«Solar energy»

Solar power is going to be absolutely essential to meeting growing energy demands while staving off climate change.

Ramez Naam

I think the future for solar energy is bright.

Ken Salazar

Solar power is clean, renewable and cost effective, but it also needs time to develop.

J. D. Hayworth

From solar to electric cars, from geothermal to reconfiguring the grid, the scale of investment needed in green technologies in order to meet whatever agreements on emissions reductions are finally agreed will be immense.

Noreena Hertz

Homeowners want solar power. It’s cost-effective. We invented a business model that makes it really easy for consumers to switch to solar - and that’s solar-as-a-service.

Lynn Jurich

I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun’s energy. If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago.

George Porter

The fuel in the earth will be exhausted in a thousand or more years, and its mineral wealth, but man will find substitutes for these in the winds, the waves, the sun’s heat, and so forth. (1916)

John Burroughs

Solar power is the last energy resource that isn’t owned yet - nobody taxes the sun yet.

Bonnie Raitt

The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.

Ralph Nade

Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature - it’s the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.

Bjork

We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ... I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.

Thomas Edison
