“If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you are looking the wrong way.”

It is simply economically impossible to require controls that even approach zero emissions.

All of the clean technologies are known, it’s a question of simply applying them.

The AEC had at its command an army of highly skilled scientists.

The environmental crisis arises from a fundamental fault: our systems of production – in industry, agriculture, energy and transportation – essential as they are, make people sick and die.

The AEC scientists were so narrowly focused on arming the United States for nuclear war that they failed to perceive facts – even widely known ones – that were outside their limited field of vision.

The gap between brute power and human need continues to grow, as the power fattens on the same faulty technology that intensifies the need.

If environmentalism is a fad, it will be the last one.

After all, despite the economic advantage to firms that employed child labor, it was in the social interest, as a national policy, to abolish it – removing that advantage for all firms.

The modern technologist is less ‘sorcerer’ and more ‘sorcerer’s apprentice’.

Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.

What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.

The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.

No action is without its side effects.

The environmental crisis is a sign that the ecosphere is now so heavily strained that its continued stability is threatened. It is a warning that we must discover the source of this suicidal drive and master it before it destroys the environment-and ourselves.

Nothing ever dies, nothing ever goes away.

After several trillion dollars of stimulation by the Obama Administration and the Fed, one might think the economy would be chugging along at a pretty good clip. But, it just isn’t so, and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty dim. Just ask a small business owner.

There’s a video about one of those women who they consider as rebel or fighter who worked with those terrorists and she said “they didn’t tell us how to use the chemical weapons” and one of those weapons exploded in one of the tunnels and killed twelve. That’s what she said.

A lot of people don’t understand the building phase. They don’t have the blueprint, but we do. With us having the blueprint and knowing what we want to build, it’s not how it’s supposed to be built, but what we want to build. I think it makes everything easy for us to stay focus and have that tunnel vision.
