“There's no free lunch. If you want an industrial economy, you need energy. If you want energy, it will produce pollution. You can have it in two forms. You can have it dissipated in the atmosphere - like carbon dioxide - which then you cannot recover, or you can have the waste concentrated in one small space like nuclear. That is far easier to deal with. The idea that you can be able to create renewable energy at a price anywhere near the current price for oil or gas or coal is a fantasy.” IfsWantNeedsTwoIdeasAbleFormEnergySpaceDealsFantasyEconomyProduceEasierWasteCurrentsOilNuclearAtmosphereGasLunchPollutionCarbonCoalRenewable EnergyCarbon DioxideSmall SpacesFree Lunch Author:Charles Krauthammer
“Since 1850, burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas has increased 100 times to produce energy as the world has industrialized to serve the world's more than 6 billion and growing population.” WorldEnergyNaturalGrowingProducePopulationOilBillionsBurningFuelGasCoalFossilsFossil FuelNatural GasBurning Fossil FuelsBurning Coal Author:John Olver
“There's no question that natural gas is a lot better than coal or oil, in the sense that natural gas produces less carbon per unit of energy produced.” EnergyNaturalProduceOilGasUnitsCarbonCoalNatural Gas Author:Katharine Hayhoe
“Obviously Muslim societies, like societies elsewhere, are becoming increasingly urban, many are becoming industrial, but since so many have oil and gas, they don't have a great impetus. But again, the revenue that natural resources produce gives them the capability and so countries like Iran are beginning to develop an industrial component.” GivingCountryNaturalProduceBecomingResourcesOilGasIranCapabilityElsewhereUrbanComponentsRevenueNatural ResourcesImpetusOil And Gas Author:Samuel P.

“Burning carbon-based substances like oil, gas, and especially coal, produces billions of tons of extra carbon dioxide each year. Methane gas from cows and pigs and other animals on our large farms ends up in the atmosphere as well, trapping more of the sun's energy as heat.” YearsWellsEndsEnergyAnimalSunProduceOilBillionsBurningSubstanceAtmosphereHeatExtrasGasFarmsCowsPigsCarbonCoalCarbon DioxideMethane Author:Bill Nye
