“Renewables are a growth industry. You spend $1 million dollars of government money invest it into renewable energy and it creates 17 jobs because of the affect on private capital. If you spent a million in national security, it creates 11 jobs. If you spend that much in fossil fuels, it creates 5 jobs.”
“Insist that our elected officials take that future look back at this time and create the future for renewable energy and clean energy technology that will have us a more prosperous and more secure nation in 2021 and 2025.”
-- Admiral Dennis McGinn |

“We have to think of the alternatives, we have to ‘set the table for the future.’ This is a long-term gain. This is not something where we’re going to have a solution, idea or result next month, next year, next session of congress, this is a long-term play.”
-- Sen. Timothy Wirth, UN Foundation |

“Peoples values, what they care about are at stake in this issue. This is about the climate system, that everything in modern civilization occurs in and depends upon. And we are talking about the energy system that is the lifeblood of our entire modern civilization. This touches all our lives.”

“Stop talking about it and show the incentives. If we can show a long-haul shipping company that by making some basic changes that can have a 20% savings they don’t need to know they are saving a gigaton of carbon, they don’t nee to know that long-haul shipping if it were a country would be the 6th biggest emitter. They don’t care. What they care about is its going to help with their funding, it will help growth of the company.
-- Ann Davlin |
