More quotes by Van Jones
Right now, the government is spending billions of dollars supporting the problem-makers in the U.S. economy - the polluters, despoilers, incarcerators, and warmongers.
Van Jones
The more we deploy the technologies to capture wind and solar power, the cheaper those technologies become.
Van Jones
Hatred of the people who hate you, that is the opposite of being the enemy. I want to fight fire with water wherever I can.
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
Come, then, let us go forward together with our united strength - and win a better future for generations to come.
Van Jones
That we could live in a country with no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, and no middle class to speak of, is wrong it's a crime against the next generation and we've got to do something about it.
Van Jones
To shift America (and the world) to a cleaner energy economy, millions of people will have to go to work in new industries. This necessary shift opens up tremendous new opportunities for work and wealth creation.

Right now, when you go and hit the light switch in your house, you're participating in a state-protected monopoly. You're being forced to accept dirty power from a single producer.
Van Jones

Van Jones
The laws of spiritual physics will not allow you to lead somebody that you don't love, that you don't care about, that you resent, that you look down on. That's why the Republicans can't lead black people. And that's why Democrats increasingly can't lead these straight, white, male demons that we hate so much.
Van Jones
[Donald Trump] has a tremendous opportunity, you know, this week, to come out and say I don't want that.
Van Jones
There are only two ways to have a middle class in your country: either you have highly skilled manufacturing jobs, or you have a highly skilled, well trained, knowledge-based workforce. In other words, college.
Van Jones
To make sure we aren't training people for jobs that don't exist, the government should provide companies with loans or loan guarantees. And the government should also directly employ people to do things like coastal restoration, land restoration, reforestation and similar programs that absorb carbon and protect America's beauty.
Van Jones
[Donald] Trump phenomenon is just marbles with all this toxic stuff, the misogyny, the outright bigotry and so now people are left to try to pull this apart.
Van Jones
Trump is holding together the shakiest coalition that you could conceivably govern on. It is a conservative, populist alliance that agrees with itself on very little.
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
Each and every one of us should stop playing small and license ourselves to become one of the giants of the new century. We will need champions by the truckload.
Van Jones
You have a new media system and Donald Trump emerged as a new master of it.
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.
