“I think a portfolio standard should go beyond wind, solar and geothermal energy to include renewable energy like hydropower and clean alternatives such as coal gasification, clean coal, nuclear energy and, finally, credits for achieving new levels of efficiency and conservation.” ThinkingShouldEnergyLevelsAchieveWindStandardsCleanCreditNuclearAlternativesEfficiencyConservationCoalCleanlinessRenewable EnergyPortfoliosNuclear EnergyGeothermalGeothermal Energy Author:Pete Domenici
“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist: the threat is rather to life itself.” WayLifeShouldFirstsFormExistenceSituationEnvironmentSeaChangedActivityOceanThreatEnvironmentalCuriousConservationThreatenedOur EnvironmentSinisterEnvironmentalistBiologistMarine LifeSave The EnvironmentOcean SeaSilent SpringOceans And SeasSea LifeThe Wild NatureBeach And OceanBeach OceanOcean ConservationMarine BiologyMarine BiologistWild Sea Book:The Sea Around Us Source: The Sea Around Us
“Only within the 20th Century has biological thought been focused on ecology, or the relation of the living creature to its environment. Awareness of ecological relationships is - or should be - the basis of modern conservation programs, for it is useless to attempt to preserve a living species unless the kind of land or water it requires is also preserved. So delicately interwoven are the relationships that when we disturb one thread of the community fabric we alter it all - perhaps almost imperceptibly, perhaps so drastically that destruction follows.” ShouldKindWaterCommunityEnvironmentModernLandCenturyAwarenessCreaturesProgramDestructionBasesRelationSpeciesFocusedUselessPreservesThreadFabricEcologyConservation20th CenturyEcologicalLiving Creatures Author:Rachel Carson
