The public has an incredible capacity for appreciating the wonder of our planet, our solar system, our universe.

Man must at all costs overcome the Earth's gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System.

The solar system should be viewed as our backyard, not as some sequence of destinations that we do one at a time.

What I want to look at with Webb is what we call ice giants in our solar system - the planets Neptune and Uranus.

We're going to find Marses and maybe Earths out in the solar system's attic of the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt.

I hope that by 2050 the entire solar system will have been explored and mapped by flotillas of tiny robotic craft.

We are talking about institutionalizing a program on solar development that will outlast the Obama administration.

Solar power is going to be absolutely essential to meeting growing energy demands while staving off climate change.

In the long term, space resources could lead to a thriving new space economy and human expansion into the solar system.

Rooftop solar is the first true form of competition that utilities have ever faced, and that is why they're attacking it.

What the Ten Million Solar Roofs Act does is provide consumer rebates for the purchase and installation of solar systems.

Just think: in all the clean, beautiful reaches of the solar system, our planet alone is a blot; our planet alone has death.

Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms and complexity of processes that rival anything we've seen in the solar system.

We go to learn about our solar system, to search for life, and to understand what happened to Mars so we avoid it ourselves.

We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.

The idea that we're going to replace oil and natural gas with solar and wind, and nothing else, is a hallucinatory delusion.

Before solar, before Sunrun, if consumers wanted electricity, there was a monopoly of someone who told you how much it costs.

We're in the space exploration business, and the outer solar system is a wild, wooly place. We haven't explored it very well.

If we are strategic, if we are smart, Australia can power our future prosperity with solar, wind, geothermal, and tidal energy.

It might be arrogant to think that we're the only living creations in all of the solar systems that there are. Space is so vast.

Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards. Wherever I go I meet innovators of wind power equipment, solar energy operators.

In Congress, I have defended solar energy to safeguard the economic and environmental future of Nevada, and I will continue to do so.

There's life all over this universe, but the only life in the solar system is on earth, and in the whole universe we are the only men.

The costs of solar energy across the world have come down so fast that its growth as a cheap, clean energy source has been exponential.

No other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings; it's this world or nothing. That's a very powerful perception.

When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system.

The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork.

My house is solar powered. I tell Republicans, 'You can hate the subsidies - I hate the subsidies, too - but you can't hate solar panels.'

Suburbia is not going to run on biodiesel. The easy-motoring tourist industry is not going to run on biodiesel, wind power and solar fuel.

If you're creating a whole universe, even if it's a universe squeezed into a solar system, you have to use a little bit of sleight of hand.

There's an idea that London is a planet on its own: that it's starting to diverge from the rest of the solar system. We need to combat that.

Obviously I'd like NASA to follow their charter - the exploration of our solar system and beyond. I'd like to see people someday go to Mars.

One SF prediction that I would like very much to see: Get solar collectors launched to beam energy back home, and get away from fossil fuels.

The campaign finance scandal in America is the global warming of American political life - with cash substituting for deadly solar radiation.

Our solar system is actually a wild frontier, teeming with different, diverse places: planets and moons, millions of objects of ice and rock.

As our sensitivity improves, we are finally seeing planets with longer orbital periods, planetary systems that look more like our solar system.

The romantic appeal of solar sailing has ensured that its advocates consistently come from the worlds of both science fiction and science fact.

I'm an advocate for a full spectrum of energy policy, but we're never going to get there with solar cells that are going to power this country.

I love the idea of solar panels, but they are very expensive. I hope, as living sustainably becomes the norm, they will become more accessible.

I think it's unfair to say that Chinese companies are squeezing out American companies. China has so many solar companies that are failing, too.

It is more likely that more than a century will pass before we know the structure of the chemical atoms as thoroughly as we do our solar system.

Most of the solar system resides beyond the orbits of the asteroids. There is more to learn there about general planetary processes than on Mars.

While the circumnavigation of the solar system seems farfetched, it may not be once the problem of effective anti-gravitational control is solved.

In just a few hundred years, we will have to cover the entire surface of the Earth in solar cells if we want to continue to grow our energy usage.

It is time to declare that the goal of the United States in space is the settlement of the solar system, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars.
