Conventional turbines only work up to 200 feet, but capturing a small fraction of the global wind energy at higher altitudes could be sufficient to supply the current energy needs of the globe. – Saul Griffith
There’s a tendency for people to think that celebrities do whatever they want, spend whatever they want, and it’s completely out of control. While some of that may be true, I’ve never met a celebrity who threw caution to the wind and thought they could do anything. That’s not the thought process. – Willie Aames
Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second. – William James
It’s important to understand that oil and renewables do different things. Wind and solar are for power generation, so they don’t replace oil. About 70% of all oil produced is used for transportation fuel. Renewables are good projects, but they don’t get us off of foreign oil. – T. Boone Pickens
Energy legislation in Congress and the focus on energy legislation is first and foremost about creating good jobs.

I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat… eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives. – Theo Jansen
I wanted to be like Vivien Leigh in ‘Gone With the Wind.’ I wanted to have black hair, green eyes and break hearts. – Terry Farrell
Some people do stage and film. Some people are film actors, and some people are stage actors. I’m quite sure that any of the actors who did the original production of ‘August’ could have done the film of ‘August.’ I don’t think any of them were particularly surprised when they didn’t wind up doing the film. – Tracy Letts
Tribes have the potential to provide almost 15 percent of the country’s electricity with wind power, and have 4.5 times the solar resources to power the entire U.S. – Winona LaDuke
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind. – William Golding
Al Gore is not just whistling in the wind. Global warming is for real. Every scientist knows that now, and we are on our way to the destruction of every species on earth, if we don’t pay attention and reverse our course. – Theodore C. Sorensen
