Here we are 17 years later. Those agencies never did come through (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)

The Empathic Civilization is emerging. A younger generation is fast extending its empathic embrace beyond religious affiliations and national identification to include the whole of humanity and the vast project of life that envelops the Earth (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)

The hydrogen economy will make possible a vast redistribution of power, with far-reaching consequences for society. Today’s centralized, top-down flow of energy, controlled by global oil companies and utilities, could become obsolete (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
Companies that actually survive and flourish are going to change their business model from production to aggregating the networks and the network services and solutions. If you’re a construction company or an IT company or a logistics company or an information data operation, to the extent that you can find ways to help build the commons, you can get some commercial value in that (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
Back in the mid-1980s, congressional hearings were held after we brought this litigation, and held up the first experiment. At that time, I went in front of Congress, along with the major agencies involved with this (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether. (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
Basic income is not a utopia, it’s a practical business plan for the next step of the human journey. (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)

In this country, the health concerns and the environmental concerns are as deep as in Europe. All the surveys show that. But here, we didn’t have the cultural dimension. This is a fast-food culture. (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
So my attorneys brought litigation in the U.S. federal courts. The judge ruled in our favor. (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
We are entering a new phase in human history - one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population. (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
The world’s environment can no longer handle beef (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
Can we reach biosphere consciousness and global empathy in time to avert planetary collapse? (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
We are learning that the earth functions like an invisible organism. We are the various cells of one living being. Those who work to save the earth are its antibodies (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
What I’m suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn’t do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
The interesting thing is, while we die of diseases of affluence from eating all these fatty meats, our poor brethren in the developing world die of diseases of poverty, because the land is not used now to grow food grain for their families (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved, or even raised. If you're a farmer and you're growing a genetically engineering food crop, those genes are going to flow to the other farm (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
What's different here is that we have now technologies that allow these life science companies to bypass classical breeding. That's what makes it both powerful and exciting (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right, and there’s no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
They’re now turning those seeds into intellectual property, so they have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for our food and survival (Jeremy Rifkin Quotes)
