We can produce more per acre on a fifth of the fuel as the industrial food system.

Anxiety is a kind of fuel that activates the fight-or-flight part of the brain in me. It makes sure that a velociraptor isn't around the corner and that you do as much as you possibly can to survive. Because Hollywood has a lot in common with 'Jurassic Park' and its primeval-dinosaur universe.

We should not just consume hydrocarbon fuel but use it to develop nuclear energy, hydro power and renewable energy sources.

The international community must do a better job of controlling the risks of nuclear proliferation. Sensitive parts of the nuclear fuel cycle - the production of new fuel, the processing of weapon-usable material, the disposal of spent fuel and radioactive waste - would be less vulnerable to proliferation if brought under multinational control.

Our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels and the corporate mandate to maximize shareholder value encourages drilling without taking into account the costs to the ocean, even without major spills.

I don't think most books can be justifiably translated on screen. The film versions can't convey the right emotion, fuel your imagination or allow you to visualise every line the way books do.

In the typical economic recovery, a resurgent housing sector helps fuel reemployment and rising incomes.

I argue that for every country to have an independent fuel cycle is the wrong way to go. Because any country which has a complete fuel cycle is a latent nuclear weapons country, in the sense that it is not far from making a nuclear weapon.

You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.

Fossil fuel corporations are supposed to pay the government fair market royalties in exchange for the right to drill on public lands or in federal waters.

While I may not agree with all of President Obama's energy policies, I strongly supported his successful effort to double fuel economy standards for cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

Reading has been the fuel of my motivation: it has changed the direction in which I have traveled, and it has enhanced my creative imagination more than any other activity I have ever pursued.

Regardless of what our national credit rating is, people will always want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, fuel for their cars, and clothes on their backs.

It costs governments money to keep fuel prices low. Oil-rich Yemen, for instance, devotes 9 percent of its GDP to making sure its people don't riot when oil prices rise.

The only clear picture we have from the job cut numbers this year is that employers appear to be confused about the direction this economy is taking, ... Companies are experiencing increased business, but they are also seeing their costs soar due to higher fuel prices, inflation in supplier prices and a weaker dollar, which makes it more expensive to buy foreign parts.

We are seeing a substantial increase in our fuel prices. It's not like it's going to cause us to close our doors, but we would sure like to have that 15 percent to spend elsewhere.

We are proud that these issues have been fully resolved. The agreement validates the charges KBR incurred for completing work to import fuel and refined products at the Army's request and direction -- an issue that has been pending since October 2003.

We are pretty confident that the usability and visual enhancements to the Linux desktop will fuel more growth in this market. We think this should give customers more choice and confidence to begin integrating open solutions.

We believe that the (federal government) has sole authority to regulate fuel economy in order to avoid a patchwork quilt of fuel economy regulations.

There are certain things we have to do, so we have to be ready to pay for it. We can't send a whole shift of police officers home in an effort to cut back on fuel costs.

We're in pretty decent shape as it relates to fuel supply, but who knows what's going to happen here in the next few days.

When you start to have success in athletics and get the adulation and praise that follows, that becomes quite an addiction. It gets you feeling better about yourself -- 'Maybe I am worthy.' That's why it may fuel that passion and drive to be great.

We believe that it is the right of all member nations to enjoy nuclear fuel and peaceful nuclear technology. We will not accept a scientific apartheid.

We're making an assessment of our food and fuel and our own energy levels, it's very exhausting being in small boats in such a hostile environment.

We responded well from a real tough loss last night. That's what a coach always looks for. It was great to come out angry enough to try to put last night out of their heads. We played well most of the night, but a lot of the fuel for that came from last night.

We're spending today, depending upon which agency of government, significantly more money on fire preparedness and treatment than we were spending in 1993, ... I think the real issue is that we have a situation that has been unparalleled in the last 50 years right now, and that has to do with what I call 'the perfect storm' phenomenon of weather and fuel loads.

