“I drove an electric car for seven years because of its advanced technology, not because I have any concerns about energy resources. I have none at all. And when environmentalists say that global warming is dangerous, unprecedented and that we'll have a tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide, it's just nonsense.” YearsEnergyTechnologyDangerousCarResourcesConcernSevenGlobal WarmingNonsenseElectricCarbonSeven YearsUnprecedentedEnvironmentalistCarbon DioxideTippingTipping PointElectric CarAdvanced Technology Author:Burt Rutan

“The horn of dilemma of energy politics is what really drives concern about this energy in this country, at the gut level for most people, is high gas prices. And if you really want to fight global warming and try to reduce our carbon emissions, the cleanest, easiest, most rational way to do it would to make the price of gas even higher through very stiff gas prices.” PeopleIfsWayWantTryingCountryFightingEnergyLevelsHigherConcernRationalGlobal WarmingGutsGasCarbonHornsDilemmaEmissionsGas PricesCarbon Emissions Author:Rich Lowry

“It's only in America where there seems to be this sort of systematic denial of the reality of global warming at the governmental level, and in too many sectors of the high, the private sector.

“I'm not against international institutions that would try to tackle global warming. But the way to go, at least in the short run, is to go to nuclear power. It's amazing to me that people who are so alarmed about global warming are so reluctant to adopt the obvious short-term solution - the bridge until the day when we have affordable renewable energy - of nuclear power.” PeopleWayTryingRunningEnergyTermSolutionsInstitutionsInternationalObviousNuclearBridgesGlobal WarmingShort TermAffordableReluctantRenewable EnergyNuclear Power Author:Charles Krauthammer
