me, for you, for all the others. Now you can consume to your heart's content or your soul's destruction, whichever comes first. So eat. ~ Irvine Welsh
Fossil Fuel quotes by Irvine Welsh
We have already used more than half of that budget. This means that three quarters of the fossil fuel reserves need to stay in the ground, and the fossil fuels we do use must be utilized sparingly and responsibly. ~ Christiana Figueres
Fossil Fuel quotes by Christiana Figueres
In hunter-gatherer times, [the amount of energy human beings use each day] was about 2,500 calories, all of it food. That is the daily energy intake of a common dolphin. A modern human being uses 31,000 calories a day, most of it in the form of fossil fuel. That is the intake of a pilot whale. And the average American uses six times that-as much as a sperm whale. We have become, in other words, different from the people we used to be.... We've ... gotten bigger. We appear to be the same species, with stomachs of the same size, but we aren't.1o ~ Daniel Bodansky
Fossil Fuel quotes by Daniel Bodansky
Subsidies for the oil, gas and coal industries are projected to cost taxpayers more than $135 billion in the coming decade. At a time when scientists tell us we need to reduce carbon pollution to prevent catastrophic climate change, it is absurd to provide massive subsidies that pad fossil-fuel companies' already enormous profits. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
Just 8% of the $409bn spent on fossil-fuel subsidies in 2010 went to the poorest 20% of the population. ~ Fatih Birol
Fossil Fuel quotes by Fatih Birol
Renewable energy fits well into the conservative mindset by allowing competition into the energy markets so that consumers have choice. The system as it is, with big utilities monopolizing the energy playing field or fossil fuel energy being given massive subsidies so that they are on a kind of corporate welfare, is the antithesis of conservative principles. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mark Ruffalo
The fossil-fuel-based development model has not benefitted all people and those who have benefitted least are now suffering great harm in the face of climate change. ~ Mary Robinson
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mary Robinson
We don't know how to use energy or what to use it for. And we cannot restrain ourselves. Our time is characterized as much by the abuse and waste of human energy as it is by the abuse and waste of fossil fuel energy. ~ Wendell Berry
Fossil Fuel quotes by Wendell Berry
If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them we still dig fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Fossil Fuel quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Britain has squandered its windfall of natural resources from North Sea oil and gas. Instead of prudently investing the 'unearned income' from nature, to build a safe, clean and green energy supply for the nation, we face unnecessary shortages. But there is still a chance to put the proceeds from liquidating our fossil fuel assets to better and more appropriate use. Instead of oil companies profiteering from climate change and oil depletion, a windfall tax could establish an Oil Legacy Fund to pay for Britain's urgent transition to a sustainable, decentralised energy system ~ Andrew Simms
Fossil Fuel quotes by Andrew Simms
Burning fossil fuels has given us the gift of seeing ourselves in new ways. But that very gift now enables us to see we've got to change our ways. ~ Sylvia Earle
Fossil Fuel quotes by Sylvia Earle
I oppose the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. It's an ill-conceived project that would lock us into further dependence on some of the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Fossil Fuel quotes by Elizabeth Warren
The 1,230 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power generating capacity in place at the end of 2009 now constitutes just over 25 percent of total generating capacity worldwide. This is over three times nuclear generating capacity and roughly 38 percent of the capacity of fossil fuel-burning power plants worldwide. ~ Christopher Flavin
Fossil Fuel quotes by Christopher Flavin
When we burn fossil fuel for energy we are, in qualitative terms, doing nothing more wrong than burning wood. Our wrongdoing, if that is an appropriate term, is taking energy from Gaia hundreds of times faster than it is naturally made available. We are sinning in a quantitative not a qualitative way. ~ James E. Lovelock
Fossil Fuel quotes by James E. Lovelock
We've got to alter our fossil fuel dependence and go to other energy sources. ~ Sylvia Earle
Fossil Fuel quotes by Sylvia Earle
So many people are on the front lines of this fossil fuel frenzy. It is infused with a sense of urgency. ~ Avi Lewis
Fossil Fuel quotes by Avi Lewis
if fossil fuel companies are going to help pay for the shift to renewable energy, and for the broader costs of a climate destabilized by their pollution, it will be because they are forced to do so by law. ~ Naomi Klein
Fossil Fuel quotes by Naomi Klein
The reality is that we are going to have problems with water in this century. And the fact that we are going to have problems with fossil fuel is a given. ~ Henry Rollins
Fossil Fuel quotes by Henry Rollins
We only gain collectively by acting now. We gain by one day not having to pay a thing for fuel. We gain by having cleaner air, water, and food so that we are healthier and our health care costs come down. We gain by deflating the global fossil fuel markets that drive much of the conflict around the world. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mark Ruffalo
There is a reason it is called fossil fuel-it is an outdated method of getting power. ~ Alexandra Paul
Fossil Fuel quotes by Alexandra Paul
No matter what else happens, this is the century in which we must learn to live without fossil fuel. ~ David Goodstein
