“India lives in several centuries at the same time. Every night outside my house I pass a road gang of emaciated laborers digging a trench to lay fiber optic cables to speed up digital revolution.

“I have a personal staff that helps me scour the internet and other media for the latest scientific peer-reviewed findings, the latest examples of climate-related extreme weather events, and the latest examples of progress. The world is in the midst of a sustainability revolution that has the scope of the industrial revolution, but with the speed of the digital revolution. That's not enough without new laws and the right kind of political leadership. But it does give us a base from which to build a movement that will save us from the most catastrophic consequences of the climate crisis.” WorldGivingKindEnoughHelpingPoliticalProgressRevolutionInternetConsequenceCrisisSpeedHelp MeSustainabilityIndustrial Revolution Author:Al Gore
“The cost reductions for renewable energy continue downward in a very dramatic way. We're in the early stages of a sustainability revolution in the globe that has the scale of the industrial revolution but the speed of the digital revolution. And you see it with renewable energy and you see it with LED lighting, which takes a fraction of the energy for the existing bulbs. All new lights are going to be LED. Electric vehicles. There are a lot of changes underway right now. I'm excited by the prospect, and I look forward to working in the months and years to come to accelerate this transition.” EnergyRevolutionExcitedSpeedDramaticSustainabilityVehicleElectricRenewable EnergyIndustrial Revolution Author:Al Gore
“Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.” ThinkingMenGivingFeelsBodyRunningAgeFormProcessForeverRevolutionPureConsciousMachinesWeightSpeedFacultyEcstasyRunnersExhaustionDelegatesBlisters Author:Milan Kundera

“In the history of physics, there have been three great revolutions in thought that first seemed absurd yet proved to be true. The first proposed that the earth, instead of being stationary, was moving around at a great and variable speed in a universe that is much bigger than it appears to our immediate perception. That proposal, I believe, was first made by Aristarchos two millenia ago ... Remarkably enough, the name Aristarchos in Greek means best beginning.” FirstsBelieveMeanHas BeensMadeTwoEnoughEarthMovingScienceUniverseThreeNamesI BelieveRevolutionPerceptionDiscoveryBiggerSpeedPhysicsAbsurdBeing TrueGreekProposalVariablesStationary Author:Edward Teller
