Mother Nature is not sweet.
Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.
The hydrogen powered car, with its high fuel mileage and zero emission rate, is just one example of the products under development that will help increase our energy independence.
You don’t have to live in the country and grow your own food to be green.
In addition to contributing to erosion, pollution, food poisoning, and the dead zone, corn requires huge amounts of fossil fuel – it takes a half gallon of fossil fuel to produce a bushel of corn.
If we don’t continue to pursue alternative, emissions-free energy sources like nuclear fuel, we are at risk of increasing our dependence on costly natural gas.
People blame their environment. There is only one person to blame – and only one – themselves.
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
Environmentalism is a form of pagan fundamentalism. These green wackos are fanatics like al-Quaida. Just like them.

Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.

I’m anti-tax, but I’m pro-carbon tax.
It’s not unexpected that shooting massive amounts of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure into the earth to shatter shale and release natural gas might shake things up. But earthquakes aren’t the worst problem with fracking.
The government should set a goal for a clean environment but not mandate how that goal should be implemented.
A majority of American citizens are now becoming skeptical of the claim that our carbon footprints, resulting from our use of fossil fuels, are going to lead to climatic calamities. But governments are not yet listening to the citizens.
There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place!
You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.
Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life – all life.
Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?
