By adopting the control strategy, the nation's environmental program has created a built-in antagonism between environmental quality and economic growth.

Nothing ever dies, nothing ever goes away.

Technologists practice faith too; 'Faith that problems have solutions before having the knowledge to solve them.'

Despite the dazzling successes of modern technology and the unprecedented power of modern military systems, they suffer from a common and catastrophic fault. While providing us with a bountiful supply of food, with great industrial plants, with high-speed transportation, and with military weapons of unprecedented power, they threaten our very survival.

If environmentalism is a fad, it will be the last one.

The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.

The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.
