Famous Quotes & Sayings

Whereas today the cost to purchase commercial-grade carbon fiber is between $8 and $10 per pound, the goal is to reduce that figure to between $3 and $5 per pound.

Seth Shostak

A factory that can turn carbon nanotubes into a sheet a yard wide and long enough to stretch one-fourth of the way to the moon is not something you'll find at your local industrial park. That's the show-stopper for the space elevator. The ribbon.

Jamais Cascio

Carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas out there. Other substances, such as water vapor and nitrous oxide, also trap heat to varying degrees.

Sylvia Earle

Every fish fertilizes the water in a way that generates the plankton that ultimately leads back into the food chain, but also yields oxygen, grabs carbon - it's a part of what makes the ocean function and what makes the planet function.

Steve Burton

Weld County Road 13 is a part of everyday life in the Carbon Valley, no matter where you live. You use Road 13, and so do your customers.

Bjorn Lomborg

There is no doubt that we should take solar radiation into account. We have seen ground temperatures rising since 1975, and it is important to know to what extent that has been caused by the sun or by carbon dioxide.

Richard Blumenthal

This ruling, if it stands, threatens to undermine and erode our power as states to hold accountable out-of-state polluters who foul our air, ... Carbon dioxide pollution endangers public health and the environment, just as other harmful emissions. These companies must be held accountable and forced to clean up.

We communicated to the patients that the carbon monoxide they inhale from smoking cigarettes is the same poisonous gas that comes out of the tail pipe of their car.

When our crews arrived, they found patients with symptoms that were consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Robert Jackson

The places that are most likely to grow trees for carbon sequestration are places where trees aren't growing now.

Roy Blunt

There may be no issue that better illustrates the differences between Republicans and Democrats than energy. Consider it the 'all of the above' strategy for reducing gas prices, versus the 'all pain, no gain' plan for punishing those who emit carbon (like you).

We have a few injuries in our back line. A couple of our projected starters didn't even play, but the players that went in did a great job. I moved junior midfielder Scott Carbon back to the defense and he played very well. I thought he was the player of the game.

We are committed to doing everything we can to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Nearly every industry in America, from carbon trading to bricklaying, hosts its own back-slapping awards night.

One of the most important things is we can put current levels of carbon dioxide and methane into a long-term context,

Roger McGuinn

I've got an electric little motorcycle that I go to the supermarket with every day, and it's powered by the solar panels, so it's really got a zero carbon footprint.

Marcus Samuelsson

Going meatless reduces our carbon footprint and helps us lead the way towards climate change.

Marcus is just like his dad. He's a carbon copy.

Anne Taintor

I'm interested in humor, and greeting cards just happen to be a perfect medium for my message. They're accessible to everyone, and thanks to all the advances that have been made by environmentally conscientious printers, I can get my message across while keeping my carbon footprint relatively small.

Annalee Newitz

The fact that we have been able to perturb the carbon cycle with our industrial revolution is evidence of how vulnerable we are - because when we destroy our environments, we destroy our food and energy supplies. In short, we destroy ourselves.

Annalee Newitz

Some time ago we discovered the carbon cycle - a long-term set of chemical reactions that govern climates based on how much carbon is free in the atmosphere. At that point, it became clear that humans were affecting our environments far more profoundly than we realized. By releasing so much carbon and greenhouse gas into the environment, we're making long-term changes to every aspect of the natural world.

Ann Coulter

The only place Al Gore conserves energy these days is on the treadmill. I don't want to suggest that Al's getting big, but the last time I saw him on TV I thought, "That reminds me we have to do something about saving the polar bears." Never mind his carbon footprint have you seen the size of Al Gore's regular footprint lately? It's almost as deep as Janet Reno's.

Jim Yong Kim

The water issue is critically related to climate change. People say that carbon is the currency of climate change. Water is the teeth.

Bruce Dickinson

I'm trying to be as green as I can. As an airline pilot, I have a carbon footprint that's a size 10, so it's pretty hard.

David Roberts

The black line is carbon emissions to date. The red line is the status quo - a projection of where emissions will go if no new substantial policy is passed to restrain greenhouse gas emissions.

Marsha Blackburn

There are some that feel like human activity is the cause for carbon emissions, and because of that, we need to revert to where we were in the 1870s for carbon emissions. I just choose to disagree with that.

Denis Leary

My goal is to leave this planet with the biggest carbon footprint I can possibly leave.

David Suzuki

Just as human activity is upsetting Earth's carbon cycle, our actions are altering the water cycle.

Martin O'Malley

We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources.

We're hoping that the carbon monoxide was just a byproduct of the explosion.

John Hurt

We're not approaching it to make a carbon copy of what we did last time but we've tended to come back to the way we were thinking then. More to the point, I'm creeping up toward being old enough for it now.

Leonard Susskind

Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence.

So as you increase carbon dioxide, plant growth is actually boosted,
