Larry Burns Quotations

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

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

My arm is real tired because my hand has been extended for six months. Two weeks ago I said that Wilkinson was trying to drive a wedge in our relationship, now this has driven a stake into my heart.

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

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.

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

We got the competitors we said we'd get. We got our numbers. We had about 450 competitors and 1,500 spectators. Next year it will be even better. Every year it's going to get bigger.

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

The continuous fighting went without a hitch. No one got hurt.

The postal service operates everywhere in the U.S., giving us maximum flexibility to expand the relationship in areas or regions where a hydrogen infrastructure gets kicked off.

As I said before, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and that means that Pennsylvania did not have jurisdiction over the contract of marriage that occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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.

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.

This is gonna work out. We've worked too hard on this to see it not work out.

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.

I polled members of this council separately and it's generally thought we have to work together. But it was a lack of careful consideration that got us into the situation we're in today.

They were there first. That's an advantage to have had real experience with real customers.

In every study we've done, fuel cells surface as the most promising long-term pathway for the industry -- even if you use fossil fuels, like natural gas, as the source of hydrogen.

You couple a sense of entrepreneurship with an extremely intelligent, technically capable people who understand markets, and that's what you see happening in India. India has a leg up on China.

It points to a growing interest among businesses in using fuel cells to power factories and buildings. The most compelling reason for GM to collaborate with Dow is ultimately to reduce the cost of fuel cells and improve their durability so that we may put them in cars by the end of the decade.

There's a big difference between knowing math and understanding why math models are important to a business.

We sold out for the Night Time Finals.
