“We must proceed with our own energy development. Exploitation of domestic petroleum and natural gas potentialities, along with nuclear, solar, geothermal, and non-fossil fuels is vital.

“You can have a strong economy or you can help the environment, but you can't do both at the same time. That's ridiculous. In fact, as a sustainable vision for a healthy economy has to involve changing our energy policy and changing with respect to the natural world. Because we're hitting nature's thresholds, we're hitting nature's limits with respect to water and crop yields and energy use and fossil fuels heating the atmosphere at the same time we're past global peak and running out of that.” WorldFactsHelpingUseRunningPastEnergyStrongWaterNaturalVisionEconomyEnvironmentPolicyHealthyLimitsRidiculousAtmosphereFuelYieldHittingFossilsNatural WorldCropsFossil FuelThresholdHeatingEnergy PolicyStrong EconomyEnergy Use Author:James Cameron
