Nul doute en effet que l’énergie nucléaire ne soit une des formes de l’énergie du monde de demain et, si nous ne disons pas qu’elle en sera la forme d’utilisation définitive, c’est qu’il faut réserver sa place à l’énergie solaire, si abondante, de si haute qualité et dont la mise en œuvre par la technique vient à peine de commencer.

Louis Armand, 1958

Atomic energy unquestionably will be made extremely cheap – like ’free air’ at the service stations. Our automobiles eventually will have atomic energy units built into them at the factory so that we will never have to refuel them. So will large airplanes . . . In a relatively short time we will cease to mine coal.

New York Herald Tribune, 1945

Don’t get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It’s just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there’s an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it’s wireless!

William McDonough, Fortune Brainstorm Conference, 2006
