 "We have as never before an opportunity to elect someone who would truly support the cause of clean energy: Ralph Nader. Not to vote for this man is a vote against clean energy. Not to vote for Nader is a vote for business as usual. I strenuously object to the defensive posture, "A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush". Besides in some swing states, we will get nowhere with such defensiveness; that is media nonsense!. Many a nation has been doomed by such tentativeness. Only Nader will be able to lead the way to clean energy."- Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.) |
 "We have the technology to tap into these clean energy sources; we just lack the will. There's too much vested interest in conventional energy and now a renewed interest in nuclear energy. When we have the technology to develop renewable energy that has no negative output, why aren't we?"

Does Philippe think we'll wise up and make the right energy choices in the long run? "- David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "There's almost no waste of resources: gray water is captured, purified, and recycled; organic wastes are used as biomass to generate clean energy; and combined heat and power systems provide warmth and electricity for the home in the same process. Buildings use natural light, advanced insulation, and high-efficiency designs to cut energy use significantly. Public transit is commonplace, within an easy walk from almost any location. In many ways, life in the Dongtan eco-city will be very much like life in any modern city: clean, comfortable, exciting."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "The same principles apply whether we want to sell fairtrade products, generate clean energy, or launch a nonprofit to create social change. That so much is wrong with the world today actually means there are more opportunities to launch enterprises that aim to make a business of improving it—especially since so many tools for improving it now exist. One of the simplest ways to find a new business idea is to look for the innovations and social trends larger companies are ignoring." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Since 1978, it's been cranking out ideas for living lightly, with a special emphasis on solar, wind, and other clean energy products. Now partnered with the companies Gaiam and Jade Mountain, Real Goods is the first place you should look if you're considering a home-green energy system, and the store's Web site (www.realgoods.com) is a critical comparative-shopping resource." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "Swiss Re is looking at incorporating climate change into its modeling and investing in green companies with a $350-mil-lion clean energy fund.
By 2080, the costs from hurricanes, typhoons and windstorms will jump by two-thirds to $27 billion (U.S.) a year, the Association of British Insurers said. (Ironically and sadly, in the United States, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners had organized a climate change symposium on the issue in September in New Orleans. The meeting was canceled due to the disaster wrought by Hurricane Katrina."- David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
| "Every time one of us switches to compact fluorescents and wind power, a bunch of good things happen: less coal is burned (meaning healthier air and less damage to our climate); more wind farms are built; and energy companies get a signal that there's a market for energy-efficient products and more clean energy. By designing our lives to be greener, we help nudge the whole economy toward a bright green future.
Individual actions are great, but look for individual actions that will influence others. There's an old saying that living well is the best revenge." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
| "He has some very provocative ideas about a clean energy source that most people don't think about: the oceans.* "The oceans are a tremendous resource," he says. "One ocean alternative is wind power, which is better offshore than on land because wind is more reliable out in the ocean. It has no impediment to its progress. It's just whipping along the surface of the ocean where it can build up speed, as opposed to land where there are trees and mountains. Ocean wind turbines are builr on plarforms, sometimes several hundred feet tall with very large blades that slowly rotate." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "I force myself to eat something that will give me good, clean energy for my body and brain. One of my staples is a half cup of oatmeal with one tablespoon of raw sugar, cinnamon and a little milk to make it creamy instead of clumpy. It only has about 200 calories, 30 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fat. It is quick, easy and will help reduce hunger for the rest of the day. For some added flavor and energy, cut up a half a banana or throw in some raisins or berries."- Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.) |
 "Looking further forwards, the IEA projects that world energy demand will rise by more than half by 2030, with 80 per cent of the increase coming from fossil fuels rather than clean energy sources. Worryingly, this 'business as usual' scenario sees renewables increasing rapidly, but still accounting for only 2 per cent of total energy generation in 2030 because of the sheer scale of growth. Consequently, C02 emissions will rise by a frightening 52 per cent by the same date, according to this projection."- Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |

Keynote Address: clean energy Now!
Speech to the Forum on Converting to a Hydrogen Economy
Ft. Collins, Colorado, Sept. 22, 2000 by Brian O'Leary, Ph.D." - Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.) "Only Nader will be able to lead the way to clean energy. He is the only candidate who has repeatedly declared the clean energy goal, one I am sure each of us here agrees to. A vote for Nader is a vote for hydrogen, pure and simple. If he doesn't win this time, he could make a strong enough showing to win next time, perhaps after taking our turn with the oilmen in charge, who would show their true colors as to what not to do. I'm emphatic and unrelenting on this point." - Brian O'Leary, Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths (Get the book.) |
 "As it happens, the best and preferred source of clean energy they use for these complicated activities is hydroelectric energy. This is the reason a glass of water is the best pick-me-up drink you could imagine. It will energize the brain out of its listlessness in a matter of minutes. If you were to tap into the energy of food for this purpose, not only you would need water to digest the food for its eventual use, but the process would also take quite a long time: First the food is converted to sugar, and then the sugar is used by the brain cells as a source of energy."- Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.) |
 "The Earth Day clean energy Agenda
A rapid transition to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources will combat global warming, protect human health, create new jobs, and ensure a secure, affordable future. The Earth Day clean energy Agenda outlines common-sense steps to mobilize American ingenuity and resources for a rapid, comprehensive transition to renewable energy sources.
Clean Power: In the next decade, increase fourfold the amount of energy obtained from non-hydro renewable sources such as the sun and wind."- Denis Hayes, The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair (Get the book.) |
 "As explained earlier, vast increases in energy efficiency and clean energy sources may be matched by vast increases in consumption, as economic growth is spurred on by such improvements. Big oil may not just go away. It may hang on for some time, as clean energy sources struggle to keep up with overconsumption.
An example of the potential boost for oil occurred in 2001 with the announcement that oil production from Canada's Athabasca oil sands was being tripled. The oil sands contain about 1."- Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.) |
