Renewable Quotations | Page 2

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the President who let the oil and gas industry write the country's energy policy hasn't backed up his promise to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil with real action. Sadly, the President doesn't have much credibility left. Instead of insulting the staff of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the voters of Colorado with a PR stunt and a lot of hot air, President Bush should join Democrats in working to promote true energy independence by restoring funding for research into renewable sources of energy that will create jobs, enhance our national security, and keep our economy the strongest in the world.

We have a real opportunity on renewable fuels to take this to a whole new level in Iowa.

You know, one of the great things about most renewable technologies - not every technology, but many of them - is the jobs have to be local. When you're talking about a power plant and power generation using solar thermal technology, the jobs will be where the plant is.

The relationship between renewable energy sources and the communities we expect to host them must be appropriate and sustainable and, above all, acceptable to local people.

This agreement not only provides us with greater coal exposure but offers a further source from which we can supply electricity to our British Gas customers, in addition to our own gas and renewable generation assets.

These ideas are part of a larger discussion about addressing the need for more fuel supply, refining capacity conservation, technology improvements and alternative and renewable fuels.

These grants will help develop 8,400 megawatt-hours of clean renewable energy right here in Vermont.

This is a great demonstration of the increased awareness and availability of renewable Fuels such as E85. With automakers like General Motors producing an abundance of flexible-fuel vehicles, we can help boost our country's agriculture industry, save the environment, and reduce our dependence on petroleum.

You and I need to inform the public of the peaking of oil and the energy crisis that is coming in the future - renewable energy is our way out.

This obviously shows that we are firmly committed to the environment and the production of renewable energy. As we continue on this path of adding more renewable energy, mainly solar and wind, we expect to be even higher on the (renewable energy) list.
