Following are paraphrased AG Quotes from Tweets by A Siegel @A_Siegell sent live on location from the ARPA-e conference/ Clemon's interview

*We have $22T in stranded assets in fossil fuels. @algore #arpae16 @ARPA #Divest #KeepitintheGround


*Economic calculation ignore externalities: negative (pollution) AND positive @algore @arpa #ARPAE16


*Last 18 months, fossil fuel assets have lost $100T in value @algore @arpa #arpae16


*The $22T in subprime assets something like 'Big Short' -- divestment has #climate and #financial imperative. @algore @arpa #arpae16


*.@algore: @ARPAE has proven its value. #ARPAE16


*Article on @algore's 'investment genius' cited on stage #ARPAE16. www.theatlantic.com/... @ARPAE


*.@algore: "@PaulPolman (@Unilever) one of the most innovative Corporate leaders in the world". #ARPAE16 @ARPAE


*"Job 1 is best return for our clients" even while seeking to advance positives. @algore #ARPAE16 @ARPAE


*"When you can do both [financial & social return], you put pressure on others to pay attention" @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16 #investment


*Core question in #investment: Do you have a shadow price on #carbon? @algore #ARPAE16 @ARPAE #ActOnClimate #Climate


*Carbon is indicator of inefficiency -- and thus shadow price good guidepost for investing. @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16


*We are absolutely, absolutely at an inflection point (re renewables, #solar, #pv, etc). @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16


*.#Solar now at inflection point of #grid parity: #pv prices going down 10%/year for decades. @algore @ARPAE No sign of it stopping. #ARPAE16


*.@SCClemons to @algore: are we done, do we have every thing for #climate/#energy revolution? @ARPAE #ARPAE16 #ActOnClimate #Climate


*We have the momentum, but it matters how fast we #ActOnClimate. @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16 #Climate


*Those trying us to prevent moves to #ActOnClimate are spending $1B/year on #tobacco-like disinformation. @algore


*As a byproduct of making money, creating jobs, ... we can save the future of humanity. @algore @ARPAE #ActOnClimate #Climate #ARPAE16


*We, a long time ago, woke up that we can't use Potomac or Thames River as a sewer. @algore @ARPAE #ActOnClimate #ARPAE16


*We can't treat atmosphere as a sewer any longer. @algore @ARPAE #ARPA16 #ActOnClimate


*.@SCClemons: Do you watch @GOP debates? Only Kasich has anything near rational to say on #climate. #ARPAE16 @algore @ARPAE


*Your advice to environmental orgs? @SCClemons to @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16: Price on #carbon or #KeepItIntheGround? Response: All Of The Above


*How do you grade @BARACKOBAMA: @SCClemons to @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16. First 3 months of 1st term, started well and then not really satisfied


*Since 2d inauguration speech, @BarackObama has been outstanding on #Climate. @algore @ARPAE #ARPAE16 #ActOnClimate @POTUS


*We are lucky to have @BarackObama as @POTUS. @algore #ARPAE16 @ARPAE
