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
That's one component: rather than creating job-training pipelines that put these kids at the back of the line for the last century's pollution-based jobs, we need to be creating opportunities for them to be at the front of the line for the new clean and green jobs.

Van Jones
Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for sustainability, which nobody understands.
Van Jones
Maybe we should be a little bit more tender-hearted.
Van Jones
We have to accept that some very toxic stuff was marbled into the Trump phenomenon.
Van Jones
The dirty energy crowd can be offset only by the power of the rising clean energy sector and the American people, aroused across party lines.
Van Jones
We're getting back what we're putting out.
Van Jones
We need to think bigger, dream bigger, and get bigger.
Van Jones
Any successful long-term strategy will require that the green wave fully and passionately embrace the principles of eco-equity.
Van Jones
We know that urban farms require less fuel for tractors and transport, but community gardens don't plant themselves.
Van Jones
The boundless capacity of the African American spirit in this country to say Hallelujah anyhow, to use our joy as a weapon, to use our creativity as a weapon, to use our moral clarity and our deep experience as a weapon not just to save Black people but to save all of these people.
Van Jones
