More quotes by Van Jones
There are 80,000 jobs in the wind energy industry right now. And you can quadruple that number, if you have the right policy in place to promote clean energy.
Van Jones
Now I think liberals have gone from underreacting to Trump and saying that Trump is just a clown and a buffoon, and that Hillary Clinton's going to kick his ass, to now overreacting, and saying, Oh my God, 60 million people consciously endorsed a white supremacist for president.
Van Jones
We should stop calling ourselves environmentalists - and just call ourselves patriots.
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
All humans have fear, and those of us who are fortunate have faith.
Van Jones
A lot of liberals think all the Trump voters are a part of the alt right, neo Nazi camp, which is not true. That's a tiny, tiny slice.
Van Jones
There is, unfortunately, too large a number of people who are just outright bigots in America. They're nowhere near a majority. They're a small number. But there are people who are in the Alt-Right who are just straight up bigots.
Van Jones
I used to be called the Green Jack Kemp because of my promotion of entrepreneurial and work-based solutions for poor people.
Van Jones
The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.
Van Jones
There's no higher honor, in my estimation, than being asked to serve in the White House.
Van Jones
You know it's not you have to see it to believe it - sometimes you have to believe it to see it. You have to know what you're looking for when you're seeing signs of an authoritarian takeover of your country.
Van Jones
I would argue that we have a patriotic duty to move toward energy independence and clean energy. It is a matter of national security - energy security, climate security, economic security, job security, everything.
Van Jones
Government-mandated and -subsidized ethanol from corn will go down in history as the Iraq War of environmental solutions: ill-considered, costly, and disastrous.
Van Jones
We actually need conservatives to be better conservatives and we need liberals to be better and stronger liberals.
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.
Van Jones
We are talking about capital-intensive enterprises, so market certainty is the key. Investors and entrepreneurs have to know that there will be a guaranteed U.S. renewable energy market in which they can compete. Otherwise, they will create the next generation of green companies and green jobs in Asia, not here.
Van Jones
If we do nothing, the ensuing climate catastrophe will wreck our economy - including wreaking havoc on our food production systems. All credible scientists agree on this point.
Van Jones
People care. Their hearts are open, but people don't know exactly what the Dreamers are going through, or what sanctuary cities are for, or what's positive about the American Muslim community. When you don't know a lot, you can't do a lot.
Van Jones
The message is going to be the same. It's very simple. We're either going to turn to each other or on each other.
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.
