More quotes by 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
Keith Ellison is the future of the Democratic Party, the future of the progressive movement.
Van Jones
I think it would be good to get somebody a job. Right now we're in a bubble of green rhetoric and a bowl of actual green investment and job creation. So my goal for next year is to move from inspiration to implementation on this stuff.
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 problem that we have is that most Americans don't even study American history, let alone Pinochet, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and all these guys.
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
I'm saying you should have the right not only to be an energy consumer but an energy producer. Follow the money to understand why my message keeps getting drowned out. Big oil and big coal are terrified by the green jobs message.
Van Jones
Steve Bannon is the architect of the entire blitzkrieg that we're seeing against American values and the American people.
Van Jones
Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Here's an issue where his concern is this line with public opinion, but the way he deals with it is actually puts him in a super minority in terms of people who are able to somehow bring himself to support his language and demeanor.
Van Jones
Dr. King didn't get famous giving a speech that said,I have a complaint.
Van Jones
The main piece of technology in the green economy is a caulk gun.
Van Jones
Big government? Who wants that? I just want effective government. That means America's government needs to be big in some places, small in others and non-existent in others.
Van Jones
We should use the transition to a better energy strategy as an opportunity to create a better economy and a better country all around.
Van Jones
Now, we can live in this little, liberal bubble bath where everybody's supposed to like everybody and do all this stuff and understand our pain and know our history. But that, maybe, works in your dorm, that doesn't work in the real world, and people need to get out of all that.
Van Jones
I hope everybody's getting smarter.
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
For me, I think that the struggle around how to deal with Islam in the United States is the defining moral struggle of this half of the new century.
Van Jones
I'm excited about our rising generation.
Van Jones
The time has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism. Ecopopulism. To change our laws and culture, the green movement justice, political solutions and social change.
Van Jones
I think we were naive during the first two years of the [Barack] Obama Administration because the Republicans didn't fight us on this point during the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama and McCain both ran on a clean energy platform. But now, uncontested lies have eroded hard-won public understanding. So, we have to go back and make the case again.
