Quotes by Barack Obama

"I will end the notion of Yucca Mountain because it has not been based on the sort of sound science that can assure the people in Nevada that they’re going to be safe. And that, I think, was a mistake."

2008 by Barack Obama on Energy from lasvegassun.com

"The reason I voted for it [the energy bill] was because it was the single largest investment in clean energy — solar, wind, biodiesel — that we had ever seen. If we are going to deal with our dependence on foreign oil, then we’re going to have to ramp up how we’re producing energy here in the United States."

2008 by Barack Obama on Energy from lasvegassun.com

"All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster."

2006 by Barack Obama on Global Warming from obama.senate.gov

"The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril. There may still be disputes about exactly how much we're contributing to the warming of the earth's atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring, but what we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return."

2006 by Barack Obama on Fossil Fuels from obama.senate.gov

"The challenge we face with these biofuels is getting them out of the labs, out of the farms, and onto the wider commercial market."

2006 by Barack Obama on Biofuels from obama.senate.gov

"Any strategy for reducing carbon emissions must also deal with coal, which is actually the most abundant source of energy in this country. To keep using this fossil fuel, I believe we need to invest in the kind of advanced coal technology that will keep our air cleaner while still keeping our coal mines in business."

2006 by Barack Obama on Fossil Fuels from obama.senate.gov

"As Congress considers policies to address air quality and the deleterious effects of carbon emissions on the global ecosystem, it is reasonable – and realistic – for nuclear power to remain on the table for consideration. Illinois has 11 nuclear power plants – the most of any State in the country – and nuclear power provides more than half of Illinois’ electricity needs."