We respectfully request that you reconvene hearings as soon as possible to take these witnesses sworn testimony about their roles in the Cheney energy task force and the recent run-up in American fuel prices,

We're small so the fuel issue isn't as big, because we don't have dump trucks we run, ... we hire that out. It affects our grader but it's not terrible, and the police car uses a combination of township gas and Dandy gas.

What they've got to do is talk about fuel efficiency.

When we first started working on this Explorer, it became evident that crossovers are the hot spot in the market. Customers are looking for the refinement and fuel economy advantage that they can only get in a crossover.

We bought fuel on Tuesday, and from the previous day it went up 30 cents a gallon, ... You hope tomorrow or the next day it will get better, but who knows when it's going to end?

What's interesting about the questions though is you'll find that the ones that pop up that you don't know the answer to. For instance, what fuel does your dryer use. And it's funny, you say, 'I think it's gas but it could be electric,' and that's certainly something that you should know. So it's a learning process as well.

We're going to have to do something about the fossil fuel issue. I don't think the earth is going to continue to give the way she has the last 100 years.

Unless international tensions ease to the point where the cost of crude oil drops significantly, there's nothing to suggest that consumer fuel prices will be falling anytime in the near future.

With the instruction, we have to reduce oil exports on consideration that it will be more economical and can lower our fuel oil production costs,

With the high cost of fuel for our race teams and fans, we felt it was best to make the call early as opposed to waiting until later in the day. We feel bad because we were expecting a great field of cars and a large crowd, but we wanted save as much expense for people as we could.

We're going to continue to see not only higher prices but gasoline availability issues on the Gulf Coast and other issues in the southeast United States, mainly due to fuel distribution problems over the short term.

We're getting a head start in meeting the president's objectives of protecting Americans from possible fuel supply disruptions this winter,

We're hoping to be able to offset the price of fuel ... by having more passengers ride ... instead of having to raise fares,

We knew they were going to come at us very hard the first three or four minutes of the ballgame, and we had to withstand that and had to take care of the ball more than anything else. In our practices, on our offensive sets we were just taking care of the ball more than shooting. We didn't want to have turnovers, because that would fuel what they do.

We know you're out there, ... We understand there's been fuel shortages.

UK consumers are tightening their belts as they feel the financial pinch inflicted by rising petrol and fuel prices.

We must learn to succeed in conditions of low fuel and energy prices

So as a founder, you have an authenticity and a human factor that is really special and that gives an enormous amount of energy and fuel. But as a founder, you're also not as cold, maybe, or as pragmatic.

When you feel humiliated or things like that, you either use it as fuel to change or you get covered by it.

Less than 10% of the fuel energy burned in automobiles is translated into forward motion of the vehicle and even then most of this energy is needed to move the vehicle itself, which typically weighs 20 times more than its passengers.

With this important acquisition, we now have more than 1,000 employees in the U.S. serving key global and mid-tier clients. Our message and values are hitting home across all markets and we are seeing a significant up tick in revenues and demand for our services. We are building on the double-digit revenue growth we experienced during the last three years, and have the strong base of skills and experience to fuel our global expansion.

Worldwide oil prices are now at a level that would make more attractive investments in large-scale coal-to-liquid fuel facilities in this country.

We're seeing evidence of Utah households responding to higher fuel costs by driving less, heating less, and being more efficient. And if oil prices stay high, we should also see more enduring efforts to explore alternatives, like tar sands and oil shale.

We've got more seats that are filled and we're getting higher fares for them. That's your best case scenario. If (jet) fuel was at $40 a barrel, we could be minting money right now.

We know that dreams fuel innovation.

We have seen a massive increase in fuel prices.

We have said long before that the matter of research is not part of the negotiation, research has its own meaning and it has nothing to do with producing fuel industrially.

We have no comment on it until we're ready to release it. It's still a fluid process at this point. We look forward to significant fuel savings without sacrificing safety or doing harm to the American economy.

