Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that's better living through bugs. — John Doerr

He makes His ministers a flame of fire. Am I ignitible? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.

Just as designated experts ignored fossil fuels’ massive climate mastery benefits when predicting climate catastrophe, they also ignored fossil fuels’ massive resource mastery benefits when they predicted resource catastrophe. — Alex Epstein

Ethanol has reduced our nation's dependence on imported energy, created thousands of jobs, reduced air pollution, and increased energy security. And renewable fuels cost less at the pump. It is a growth fuel that fuels opportunities for millions of Americans. — Lane Evans

The melting of the ice cap already allows cargo ships to make the journey through the Northwest Passage in the Canadian archipelago for several summer weeks a year, thus cutting a week from the transit time from Europe to China. The first cargo ship not to be escorted by an icebreaker went through in 2014 between Canada and China — a 40% shorter route and using deeper waters than if it had gone through the Panama Canal. This allowed the ship to carry more cargo, save tens of thousands of dollars in fuel costs, and reduced the ship’s greenhouse gas emissions by 1,300 metric tons. By 2040, the route is expected to be open for up to two months each year. — Tim Marshall
