I, in fact, have been involved in the construction of and the management of wastewater treatment plants.

The Pythagoreans degrade impious men into brutes and, if one is to believe Empedocles, even into plants.

Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

We do have serious energy needs for the country, we are aware that natural gas is especially in demand because of its air quality benefits: 90 percent of new power plants have been natural gas-powered.
