\u201cI think one of the challenges is that we\u2019ve got to recognize that there are limits to the resources that are available to us. We\u2019ve got an economy that\u2019s built on consuming a lot of energy that for all the things that we\u2019d like and need to have, it\u2019s going to require more and more energy, and we can\u2019t be blind to that. We\u2019ve got to figure out what\u2019s real about the future of resources and how much are available to us. It is not endless.\u201d

\u201cWe really have to have people understand that the transition to clean energy is critical\u2026 We have to figure out how to transition these industries that are a major part of our economy. It\u2019s about an economic question, not an environmental one.\u201d

\u201cWhen you come into thinking about changing the energy mix in the world, you\u2019re talking about changing the global economy in a major, major way.\u201d

\u201cI wrote an article for\xa0 fortune several years ago.\xa0 A lot of what happened in Syria had to do with a serious drought that displaced 1.5 million people that had otherwise lived on agriculture. They ended up being in refugee camps around the major cities that made them susceptible to not having any money and being recruited by some of the rebel groups\xa0 like Al-Qaida and the others\xa0 that needed bodies.\xa0 Whether they were believers or not, they did it because they could make some money. Drought played a role in all of that unrest.\u201d

\xa0

Worst Clean Energy Moment:\xa0 \u201cWhen I went to a Scripps institution of Oceanography conference and heard how the military plans\xa0 for what\u2019s possible. People were worried because they knew that disruptions from climate change would cause unrest that would then lead to deploying the military.\u201d

\xa0

Best Advice he\u2019s ever received: Think about energy not as a commodity, but as a capital cost.

\xa0

Most Energized about today: The move of companies to recognize that their primary goal is no longer just to make as much money as they can -\xa0 they\u2019ve got to address stakeholders interests, too.
