More quotes by Van Jones
In the fourth quadrant (lower right), working-class people are motivated to take on green-collar jobs and start green businesses.
Van Jones
I saw in the Nineties that we were increasing police power with get tough policies and 3 strikes laws, but without additional oversights.
Van Jones
It is extremely disappointing to me to see that even now when leading Democrats and even military veterans try to make our energy future an area of common ground and not a battleground, they are still being rebuffed by dirty energy devotees in both parties and undermined overall by the polluter lobby.
Van Jones
There's a lot of things that I think you got to deal with. Hillary Clinton had to put down a rebellion in her own party, then she's going to have to put down the [Donald] Trump rebellion and then try to govern.
Van Jones
If you think love is weak, that's a personal problem because real love is the strongest thing in the universe.
Van Jones
The main obstacle is the entrenched power of the legacy polluters.
Van Jones
I said and stand by it. I said that race was a part, and there was a part, that alt-right part, that was a part of the whitelash. And if you listened to the whole quote, you would agree with what I said.
Van Jones
Apparently, the fossil-fuel industry's strategy is to convince the American people that we should just burn all the way through the last of our oil and coal reserves.
Van Jones
Clean energy is hippy power. But its also cowboy power, it's rancher power, it's Appalachian power.
Van Jones
The Russians have had and continue to have an active program to undermine American society.
Van Jones
Donald Trump understood the dynamics of the new media system better than the people who ran the old media system.
Van Jones
If we stand for change, we can spark a popular movement with power, influence, magic and genius.
Van Jones
The problem is that we didn't fight the way we should've fought. We made it be about [Donald Trump] and [Hillary Clinton] as opposed to making it be about us. If we had said this was a fight, not about I'm with Her but I'm with Us then maybe we would've had a different attitude toward her.
Van Jones
Even if we can solve the carbon problem for coal, it is still a non-renewable resource. At some point, coal supplies will drop.
Van Jones
I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
Van Jones
It's a tremendous challenge now: to make sure the green economy is big enough that there is enough labor demand that people who've been thrown out of work can be re-employed AND people who are new to the workforce can be employed. And that is going to be very difficult.
Van Jones
The Trump phenomenon has a lot of really good stuff in it, the anti-elitism, the concern for America's economy in the Rust Belt, the desire to see better days for the country. That's all great stuff. Some of that stuff is Bernie Sanders stuff. The problem is that it's marbled through with xenophobia and misogyny and bigotry.
Van Jones
Donald Trump was underrated, but he understood social media and he understood reality television.
Van Jones
In addition, black folks need to attend green conferences, too. We just self-segregate and don't go. They might even waive your fee if you apply on a diversity basis, because they'd be so shocked to see somebody from a different background wanting to be a part of the green movement.
Van Jones
We should not allow the fundamentalists and the bigots to take over and speak for the great faiths any more than we should let them take over and speak for the great nation.
