"There’s no such thing as a free lunch." is a sort-of common saying among environmentalist educators pointing out the fact that even the "good alternatives" are still problematic and not perfect--that our problem lies not so much in how we generate fuel and energy, but the fact that we require so much in the first place.

"If I believed I would believe that you’re the one they talk about. If I believed I would believe that you’re the one they call upon."

The first time I heard this I immediately thought of the anti-Christ, but who knows.
