It’s like turning the space program over to the Long Island Railroad (David R Brower Quotes)
I believe that the average guy in the street will give up a great deal, if he really understands the cost of not giving it up. In fact, we may find that, while we’re drastically cutting our energy consumption, we’re actually raising our standard of living (David R Brower Quotes)

There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place! (David R Brower Quotes)

I was actually telling people that - by harnessing the atom - we could enter a new era of unlimited power that would do away with the need to dam our beautiful streams (David R Brower Quotes)
Realistic’ is a loaded word for me. Anyone who uses the word ‘realistic’ is all bad (David R Brower Quotes)
Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time (David R Brower Quotes)
When people say, ‘You’re not being realistic,’ they’re just trying to tag some thoughts that they can’t otherwise handle (David R Brower Quotes)
At that time a senator who was on the Joint Committee of Atomic Energy said rather quietly, ‘You know, we’re having a little problem with waste these days.’ I didn’t know what he meant then, but I know now (David R Brower Quotes)
To me, a wilderness is where the flow of wildness is essentially uninterrupted by technology; without wilderness the world is a cage (David R Brower Quotes)
It’s very hard for me to know what to say about fusion right now, inasmuch as it is not yet scientifically feasible. I just can’t understand how so many people are able to predict so much about something that still isn’t scientifically possible (David R Brower Quotes)
Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we ‘keep’ our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This ‘solution’, I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations (David R Brower Quotes)
The Sierra Club is a very good and a very powerful force for conservation and, as a matter of fact, has grown faster since I left than it was growing while I was there! It must be doing something right (David R Brower Quotes)
We’ve got to search back to our last known safe landmark. I can’t say exactly where, but I think it’s back there at the start of the Industrial Revolution, we began applying energy in vast amounts to tools with which we began tearing the environment apart (David R Brower Quotes)
Truth and beauty can still win battles. We need more art, more passion, more wit in defense of the Earth (David R Brower Quotes)
We still need conservationists who will attempt the impossible, achieving it because they aren’t aware how impossible it is (David R Brower Quotes)
Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time. (David R Brower Quotes)
Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It’s supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it’s in the Pacific Ocean instead. (David R Brower Quotes)

I was actually telling people that - by harnessing the atom - we could enter a new era of unlimited power that would do away with the need to dam our beautiful streams. (David R Brower Quotes)
I will say this, - though: If it is true that fusion will put unlimited amounts of energy into our hands, then I’m worried. Our record on this score is extremely poor. (David R Brower Quotes)
I don’t think we have very good records about what they were thinking except, as I pointed out earlier today, that they did invent our political system. (David R Brower Quotes)
