I have a great deal of difficulty with those who live in a hugely prosperous country telling people in the developing world that they should be deprived of a critical source of energy.

When it comes to idiots, America's got more than its fair share. If idiots were energy, it would be a source that would never run out.

To have constructive conversations about the world's energy options, one needs to take a calm look at the numbers.

Let's learn to consume the least amount of energy possible.

I realise myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy, and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

If you're going to spend most of your time in your democracy figuring out how to get oil by intervening into other people's countries and insuring that you follow it with military might, we think there's an alternative. Which would be renewable energy.

We need to become energy independent or at least aspire to that.

We ought to open up energy innovation across the board and - and remove the barriers to every form of energy.

For folks in Washington to believe that they are smart enough to pick the next energy technology is, in my judgment, the height of arrogance. For me or any of my peers to pick energy-technology X as the solution to solving America's energy problems is just a fool's errand.

There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels.
