"Local economies are suffering as people spend more on fuel and less on consumer goods and travel." ― Dan Lipinski Topic(s): Travel More From Dan Lipinski "Hydrogen holds great promise to meet many of our future energy needs, and it addresses national security and our environmental concerns. Hydrogen is the simplest, most abundant element in the universe." "Most of us would never consider getting our car repaired without first receiving an estimate of the charges, but this is exactly what we do when we need to go to a hospital for treatment." "Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity." More In Travel "A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere, travels on the ground, sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it, and has a hard time, and then comes back and writes about it. It’s not about inventing."― Paul Theroux "I think what he’s – what he believes, and he may be correct, I don’t know, that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what’s going on in Iraq that we haven’t revealed to others."― Lawrence Eagleburger "We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far."― Swami Vivekananda
