I have to have faith that we're going to succeed in transforming where we get our energy from. The big worry is whether or not we're going to do it before it's too late. And I think nobody knows the answer to that.

When your science runs into a policy roadblock, all of a sudden the science starts to disappear.

I really hate to be Debbie Downer right now, because everyone would love to say, "Yeah, we're finally doing something on climate!

We're not living in a society that science actually dominates the conversation. We're living in a situation where some science is allowed and a lot of it's about policy.

I think 'Gasland' is the doorway for a lot of people to see something happening in their backyard and realize the national and global implications.

I'm a night owl, and luckily my profession supports that. The best ideas come to me in the dead of night.

The problem is that everywhere the gas drilling industry goes, a trail of water contamination, air pollution, health concerns and betrayal of basic American civic and community values follows.
