Dave Hamilton Quotations

Attacking energy waste is the cheapest and cleanest thing we can do to address the energy crisis. We have no ethical problem with making dirty things cleaner, but by simply investing in energy efficiently we could create 1.4 million jobs by 2025 and reduce the overall electricity load by 10 percent.

In ways we've looked at pollution in the past, coal has cleaned up. But the bigger problem we face now is carbon dioxide, which clean coal plants still emit.

Then it exploded. We saw reproductive rates that have never been documented before. High litter sizes and young otters reproducing that weren't supposed to be able to reproduce and that sort of thing.

We're at the point where we can't meet the demand of the industry.

We think there would be a lot of problems if we had an established population.

The bodies aren't sitting there. You have to go find them.

We all agree on one thing; there are too many otters in the Ozarks.

The current lack of oil refinery capacity is largely the result of a conscious decision by the oil industry in the 1990s to limit supply to increase profitability. In the 1990s, approximately 50 refineries were closed, and since 1995, over 20 refineries have been shut down.