Fossil Fuel quotes by David Goodstein
The choice before us is simple. Will we continue to subsidize the dirty fossil fuels of the past, or will we transition to 21st century clean, renewable energy. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Fossil Fuel quotes by Elizabeth Warren
Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance. ~ Margaret Mead
Fossil Fuel quotes by Margaret Mead
The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril. There may still be disputes about exactly how much we're contributing to the warming of the earth's atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring, but what we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return. And unless we free ourselves from a dependence on these fossil fuels and chart a new course on energy in this country, we are condemning future generations to global catastrophe. ~ Barack Obama
Fossil Fuel quotes by Barack Obama
From a shamanic perspective, the psychic blockade that prevents otherwise intelligent adults from considering the future of our world - our obvious lack of future, if we continue on our present path - reveals an occult dimension. It is like a programming error written into the software designed for the modern mind, which has endless energy to spend on the trivial and treacly, sports statistic or shoe sale, but no time to spare for the torments of the Third World, for the mass extinction of species to perpetuate a way of life without a future, for the imminent exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves, or for the fine print of the Patriot Act. This psychic blockade is reinforced by a vast propaganda machine spewing out crude as well as sophisticated distractions, encouraging individuals to see themselves as alienated spectators of their culture, rather than active participants in a planetary ecology. ~ Daniel Pinchbeck
Fossil Fuel quotes by Daniel Pinchbeck
I hold a vision of this blue green planet, safe and in balance. At the end of the Fossil Fuel Era, we are emerging to a new reality. We are ready to make the next leap - as momentous as abolishing slavery or giving women the vote. ~ Elizabeth May
Fossil Fuel quotes by Elizabeth May
For us hunting wasn't a sport. It was a way to be intimate with nature, that intimacy providing us with wild unprocessed food free from pesticides and hormones and with the bonus of having been produced without the addition of great quantities of fossil fuel. In addition, hunting provided us with an ever scarcer relationship in a world of cities, factory farms, and agribusiness, direct responsibility for taking the lives that sustained us. Lives that even vegans indirectly take as the growing and harvesting of organic produce kills deer, birds, snakes, rodents, and insects. We lived close to the animals we ate. We knew their habits and that knowledge deepened our thanks to them and the land that made them. ~ Ted Kerasote
Fossil Fuel quotes by Ted Kerasote
Society's dependence on fossil fuels is jeopardising social and economic progress. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Fossil Fuel quotes by Ban Ki-moon
Will we confront climate change in time or will we let fossil fuel companies determine our fate? This is a fight we can't afford to lose, and that's what keeps me moving forward. ~ Frances Beinecke
Fossil Fuel quotes by Frances Beinecke
The announcement yesterday follows Obama's 2011 agreement with automakers to build cars that average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. But as important as fuel efficiency in automobiles may be, power plants are the largest concentrated source of carbon dioxide emissions. The EPA's new power-plant rules will reduce overall emissions by at least 80 times more metric tons of carbon than the regulations for cars. Almost all credible reports suggest the world is passing the point where it can reverse, or eliminate, global warming. But that only means it's more urgent than ever to push for historic carbon reductions. Nonetheless, many politicians - including the usual global-warming deniers and those from both parties in fossil-fuel-producing states - rushed to claim the new rules would cause steep economic damage. ~ Anonymous
Fossil Fuel quotes by Anonymous
Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small-scale intensive systems which are labor efficient and which use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs stress ecological connections and closed energy and material loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working relationships and connections between all things. ~ Bill Mollison
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill Mollison
The high prices also highlight the fact that the U.S. is too heavily dependent on fossil fuels that we import from unstable parts of the world. To protect our national security, we must become more energy secure. ~ Dan Lipinski
Fossil Fuel quotes by Dan Lipinski
We need policy change, and the most important thing people can do is to contribute and participate in the political process. We have to vote climate change deniers and people who will create subsidies for the fossil fuel industry out of office. We have to protest when bad decisions are being made about fracking or tar sands. ~ Josh Fox
Fossil Fuel quotes by Josh Fox
Apparently, the fossil-fuel industry's strategy is to convince the American people that we should just burn all the way through the last of our oil and coal reserves. ~ Van Jones
Fossil Fuel quotes by Van Jones
Today, in directly harnessing the power of the Sun, we're taking the energy that God gave us, the most renewable energy that we will ever see, and using it to replace our dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. ~ Jimmy Carter
Fossil Fuel quotes by Jimmy Carter
