Coal boosters like to tout coal as cheap and plentiful - well, not anymore. At least not in China.

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.

The biggest tab the public picks up for fossil fuels has to do with what economists call 'external costs,' like the health effects of air and water pollution.

Ethanol doesn't burn cleaner than gasoline, nor is it cheaper.

But Big Oil and Big Coal have always been as skilled at propaganda as they are at mining and drilling. Like the tobacco industry before them, their success depends on keeping Americans stupid.

Extracting oil from the tar sands is a nasty, polluting, energy-intensive business.

I was never afraid on stage. That's where I was the least afraid. I could just do what I do and I had the amplification and the lights.

The easiest thing I can say is simple, but paradoxical in this era of total sampling: Be original.

Maybe today I would call Fred Leuchter and there would be two or three other documentary filmmakers interested in his story simply because of the exposure.

Perfect courage and utter cowardice are two extremes which rarely occur.
