More quotes by Van Jones

Van Jones
People in red states and blue states can agree that we are a nation blessed with extraordinary natural wealth and beauty, which we would be foolish to waste therefore conservation and efficiency are values we all can share.

Donald Trump's a hell of a performer, he's a hell of an entertainer. If you put him on and let him say his crazy stuff, you're going to get a lot of viewers. If you take him off and have some sober discussion about what's going on in Syria, you're going to lose 80 percent of your audience.
Van Jones
We need a national renewable energy goal. Such a goal, sometimes called a renewable energy standard (RES), would spell out what percentage of our power America plans to get from renewable sources.
Van Jones
We're going to bake this planet, and be a curse to all species, including our own, if we don't find an alternative to carbon-based fuel. That's the #1 problem.
Van Jones
By kicking its carbon addiction, America will increase its national wealth and generate millions of jobs that can't be outsourced.
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
I think we have every reason to hope for the best but expect and prepare for the worst.
Van Jones
[Donald Trump] has a tremendous opportunity, you know, this week, to come out and say I don't want that.
Van Jones
With the Democrats, they see themselves, we see ourselves as the party of the working folks, the striving, you know, the good. But, without anybody acknowledging it, there is now this little camp of folks who come across as very elitist, that look down on red state voters, who think that Republicans are dumb people.
Van Jones
I do think it's dangerous when you are overly secularizing, and sometimes you get very smart, and sometimes [you] gain a lot of smarts, but you lose a lot of wisdom.
Van Jones
Any successful long-term strategy will require that the green wave fully and passionately embrace the principles of eco-equity.
Van Jones
Progressives always like clean energy ideas. But conservatives should like this agenda, too.
