Larry Burns Quotations

Our technology strategy is, in the near term, to improve our gasoline and diesel engines, and for the medium term, we're heavily focused on hybrids.

I would if I could. Coal mining was the best job I ever had.

I don't believe that a hydrogen economy depends on a carbon economy at all.

Fuel cells create a better automobile that's 50 percent more energy-efficient overall and sustainable from energy and safety perspectives.

I believe the second largest concern in the community, besides moving out of downtown, is fragmenting the county services. People want one-stop shopping. People like all their service related things together, and we need to think about simplifying not fragmenting that. I've talked with several judges and they would like to see the courts together with a common jury pool.

Operations Research is gaining more visibility as a competitive business advantage and the Franz Edelman Award does a great job of highlighting outstanding O.R. applications. O.R. transforms business decision-making and this is being increasingly recognized by companies around the world.

Fuel cells and the hydrogen economy are absolutely the next great race for industry.

I want the court to realize we wouldn't have gotten this far without the committee. It wasn't until I publicly admonished the Waxahachie council in their own meeting that some of them showed up to our meetings. I've worked over 150 hours on this committee. I didn't do this to get my name on a plaque but I did this to get the county somewhere.

We don't see this as a question of whether. We see it as a question of when.