So this is what commodity corn can do to a cow: industrialize the miracle of nature that is a ruminant, taking this sunlight- and prairie grass-powered organism and turning it into the last thing we need: another fossil fuel machine. This one, however, is able to suffer. ~ Michael Pollan
Fossil Fuel quotes by Michael Pollan
Fossil fuel is very seductive stuff. [John Maynard] Keynes once said that, as far as he could tell, the average standard of living from the beginning of human history to the middle of the eighteenth century had perhaps doubled. Not much had changed, and then we found coal and gas and oil and everything changed. We're reaping the result of that, both ecologically and socially. ~ Bill McKibben
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill McKibben
I have not been one who believed in the global warming. But I tell you, they are making a convert out of me as these blistering summers. They have broken heat records in a number of cities already this year and broken all-time records and it is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air. We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels. ~ Pat Robertson
Fossil Fuel quotes by Pat Robertson
[The Center for Industrial Progress'] model allows us to keep conflicts of interest to an absolute minimum as we do our research and writing. As for our relationship with the fossil fuel industry, it's the same as everyone else - they pay for our ideas, we never accept money to voice theirs. ~ Alex Epstein
Fossil Fuel quotes by Alex Epstein
I don't believe in "average people" doing anything [about the climate]. People outght to support mitigation and adaptation within their own line of work, no matter how un-average that is. I mean: if you're a butcher, baker, ballerina, banker, or a plumber, envision yourself as the post-fossil-fuel version of yourself, and get right after it ~ Bruce Bruce
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bruce Bruce
The fossil fuel industry for too long has shifted enormous costs of carbon pollution onto the public. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
Protectionist politicians cannot stand the notion of a fossil-fuel-rich America maintaining record levels of production through exports. ~ Mike Pompeo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mike Pompeo
The American people are tired of being told. They're tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. They're tired of hearing politicians in both parties tell us that we'll get to that tomorrow while we pile a mountain range of debt on our children and our grandchildren. ~ Mike Pence
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mike Pence
Many anti-energy groups display little appreciation of the extent to which modern economies depend pervasively on the use of fossil fuels and petrochemical products. ~ Robert Higgs
Fossil Fuel quotes by Robert Higgs
Even if we didn't have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we're going to run out. They're finite, whereas solar and wind are infinite. ~ Ted Turner
Fossil Fuel quotes by Ted Turner
What we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return ~ Barack Obama
Fossil Fuel quotes by Barack Obama
It is a fact that, up to seven million people a year are dying from fossil fuel pollution. It is a fact that we are already dealing with the catastrophe of climate change in places like California, where people have been burnt out of their homes and where they are dealing with record droughts. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mark Ruffalo
It is a fact that, today, up to seven million people a year are dying from fossil fuel pollution. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mark Ruffalo
Hillary Clinton understands that a president's job is to worry about future generations, not the short-term profits of the fossil fuel industry. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
In West Virginia, we've been extracting coal longer than anyone else. And after one hundred and fifty years of making other people rich, West Virginia is almost dead last among the states in per capita income, education rates and life expectancy. And it's not an anomaly. The areas with the richest fossil fuel resources, whether coal in West Virginia and Kentucky, or oil in Louisiana and Mississippi, are the areas with the lowest standards of living. In part, this is a necessity of the industry. The only way to convince someone to blow up their backyard or poison their water is to make sure they are so desperate that they have no other option. ~ Tim DeChristopher
Fossil Fuel quotes by Tim DeChristopher
Trying to predict whether global warming will moderate the next ice age is not only impossible but irrelevant. It doesn't help us get through the next few centuries. And one can only imagine our future, shivering, ice age descendants cursing us for leaving them no fossil fuel to create a global warming "greenhouse" effect when one is really needed. ~ John Harte
Fossil Fuel quotes by John Harte
Because of the industrialization of agriculture
using massive amounts of fossil fuel
only 2 percent of Americans work in farming. And yet they produce enough food to feed all 300 million Americans, with plenty left over for export. When are liberals going to break the news to their friends in Darfur that they all have to starve to death to save the planet? ~ Ann Coulter
Fossil Fuel quotes by Ann Coulter
We need an energy revolution by breaking our dependence on fossil fuels, polluting fuels ... I am very, very confident our small state will lead this. We will be noticed by the country and the world. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
And my car back then, a Studebaker as I recall, was powered, as are most of all means of transportation and other machinery today, and electric power plants and furnaces, by the most abused, addictive, and destructive drugs of all: fossil fuels.
