QUOTES

"The sunshine that strikes American roads each year contains more energy than all the fossil fuels used by the entire world."

"An acre of windy prairie could produce between $4,000 and 10,000 worth of electricity per year – which is far more than the value of the land’s crop of corn or wheat."

"America has the technology and resources to meet all its energy needs while safeguarding the earth's climate. The urgent question now is, 'Do we have the will?' At least one city does, and I'm proud to live in it."

"Listen up, you couch potatoes: each recycled beer can saves enough electricity to run a television for three hours."

"I feel more confident than ever that the power to save the planet rests with the individual consumer."
