Coal Quotes

Fertile soil, level plains, easy passage across the mountains, coal, iron, and other metals imbedded in the rocks, and a stimulating climate, all shower their blessings upon man Picture Quote #1

For when asceticism was carried out of monastic cells into everyday life, and began to dominate worldly morality, it did its part in building the tremendous cosmos of the modern economic order. This order is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt Picture Quote #1

Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes Picture Quote #1

Oh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn’t had tuberculosis when I was 12 Picture Quote #1

If a power station were to be built down the road, I’d prefer a nuclear plant over an oil burner, and definitely over a coal burner. We simply have to lessen our consumption of fossil fuels Picture Quote #1

The poet, distracted by politics, asks of poetry that it make itself useful like metal or flour, that it get ready to stain its face with coal dust and fight body to body Picture Quote #1

It’s not that he lacked poetry. But his poetry was of the body, not the mind. He spoke it in the way he moved, the way he held a hammer, rowed a boat, built a fire. I, on the other hand, was like a brain in a box, a beating heart in a coal scuttle Picture Quote #1

Mankind has always drawn from outside sources of energy. This island was the first to harness coal and steam. But our present sources stand in the ratio of a million to one, compared with any previous sources. The release of atomic energy will change the whole structure of society Picture Quote #1

Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country. It’s ruining our world Picture Quote #1

It is government policy to phase out subsidies to nationalised industries. In line with this, the government hopes that the coal industry will be able to operate without the need for assistance apart from social grants Picture Quote #1

Investing one cent more in oil, coal and gas is investing in the death of society, and the in the death of our children Picture Quote #1

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul. With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say. He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day Picture Quote #1

Goals and caps on carbon emissions are practically worthless, if coal emissions continue, because of the exceedingly long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the air Picture Quote #1

Clean coal represents a breakthrough in the marketing of coal, but not in the science of burning coal Picture Quote #1

The potential for alternative energy sources, mainly solar and wind power, to completely replace coal and gas for utility generation globally is, I think, certain. The question is only whether it takes 30 years or 70 years Picture Quote #1

Chile is not a rich country in terms of gas, or oil or coal, but we are extremely rich in terms of the energies of the future Picture Quote #1

As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next; not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity Picture Quote #1

The profits of oil, coal, and natural gas companies will have to yield to the imperative of sustaining life on earth Picture Quote #1

Don’t be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond Picture Quote #1

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal while blaming our misery on the person who started the fire Picture Quote #1

With a giant battery, we’d be able to address the problem of intermittency that prevents wind and solar from contributing to the grid in the same way that coal and gas and nuclear do today Picture Quote #1

When experts say nuclear power generation is safe and doesn’t cost much and this is the only way to go if we want to stop relying on coal, well, we believe them. But they’ve been lying to us for years. And the point is, we’ve never really known anything about nuclear power generation. We had little interest in it before 3/11, and we certainly had no idea how difficult it is to control nuclear energy Picture Quote #1

If we all used clotheslines, we could save 30 million tons of coal a year, or shut down 15 nuclear power plants. And you don’t have to wait to start. Yours could be up by this afternoon. To be specific, buy 50 feet of clothesline and a $3 bag of clothespins and become a solar energy pioneer Picture Quote #1

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal Picture Quote #1

The modern city consists of... dark, narrow streets full of gasoline fumes, coal dust, and toxic gasses, torn by the noise Picture Quote #1

Since time immemorial it had been the custom before a sea battle for the men to wash and don clean clothes in case of being wounded. This was all the more necessary under these circumstances, as many of them were still covered with coal dust Picture Quote #1

There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology Picture Quote #1

Some studies have shown that natural gas could, in fact, be worse for the climate than coal Picture Quote #1

$Americans don’t pay much attention to environmental issues, because they aren’t sexy. I mean, cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work, but it doesn’t get anybody’s pulse racing Picture Quote #1$

I do a job and am lucky enough to do a job that I love, but it is a hard one. I’m not saying it is as hard as working in a coal mine, but it is still difficult in a different way. Sometimes you have to go through very strong emotional journeys and then come back to yourself. And that can be difficult to control Picture Quote #1
