“I’d put my money on the sun and
solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil
and coal run out before we tackle that.”
Thomas Edison - 1931
"The maximum that seems
politically feasible still falls far short of the minimum that would be
effective in solving the crisis."
Al Gore (on reducing
carbon emissions)
“All of us have a responsibility
to leave this world a little bit better than it was when we found it. Improving our natural environment requires
that we also strengthen our communities and involve our children in the
process.”
Tom Davidock, Natural Resources Specialist, Schuylkill County,
PA
“As a nation, we cannot ignore this
issue (global warming) anymore. It is
with us and is going to stay with us.”
Jim Bray, Lower Makefield (PA) Environmental Advisory Council
“No one should believe in global
warming [as matter of faith]. They
should accept it as a matter of scientific validation, and $2 billion worth
of public research has gone into that validation.”
Donald Barber, Geology Professor, Bryn Mawr College
"The federal government is
dedicated to enforcing the laws on the books, including the Clean Water
Act."
Andrew Ames, U.S. Justice Department Spokesman
Forbes Magazine, 5/14/07
"Clean coal technology is a
dangerous pipe dream. We should
be putting money into renewable energy that we know works and that can work
right now, rather then putting the money away for a technology that we don't
know that it works. Even
if (clean coal technology) was proven (to work), it would come so
far down the track that it wouldn't assist us in addressing the challenge we
need to face now in tackling climate change," she said. "We
want to see us tackle this issue right now."
