More quotes by Van Jones
I think there's going to be a tug of war in this country over who are the real patriots because at a time of national crisis, economic collapse and calamity, ecological peril and social dislocation, the American people deserve to be a partner to the American government.

Higher energy costs are unavoidable in all future scenarios.
Van Jones
We're getting back what we're putting out.
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.

You put Hillary Clinton up against Donald Trump, I'm scared of the choice no matter what you do.
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
The problem isn't that the green jobs aren't sexy enough. It's that they're not plentiful enough. A young person looking for a job isn't looking just for a sexy job, they're looking for any job.
Van Jones
Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for sustainability, which nobody understands.
Van Jones
The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.
Van Jones
I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.

[Donald Trump] is a horrible human being, but he ain't worse than Bull Connor. Fannie Lou loved Bull Connor and beat Bull Connor because she loved him.
Van Jones
To change our laws and culture, the green movement must attract and include the majority of all people, not just the majority of affluent people.
Van Jones
The problem is that we didn't fight the way we should've fought. We made it be about [Donald Trump] and [Hillary Clinton] as opposed to making it be about us. If we had said this was a fight, not about I'm with Her but I'm with Us then maybe we would've had a different attitude toward her.
Van Jones
Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and nobody else, trying to hurt America.
Van Jones
God chooses community sometimes to bear an unfair burden to force us to rise to the next level of consciousness and understanding.
Van Jones
I'm not calling for redistributing wealth I'm calling for reinvigorating our stuck energy sector, so some new entrepreneurs can create some new wealth.
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 [Donald ] Trump goes after - if Trump fails, frankly, to stand up right now for the Muslim community - right now, Muslims are being bullied. Women wearing hijabs are being bullied and people are saying, Trump, Trump! when they're doing it.
Van Jones
Asia is rising economically - and is thirsty for oil. The price pressures on oil and oil price shocks, due to Asia's economic rise, mean that all steps made now to reduce oil dependence will protect us from pain and volatility later.
Van Jones
Sometimes we overemphasize the political system. There are other ways to make a difference. There's technology, there's media, there's business.
