Best Quotes
I'm a 'frotteur,' someone who likes to rub words in his hand, to turn them around and feel them, to wonder if that really is the best word possible. Does that word in this sentence have any electric potential? Does it do anything? Too much electricity will make your reader's hair frizzy. There's a question of pacing.

Ability Quotes
I never really enjoyed playing acoustic before. But now I really kind of like it. I find myself playing in that style a lot more. I still deep down prefer playing electric guitar. There is a lot of energy there. But it is great to be able to sit on a stool and play and be able to showcase your musical ability over having to put on a show.

Active Quotes
I never saw any of man's baser acts of inhumanity to man. I never saw screaming 'witches' burned at the stake, Christians tossed to starving lions, maidens pushed over the edge of active volcanoes. I never even saw a man going to the electric chair. But until I do, watching Ben Hogan walk up to a five-foot putt is my idea of cruel and inhuman punishment, only a Hitler would enjoy. You feel like saying 'Go home to your wife and kiddies and don't look upon this terrible thing!'

Arabia Quotes
If you look at what we did in our library -- we reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent, we reduced our electric bill by 34 percent, with more efficient lighting, more efficient heating, all kinds of conservation measures. We have over 300 solar panels which were made in America. So instead of sending money to Saudi Arabia or someplace else for oil we sent the money to an American manufacturing company to hire Americans to make solar panels. So it is good business.

Fear Quotes
He's talked to me about having that personality that's got to match your stuff, ... He said, 'If you've got electric stuff, you've got to have an electric personality. Hitters don't have to fear you, but they have to be leery of you. When you come in they have to think, O.K., this game is over.'

Climate Quotes
Honda's relationship with Climate Energy is setting a new direction for the future of home heat and power generation. We expect residential installations of the Micro-CHP System to become widespread as electric utility companies work to meet the nation's ever-growing demand for electric power.

Almost Quotes
George W. Bush and his father, President Bush, play what they call polo golf, cart golf, electric golf -- there are lots of different names for it, but basically it's blindingly fast play, ... They don't wait or dawdle between shots. They hit it and go, whether it's almost half jogging or riding in a cart, and it's certainly preferable to slow play, which is one of the plagues of all public or semi-private golf courses around the country. Golfers will know what I mean when I say that.

Barrier Quotes
The electric barrier is crude but it's the best thing we have now. The irony is the barrier was first proposed to keep round gobies (another fish invader in the Great Lakes) from colonizing the Mississippi River watershed, but by the time the barrier was built they had already passed it. Now the motivation is to keep the carp from coming from the other direction.

Average Quotes
The growth that the state is experiencing requires us to pursue increased investment. Given our obligation to serve, there isn't another option. Electric rates are still an excellent value and will remain so even if the company gets the full effect of the increase. Rates on average will still be lower than they were 20 years ago.

Architecture Quotes
The General Motors hybrid diesel electric drive system for buses uses the most efficient parallel hybrid architecture available in the world today. If the U.S. had only 1,000 GM hybrid powered buses operating in major cities, the cumulative savings would be more than 1.5 million gallons of fuel annually.

The economic expansion in Hawaii over the last five or six years has put a lot of pressure on infrastructure and is driving costs up. Interim rate relief is a step in the right direction, but more probably will be needed as Hawaiian Electric continues to add infrastructure to keep up with expanding needs.
