Quotes About Energy

when you eat carbs and sugar, insulin spikes and your blood sugar drops. The insulin drives most of the available fuel in your bloodstream into fat cells, especially the fat cells around your middle, otherwise known as belly fat. So your body is starved of fuel, and this stimulates your brain5 to make you eat more.6 You could have a year's worth of stored energy in your fat tissue and yet feel like you are starving.

carb diet leads to a faster metabolism and sustained weight loss.

I was an infinitely hot and dense dot.

I particularly dislike the high-profile switch-off campaigns where whole cities are plunged into darkness for an hour as a supposedly symbolic gesture about energy use. So is the implication that we all need to live in constant gloom to reduce CO2 emissions?

Calculated globally, human society consumes the equivalent of 400 years' worth of ancient solar energy (expressed in terms of the net primary productivity of plants during previous geological eras) each year through our use of fossil fuels.

We'd do better-if it were possible-just to eat the oil directly. For example, it takes 127 calories of fuel to fly in each calorie of iceberg lettuce from the United States to the UK. According to one estimate, the US food system consumes ten times more fossil energy than it produces in food energy. With

Either way, nuclear power is the only means by which we can generate prodigious amounts of energy with only a tiny human footprint on the planetary biosphere.

With an Apollo Program scale-up of nuclear and other low-carbon power sources we still – just about – have time to avoid the worst of global warming.

The history of the anti-nuclear movement is therefore not lit by sunshine, but shrouded in coal smoke.

This means that not only can fast reactors – deployed at scale – "solve" the nuclear waste "problem", but that they can also run entire countries for centuries on uranium which has already been mined and for which there is little other use.

even if all fossil fuel runs out (or we decide to leave it in the ground so as not to fry the planet), there is no conceivable shortage of nuclear fuel to burn in fast reactors.

Make no mistake: opposing low-carbon technologies is an implicit vote for a high-carbon energy system, and opponents must recognise this real-world trade-off."[

In terms of our energy mix, therefore, and despite tablet computers, synthetic biology and Twitter, we are really only mid-way through the Industrial Revolution.

When we keep choosing between right and wrong. We spend our energy sorting life rather than living it.

The Heritage Foundation concludes that by 2038, the carbon-dioxide rules alone, which phase out the use of coal, an abundant natural resource in the United States, will cost the nation nearly six hundred thousand jobs and an aggregate gross domestic product decrease of $2.23 trillion.

Obama added, ". . . So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all the greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

He-Man wins the day and thrusts his sword into the air, shouting, 'I HAVE THE POWER!!' as white lightning squirts out of its tip.

the breath is seen as a gateway to the world of vital energetic currents generated in the human body and controlling all the biological processes.

It felt so joyful," Ethan told me, "realizing that instead of having this money in the bank—and I could be dead tomorrow—I got to actually use energy to create the world I wanted to see.

I'm the man they call Sudden Death and General Desolation! Sired by a hurricane, dam'd by an earthquake…. When I'm playful I use the meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude for a seine, and drag the Atlantic Ocean for whales! I scratch my head with the lightning and purr myself to sleep with the thunder!

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is the lightning that does the work.

New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

I'd rather play in front of a full house than an empty crowd
