Solar Energy Quotes And Sayings. “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.”
Solar power is the last energy resource that isn’t owned yet – nobody taxes the sun yet.
-
The primary means of energy generation is going to solar. It will at least be a plurality, and probably be a slight majority in the long term.
It’s really kind of cool to have solar panels on your roof.
Bill Gates
- We need to bring sustainable energy to every corner of the globe with technologies like solar energy mini-grids, solar powered lights, and wind turbines.
It’s time for the human race to enter the solar system.
-
The sun–that power plant in the sky–bathes Earth in ample energy to fulfill all the world’s power needs many times over. It doesn’t give off carbon dioxide emissions. It won’t run out. And it’s free.
We have this handy fusion reactor in the sky called the sun, you don’t have to do anything, it just works. It shows up every day.
-
The solar system is so humongous big.
Solar, for example – which has typically been thought of as so expensive – is cheap when compared with, for example, the cost of cleaning up the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the Gulf.
- There’s life all over this universe, but the only life in the solar system is on earth, and in the whole universe we are the only men.
- The main problem with solar on the Earth’s surface is that it is so intermittent, and we don’t have decent storage yet.
Every 24 hours, enough sunlight touches the Earth to provide the energy for the entire planet for 24 years.
Martha Maeda
-
All energy is ultimately derived for the sun and harvesting it directly through solar power seems to be the best way to transition to renewable energy.
-
Solar bursts typically last from half a minute to a couple of minutes and often sound like a rapid hissing noise followed by a gradual decrease back to the original audio level.
-
If we are serious about moving toward energy independence in a cost-effective way, we should invest in solar energy. If we are serious about cutting air and water pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we should invest in solar energy.
-
Solar power is a safe form of nuclear energy. We are using fusion reactions that are 93 million miles away to make light that we then convert to electricity with photovoltaic modules.
-
The source of all the energy is the sun. The big challenge is, how do you use all of that energy? Solar power has to fascinate you. There have been strides to get the costs down, and if this will work, you have to get costs down so it is competitive with fossil fuels.
-
When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system.
Kalpana Chawla
- Solar power is the last energy resource that isn’t owned yet – nobody taxes the sun yet.
- Solar power is going to be absolutely essential to meeting growing energy demands while staving off climate change.
-
If we knew exactly what to expect throughout the Solar System, we would have no reason to explore it.
-
The solar system is off center and consequently man is too.
- Solar power seems to be truly bipartisan in its appeal.
- Solar is cost effective right now. When you consider the cost to our health from air pollution, solar is just as competitive as any other energy source.
-
There are essential and inessential insanities. The later are solar in character, the former are linked to the moon.
Tom Robbins

Thomas Edison
“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.”
Anybody with any sense knows the whole solar system will go up like a celluloid collar by-and-by.
Thomas Massie
“My house is solar powered. I tell Republicans, ‘You can hate the subsidies – I hate the subsidies, too – but you can’t hate solar panels.”
-
The use of solar energy offers huge potential for natural resource and climate protection, and for the expansion of renewable energies on the road to a future-oriented energy supply.
-
Lynn Jurich
“For every family in liberal San Francisco that went solar with SunRun in 2010, nearly eight families in more conservative Fresno made the switch to our solar power service
-
The whole idea of the solar project is to do something useful and replace dirty energy with clean energy.
-
Jim Inhofe
“ Solar energy is bound to be in our future. There’s a kind of inevitability about it.”
-
The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.
-
Ted Turner
” Even if we didn’t have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we’re going to run out. They’re finite, whereas solar and wind are infinite.”
-
Solar power is clean, renewable and cost effective, but it also needs time to develop.
-
George Porter
“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.”
Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of… permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power.
Every 24 hours, enough sunlight touches the Earth to provide the energy for the entire planet for 24 years.
The use of solar energy offers huge potential for natural resource and climate protection, and for the expansion of renewable energies on the road to a future-oriented energy supply.
MARGARETA WOLF, speech, June 20, 2004
Clearly, we need more incentives to quickly increase the use of wind and solar power; they will cut costs, increase our energy independence and our national security and reduce the consequences of global warming.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, speech at Cleantech Venture Forum VIII, October 25, 2005
