• We must not let ourselves be swept off our feet in horror at the danger of nuclear power. Nuclear power is not infinitely dangerous. It's just dangerous, much as coal mines, petrol repositories, fossil-fuel burning and wind turbines are dangerous.

• Parece que olvidamos que todo lo que es bueno para el medio ambiente es un trabajo. Los paneles solares no se instalan solos. Los aerogeneradores no se fabrican solos. Las casas no se reacondicionan por sí solas y ponen sus propias calderas y hornos nuevos y ventanas y puertas mejor ajustadas. Los cultivos avanzados para biocombustibles no se plantan solos. Los huertos comunitarios no se cultivan solos. Los mercados agrícolas no funcionan solos. Todo lo que es bueno para el medio ambiente es en realidad un trabajo, un contrato o una oportunidad empresarial.

• Antes pensaba que Cape Wind era una gran idea. Eso fue cuando Ted Kennedy estaba vivo y se quejaba de cómo podría derramar su Chivas si tenía que seguir maniobrando el Mya alrededor de todas esas ruidosas turbinas eólicas asesinas de gaviotas. Yo estaba a favor de todo lo que Ted Kennedy rechazaba.
