Everybody needs to understand that policies are going to change to make it unprofitable if you wreck the planet, those companies that continue exploring and developing fossil fuel resources for which there is no safe use are going to pay a very heavy cost for that. – Jeffrey Sachs	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
We have a nearly complete human fossil skeleton to describe and study in detail. It is a dream, his morphology offers a rare glimpse on the earliest phase of the evolutionary history of Neanderthals and on one of the most crucial events in human evolution. He can help us better understand when — and, in particular, how — Neanderthals evolved. – Di Vincenzo	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
We think we can lower the cost of maintenance by two to three cents per kilowatt hour. That is a game changer from standpoint of the viability of wind energy. It becomes absolutely competitive with the fossil fuels that we rely on today, without subsidies it starts to become cost competitive. – Doug Adams	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
This technology is about as green as it gets, as we do not need to use fossil fuels and we are effectively using a waste product that will be in plentiful supply. – Ioannis Ieropoulos	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
As the world increasingly limits carbon emissions and moves to alternative energy sources, investments in fossil fuels and related technologies ... may take a huge hit, there are already a few specific examples of this having happened. – Paul Fisher	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Investing in (solar) energy is much better than investing in the construction of dams and exploration for fossil fuels. – Naseer Ahmad	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Data collection concerning end-Cretaceous dinosaurs happened to start at about the same time in both Europe and North America – around the middle of the 19th century, it is only by chance (a combination between mainly better rock availability and more human effort poured into this line of research) that the North American fossil record grew more rapidly and soon become the best one in the world for that particular time period. As such, it captured attention and was used as a template to understand end-Cretaceous extinction. The data was harder to gather in other continents, including Europe, and the resolution of the European fossil record is still far from that coming from North America. But its growth is spectacular (we know probably twice as much about late Cretaceous fossil vertebrates from Europe then we knew like 20 years ago), and that is due to the activity of a large number of mainly young researchers working all across Europe. – Zoltan Csiki-Sava	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
There's such a huge gap in our understanding around the time when the common ancestor of birds and crocodilians was alive — there isn't a lot out there in the fossil record from that part of the reptile family tree. – Sterling Nesbitt	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
We worry a little bit that the price signal may give disincentive for new energy types to develop, and could reduce investment in new non-fossil energy. – Zhou Xiaochoan	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
When she showed me this fossil, I just about fell on the floor, it was so amazing. – Janet Waddington	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
It's a very interesting fossil, and it's very small, it's surprising that something so tiny could have so much information in it. – Sam Giles	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
It's a fossil fuel reserve. Like mining all the coal or mining all the oil, once you've mined it … it's gone. – Ian Crawford	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Greater global attention to climate policy ... means that fossil fuel companies are becoming increasingly risky for investors in terms of the delivery of long-term returns, i would expect prudent investors in energy to shift increasingly towards low-carbon energy sources. – Paul Ekins	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Policy makers must realise that their instincts to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries are wholly incompatible with their commitments to the 2 degrees C goal. – Christophe McGlade	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
For me it was amazing how great the condition of the fossil was, [But Louise] was actually quite mortified by its condition. She told me it used to be much better. – Denis Baev	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
It is not easy to study dinosaur sounds, vertebrates usually vocalize with soft tissues, and soft tissues rarely preserve in the fossil record. – Lindsey Zanno	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
Then there are those regions that have good solar radiation and high fossil fuel prices such as Japan which is not an obvious place for this sort of system, but where we see a lot of potential. – Gianluca Ambrosetti	Found on CNN 9 years ago
That was the most that any landowner had ever gotten (for a dinosaur fossil in the ground), we shook hands and he (Williams) was pretty excited about seeing it set up in the museum. – Peter Larson	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Anybody who had any idea what a fossil versus a rock (looked like) would have seen it, there (were) a lot of broken bones dribbling down (and) about 8 feet up the side of the cliff, there were three articulated vertebrae and a couple of other pieces of bone sticking out. – Sue Hendrickson	Found on CNN 9 years ago
There is only one fossil of this enigmatic animal after 30 years of collecting by our Chinese colleagues at Chengjiang, it is exceptionally rare, but it shows us just how strange and varied the shapes of early animals could be. – Tom Harvey	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
We cannot allow the fossil fuel industry, whose products are the main cause of climate change, to take the limited funds intended for responding to the devastating impacts of climate change, renewable energy must be prioritized in the distribution of climate funding and fossil fuels excluded. – Samantha Smith	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
With a concept like zero emissions and 'let's knock fossil fuels out of the picture', without clear technology diffusion and international cooperation program, you are really not helping the process. – Khalid AbuLeif	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
We think that Harvard is not a corporation and that profit shouldn't be our main motivator, our main motivator should be about the students. And how can we invest in fossil fuel companies that are threatening our futures? It's an immoral bet against my generation. – Chloe Maxmin	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Eventually, subsidies to all fossil fuels should be phased out, we are eliminating all export credits in the support that we give to developing countries whenever coal is used. – President Francois Hollande	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
