It's time we stopped turning up our noses at the nation's garbage dumps and started appreciating them for what they really are -- the municipal mines, forests, oil wells and energy sources of the future!
-- Max Spendlove

 

* First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe… Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it. -- Henry David Thoreau (1834)

* Mining is like a search-and-destroy mission. ~ Stewart Udall

The US government knows that conventional oil is running out fast. According to a report on oil shales and unconventional oil supplies prepared by the US office of petroleum reserves last year, "world oil reserves are being depleted three times as fast as they are being discovered. Oil is being produced from past discoveries, but the re­serves are not being fully replaced. Remaining oil reserves of individual oil companies must continue to shrink. The disparity between increasing production and declining discoveries can only have one outcome: a practical supply limit will be reached and future supply to meet conventional oil demand will not be available.
-- John Vidal

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on.
-- Kurt Vonnegut

 

* "The Age of Oil has really exhausted its usefulness, and it has actually become a danger to our lives and our ability to survive on the planet." -- Dennis Weaver

…our perception of the "energy crisis" is different from many. We feel that Americans have had too much fuel available, that less will be better. I see it as the "effects of too much energy" crisis. With our bigger-is-better, disposable, nonrenewable energy past, I wonder if, in squandering fuel, we have not also subverted self-reliance, neighborly concern, the active appreciation of balance and harmony. I think confronting this legacy of too much, too soon would be the proper response to the energy crisis.
-- Steven C. Wilson, Etheos Mountain Agriculture Institute

 

* "Energy Policy will be and should be driven by environmental policy in the future." ~ Timothy Wirth * Energy is essential for development, and sustainable energy is essential for sustainable development. ~ Timothy Wirth
