Begun Quotes
The persistent, toxic chemicals we identified in this study are important, heavily used industrial substances, some of which are produced in quantities up to 500 million pounds a year. At the very least, Americans have a right to know if companies are releasing these pollutants into their communities. In fact, we should have begun tracking these pollutants years ago. Instead of curbing reports on the most worrisome pollutants to please industry, the Bush Administration should be expanding the tracking system to inform and protect the public.

Advantage Quotes
Environmentalists should like fracking for its relative cleanliness. But they don't. They have made a bugaboo out of the chemicals in fracking fluids, which supposedly can leach into groundwater sources. I'm convinced they're dead wrong. Ultimately, good technology with a cost advantage will win out over paranoia.

Build Quotes
With a trustworthy computer model of combustion, engineers can design improved engines or fuel blends without needing to build and test so many different versions. The database of chemical reactions needed for such a computer program is too big to be filled in strictly with measured numbers, and we have to rely on chemical rate theory to calculate much of this database. Our experiments are important for showing how far we should trust these calculations.