We have no choice but to manage these forests to get the fuel loads down. We can't abandon this program. What we've got to do instead is to correct the mistakes,

We want more from the chancellor. We are not happy with the levy on fuel tax.

I know just enough about thermodynamics to understand that if it takes too much fossil-fuel energy to create ethanol, that's a very stupid way to solve an energy problem.

Because the financial power of the fossil-fuel industry is so great it can, and has, delayed any real action of the climate issues almost everywhere.

With each month that passes, a solar panel gets 2 or 3 percent cheaper. So while we're holding the fossil fuel industry in check, the engineers in the renewable energy world are undercutting them from the other side.

You can have a healthy fossil-fuel balance sheet, or a relatively healthy planet

We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s)

These things are happening in large measure because of us. We in this country burn 25 percent of the world's fossil fuel, create 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide. It is us - it is the affluent lifestyles that we lead that overwhelmingly contribute to this problem. And to call it a problem is to understate what it really is. Which is a crime. Crime against the poorest and most marginalized people on this planet. We've never figured out, though God knows we've tried, a more effective way to destroy their lives.

We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources.

We are all looking forward to the 2005 season. The 2004 season we had some great success. Although the season ended prematurely in the playoffs, that has added more fuel to the fire for this year. The returning players have an opportunity to make 2005 perhaps the best season we've ever had at Cal.

Speaking personally, I want my films to make money, but money is just fuel for the rocket. What I really want to do is to go somewhere. I don't want to just collect more fuel

Society's dependence on fossil fuels is jeopardising social and economic progress.

Risk taking and the drive to pursue innovative ideas are the fuel that stokes the entrepreneurial spirit.

I oppose the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. It's an ill-conceived project that would lock us into further dependence on some of the dirtiest fossil fuels on the planet.

When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.

We want to bring to the attention of the government that the people are not very happy with the tax system on fuel in this country.

We did increase the budget by about 35 percent, hopefully we will be OK, ... It's hard with the prices going up and down, we did put more money in. It's hard to save money on fuel because most of our money is spent on bus routes. So you either have to shorten your routes or have less stops. That means that kids have to go farther to get to the bus.

Emotions are the fuel to really move you along - that's the only way you can create music. If you don't feel any emotions, it's not going to happen.

The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future.

Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too.

There are no fuel supplies, ... You can't buy gasoline at will to get in and out. You may end up stranded on the highway.

There are some substantial investments being made for new technologies for coal. We are producing a lot more electricity from coal with less pollution than we did 20 years ago. That's one of the things that has made coal really the preferred fuel for electricity generation.

The onslaught is more a competitive response to the success Scion has had attracting buyers than it is a response to fuel prices.

The only way these guys can escape higher fuel prices is by raising fares. The industry is working hard to raise prices. And so far they have been successful.

The only problem with bio is that it's not conducive to cold weather. We'll circulate engine coolants around the tank and the lines and see if that helps keep the fuel from gelling.

We have plenty of fuel in our tanks in El Paso to make it through the shutdown period.

The fact that oil is so strong is adding fuel to the fire.

The fact is, we didn't get the fuel mileage the other teams got, ... As a result, we ended up having to stop, which was very disappointing. Essentially, we came up a half-gallon short.

The production of nuclear fuel is still in suspension and we hope to reach a conclusion over it in the near future, and also reach a clear agreement with the Europeans in this regard.

It's impossible to just come up with one thing that I could say to the world. That's why I've spent my life in the pursuit of the opportunity to sing to it. Summing it up goes against what fuels me.

Empathy fuels connection; sympathy drives disconnection.

We have a situation where there is a nice point of entry on a stock that has the leading technology in stationary fuel cells.

We're headed home this week, ... if we can get enough fuel to get home.

We're going to work with agencies like TRPA and take a look at the entire basin. It used to be just look at immediate needs to reduce fuel but now we have a way to focus long-term, and the technology is there to connect that.
