Quotes About Renewables

We can, and must, shift to an economy in which 100% of our electricity is generated renewably.

We need a really credible perspective toward long-term de-carbonization.

We're fighting for community energy initiatives, warmer homes and crucial flood defences - and fiercely opposing the Government's assault on renewables.

If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them.

The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive.

The challenge of global warming should stimulate a whole raft of manifestly benign innovations - for conserving energy and generating it by 'clean' means (biofuels, innovative renewables, carbon sequestration, and nuclear fusion).

Many countries - as well as cities, states and provinces - are taking global warming seriously and are working to reduce emissions and shift to cleaner energy sources.

Government needs to do two things: put a price on carbon and invest heavily in new technologies.

Alongside energy efficiency, renewables and abatement, I believe safe nuclear power, with manageable waste, can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as long as it is cost competitive with other low carbon generation.

All renewables thus require a material throughput - from mining to processing to installing to disposing of the materials later as waste - that is orders of magnitude larger than for non-renewable energy sources.

We have to slow down the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane from coal burning, oil and eventually natural gas... And the best ways to do that are energy efficiency and a switch to renewables.

Britain needs a diverse energy mix - home grown renewables, new nuclear, a switch from dirty coal to cleaner gas, and, when the technology is ready, carbon capture and storage. Diversity will keep the lights on and ensure we go green at the lowest possible cost.

We're not going to be living in a world of abundant coal power in a hundred years.

You could power America with renewables from a technical and economic standpoint. The biggest obstacles are social and political - what you need is the will to do it.

We need to stop using fossil fuels as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the two leading replacements of wind and solar have emerging health and environmental problems.

When it comes to energy, cost isn't everything - but it's a lot. Everybody wants cheap power.

Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.

Rising energy costs kill jobs and hit America's poorest the hardest.

Humanity has very little time left to wean itself from fossil fuels.

If everyone that has agreed to the Paris Agreement wants to meet their targets they are going to have to make renewables part of the equation. There's no other way out of it.

it decided last year to become a 'broad energy' firm, investing up to 15–20 percent of annual capital expenditure in 'new energy solutions' by 2030, mostly in offshore wind.

Renewables require the use of vastly more land, longer and less-utilized transmission lines, and large amounts of storage whether from lithium batteries, new dams, compressed air caverns.

Australia is a remarkable country with incredible technical and physical resources and a capacity to be a world leader in renewables.

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.