When you got here, even when I got here, the industrialized world was already hopelessly hooked on fossil fuels, and very soon now there won't be any left. Cold turkey.
Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn't the TV news is it? Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Fossil Fuel quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Our children will work in energy tomorrow - they just won't work in fossil fuels, in the meantime, for social justice, economic justice and stability, we need ... negotiated, planned outcomes that people can touch at both the national and industry and enterprise level. ~ Sharan Burrow
Fossil Fuel quotes by Sharan Burrow
There is more He-3 energy on the Moon than we have ever had in the form of fossil fuels on Earth. All we have to do is to go there and get it. ~ Wilson Greatbatch
Fossil Fuel quotes by Wilson Greatbatch
The Occupy Wall Street collective is confused about what it wants but it wants it now! Some of the loonier demands from its independent thinkers: Striking all existing public and private debt from the books across the "entire planet"; elimination of all international borders; free college education; a guaranteed "living wage" for all regardless of employment; an end to free trade; trillions in additional spending for infrastructure and ecological restoration; and ending the fossil fuel economy. ~ Mike Rosen
Fossil Fuel quotes by Mike Rosen
In addition to contributing to erosion, pollution, food poisoning, and the dead zone, corn requires huge amounts of fossil fuel - it takes a half gallon of fossil fuel to produce a bushel of corn. ~ Michael Pollan
Fossil Fuel quotes by Michael Pollan
A hundred years ago, this City[...]'s energy production, its food and fuel, came from all over the world, often traveling thousands of miles. People used energy just to ship more energy to the places that needed it. When you're high on fossil fuel fumes, I guess almost anything can make sense. ~ Annalee Newitz
Fossil Fuel quotes by Annalee Newitz
Because the financial power of the fossil-fuel industry is so great it can, and has, delayed any real action of the climate issues almost everywhere. ~ Bill McKibben
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill McKibben
We must rapidly wean ourselves off our dependence on coal and fossil fuels ~ Richard Branson
Fossil Fuel quotes by Richard Branson
We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s) ~ Bill McKibben
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill McKibben
The consensus is clear. We need an immediate and determined shift to a clean, renewable economy. The continued mass burning of fossil fuels is inconsistent with a healthy, prosperous future for our civilization. ~ Al Gore
Fossil Fuel quotes by Al Gore
In the United States, cheap fossil fuel has eroded communities. We're the first people with no real practical need for each other. Everything comes from a great distance through anonymous and invisible transactions. We've taken that to be a virtue, but it's as much a curse. Americans are not very satisfied with their lives, and the loss of community is part of that. ~ Bill McKibben
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bill McKibben
The climate is nearing tipping points. Changes are beginning to appear and there is a potential for explosive changes, effects that would be irreversible, if we do not rapidly slow fossil-fuel emissions over the next few decades. ~ James Hansen
Fossil Fuel quotes by James Hansen
As long as we're dependent on those fossil fuels, we're dependent on the Middle East. If we are not victims, we're certainly captives. ~ John M. McHugh
Fossil Fuel quotes by John M. McHugh
If we can come up with innovations and train young people to take on new jobs, and if we can switch to clean energy, I think we have the capacity to build this world not dependent on fossil-fuel. I think it will happen, and it won't destroy economy. ~ Kofi Annan
Fossil Fuel quotes by Kofi Annan
The real requirement, if we are to avoid runaway global warming, is probably 80% by 2030, and almost no burning whatever of fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) by 2050. ~ Gwynne Dyer
Fossil Fuel quotes by Gwynne Dyer
I think so long as fossil fuels are cheap, people will use them and it will postpone a movement towards new technologies. ~ Paul Krugman
Fossil Fuel quotes by Paul Krugman
Unless a price can be put on carbon emissions that is high enough to force power companies and manufacturers to reduce their fossil-fuel use, there seems to be little chance of avoiding hugely damaging temperature increases ~ Rajendra K. Pachauri
Fossil Fuel quotes by Rajendra K. Pachauri
Fossil fuel corporations are supposed to pay the government fair market royalties in exchange for the right to drill on public lands or in federal waters. ~ Bernie Sanders
Fossil Fuel quotes by Bernie Sanders
Americans put almost as much fossil fuel into our refrigerators as our cars. We're consuming about 400 gallons of oil per year per citizin -- about 17% of our nations energy use -- for agriculture. ~ Steven L. Hopp
Fossil Fuel quotes by Steven L. Hopp
