''On behalf of planet citizens and within the global open source, Wiki networking community, GreenPolicy360 would like to take this time, following the historic next-step accomplishments of the 2015 Paris climate summit, to send multi-language "greening our blue planet" thanks to our former advisor, Bill McKibben.''
''Back when we were in our start-up phase with the Green Institute, we approached Bill to join our advisor group and although he was deeply involved in his [http://www.billmckibben.com/deep-economy.html "Deep Economy"] book and in initial phases of his start-up with the climate change/global warming movement group that became [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/350.org 350.org], he agreed to add his name to the Green Institute and share his thoughts as we conceived sharing "best green practices" via global online networking.''
''I personally want to thank Bill, a voice of our generation who feels deeply and acts with persistence and foresight to advance the critical, even life-enabling, work that all of us in the larger green, environmental movement are attempting. The climate change work is opening eyes now across the globe, in every country, every community.''
''Thank you Bill.''
''You are a true planet citizen.''

''From GrnPolicy: Elon Musk spoke of how the iconic whole earth [http://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Blue_Marble_photo_-_Apollo_17.jpg "Blue Marble"] photo of Earth had inspired him to dream and to move his technology plans toward a space & earth connection...''
'''''Elon speaks of the danger to Earth's atmosphere, our planet's [http://www.thinbluelayer.com 'thin blue layer']''''': '''''"We’re running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe.”'''''
''"The greater the change to the chemical composition of the physical, chemical makeup of the oceans and atmosphere [due to increased carbon emissions], the greater the long-term effect will be... [W]hy would you run this crazy experiment to see how bad it'll be? We know it's at least some bad, and the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it'll be 'really bad'."''
''“As far as Earth is concerned, I think the biggest problem that humanity faces is one of sustainable energy. If we don’t solve that problem this century, independent of any environmental concerns, we will face economic collapse… This is obvious.”''
*'''''"(Physics) good framework for thinking. Boil things down to fundamental truths and reason up from there."'''''
''On consciousness: *"I came to the conclusion that really we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment."''
''On vision: "Going from PayPal, I thought well, what are some of the other problems that are likely to most affect the future of humanity? Not from the perspective, 'what's the best way to make money,' which is okay, but, it was really 'what do I think is going to most affect the future of humanity.'"''
*'''''"We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world."'''''

*'''''"Good ideas are always crazy until they’re not."'''''
*'''''"The answer was we thought it could be done."'''''
''On Solar and Renewable Energy'': '''''"By definition we must move towards renewable energy... How can people argue against that? To argue that is to say that eventually we will run out of energy and die or civilization will collapse."'''''
''"When you have an unpriced externality, you can’t quite rely on the market to do the right thing. So in order to have electric vehicles come sooner than they otherwise would — electric vehicles were always going to be the long-term transportation mechanism, but to make that day come sooner — you have to bridge that gap with innovation."''

''Solar needs "a massive volume of stationary battery packs"''
''Tesla isn't just a car company. Musk has announced plans to build a $5 billion Giga factory that will produce 35 gigawatt-hours of lithium-ion batteries per year -- more than the capacity of all the batteries on the planet today combined.''
''"This will allow us to achieve a major reduction in the cost of our battery packs and accelerate the pace of battery innovation," Musk said in a Tesla investor newsletter. "This will also allow us to address the solar power industry’s need for a massive volume of stationary battery packs."''
'''''"Solar power [with] batteries will be the primary (not exclusive) means of sustainable energy production... solar power will be the single largest source of electricity generation by the mid-point of the century."'''​''
'''''On perseverance: "If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it."'''''
