Power Plants Quotes

We are working with the power industry all over the world. We are meeting customers in aerospace and getting them to tour our plants Picture Quote #1

Americans trash the planet not because we’re evil, but because the industrial systems we’ve devised leave no other choice. Our ranch houses and high-rises, factories and farms, freeways and power plants were conceived before we had a clue how the planet works Picture Quote #1

If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commerical insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I’m not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family Picture Quote #1

Here at this site, Solyndra expects to make enough solar panels each year to generate 500 megawatts of electricity. And over the lifetime of this expanded facility, that could be like replacing as many as eight coal-fired power plants Picture Quote #1

Carbon negative power plants can provide energy while they overcome poverty and change economic values in the right direction Picture Quote #1

Humanity has nearly suffocated the globe with carbon dioxide, yet nuclear power plants that produce no such emissions are so mired in objections and obstruction that, despite renewed interest on every continent, it is unlikely another will be built in the United States Picture Quote #1

Nuclear power plants must be prepared to withstand everything from earthquakes to tsunamis, from fires to floods to acts of terrorism Picture Quote #1

Who are we to create a heaven and hell for ourselves, excluding animals and plants in the bargain, just because we have the power to rationalize? Picture Quote #1

For countries such as Kenya to emerge as economic powerhouses, they need better infrastructure: roads, ports, smart grids and power plants. Infrastructure is expensive, and takes a long time to build. In the meantime, hackers are building ‘grassroots infrastructure,’ using the mobile-phone system to build solutions that are ready for market Picture Quote #1

I think we have to get bolder. Why after Fukushima didn’t we all go out and shut down all the nuclear power plants and stay there until it happened? Picture Quote #1

It’s not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. Coal is a finite resource, too. We must find alternatives, and it’s a better idea to find alternatives sooner then wait until we run out of coal, and in the meantime, put God knows how many trillions of tons of CO2 that used to be buried underground into the atmosphere Picture Quote #1

The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains. Coal-fired power plants are factories of death Picture Quote #1

Why? Because we’re very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and we’re counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power Picture Quote #1

So it was flawed in that it didn’t require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market Picture Quote #1

Mercury pollution from power plants is a national problem that requires a national response Picture Quote #1

We started focusing on this in earnest late summer and early fall. I can build more power plants. In the 12 years before us, not a single plant of major consequence was built Picture Quote #1

Here at this site, Solyndra expects to make enough solar panels each year to generate 500 megawatts of electricity. And over the lifetime of this expanded facility, that could be like replacing as many as eight coal fired power plants Picture Quote #1

If you grow a garden you are going to shed some sweat, and you are going to spend some time bent over; you will experience some aches and pains. But it is in the willingness to accept this discomfort that we strike the most telling blow against the power plants and what they represent Picture Quote #1

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it’s an old system that we can’t control Picture Quote #1

The waste from power plants is essentially what is left over when you burn coal. And as we all know, coal is a relatively dirty mineral Picture Quote #1

We experimented and we experienced many altered states of awareness. We used the power plants. I did that for a year or two Picture Quote #1

Power plants break up the way you see the world; they can push you into the second attention; yet to continuously take them, weakens the subtle psychical body Picture Quote #1

We pull out of the ground death, we burn death in our power plants, and then we act shocked when we get death in the form of oil spills and global warming 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

Race and class are extremely reliable indicators as to where one might find the good stuff, like parks and trees, and where one might find the bad stuff, like power plants and waste facilities Picture Quote #1

While many technological measures can be taken to secure safety at nuclear power plants, such measures on their own cannot cover great risks Picture Quote #1

Nuclear power as a solution to global warming is theoretically possible, but the proliferation problems and accident risks it would create would, I think, be intolerable because you have to build an immense number of nuclear power plants, one large plant a week around the world for the next 40 years, to make a significant dent in the global warming problem Picture Quote #1

Nearly all of our existing power sources are generators which use a heat cycle. This includes our coal, oil, and gas fired utilities, our automobiles, trucks, and trains, and even our nuclear fission utility power plants Picture Quote #1

If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commerical insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I’m not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family Picture Quote #1

People are the common denominator of progress. So... no improvement is possible with unimproved people, and advance is certain when people are liberated and educated. It would be wrong to dismiss the importance of roads, railroads, power plants, mills,and the other familiar furniture of economic development.... But we are coming to realize... that there is a certain sterility in economic monuments that stand alone in a sea of illiteracy. Conquest of illiteracy comes first Picture Quote #1
