It’s nice to get the feedback from a theater audience. It’s a gas.
At the end of the day, you can have all the talent in the world. But if you don’t put in the work, nothing works. The engine doesn’t start going. It’s a car without gas.
I’ve often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state’s rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores.
I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis.
It is not, of course, complete yet – but some sentences were understood this afternoon… I feel that I have at last struck the solution of a great problem – and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses just like water or gas – and friends converse with each other without leaving home.
For me, not owning a car means I may spend a little extra time on public transportation, but I can use that time to read, catch up on work projects, and make the phone calls I couldn’t get to earlier. Plus, I never waste time at the mechanics or gas station.
Look at a map of the world: the countries which do not trade much, or which trade only in oil and gas, tend to be in regions which suffer the most social and political instability.
As much as with increased exploration new gas reserves can be found, what must be obvious to all is that our oil and gas reserves are not renewable and they are diminishing, and to protect the generations to come, we must engage in nothing short of a radical shift in the diversification of the economy.
It’s in the history books, the Holocaust. It’s just a phrase. And the truth is it happened yesterday. It happened to my mother. I never met my grandmothers or my grandfathers. They were all wiped up in the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.
All I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way.
Instead of going to the ends of the Earth – and plumbing the depths of the oceans – to squeeze out every last drop of oil, we need, instead, to do everything we can to reduce the risks of offshore oil and gas production.
When it can be done safely and appropriately, U.S.-produced oil and natural gas is important, and domestic production has energy security benefits over importing those fuels.
Today you can go to a gas station and find the cash register open and the toilets locked. They must think toilet paper is worth more than money.
We see natural gas as an important part of the electricity generation mix for many decades to come.
I asked a couple of months ago if anyone would like to start picketing the gas stations.
Modern life would not be possible if it were not for chemicals, nor would modern natural gas production.
When you buy a gallon of gas, over 60 percent of the energy you pay for goes out the radiator in the form of waste heat? That’s why you have a radiator in your car in the first place.
The good Lord didn’t see fit to put oil and gas only where there are democratically elected regimes friendly to the United States. Occasionally we have to operate in places where, all considered, one would not normally choose to go. But we go where the business is.
People forget that in early 1970s, there were 3 sushi bars in New York City. Three. Three. Think about that. Now, there is sushi in… I’ve eaten it – there is sushi at gas stations in Middle America.
The benefits of a healthier diet are far-reaching because they also equate to fewer animals being bred into inhumane factory farm conditions and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
The gas man came one day, and he said, ‘What does your husband do?’ so I told him, and he said, ‘What’s the use of that?’ He had a point, but on the other hand, I firmly believed in Stephen and his brilliance. I encouraged him to popularise his science just because the gas man had been so insulting.
The gulf coast, we all know now, after Katrina, is responsible for 25 percent of U.S. production of natural gas. Following Katrina and Rita, almost 75 percent of the natural gas production in the gulf was shut down and not producing.
Only when the oil and gas industry has taken full account of, and responsibility for, the impacts of exploring for and extracting fossil fuels can we engage in a serious and worthy evaluation of whether fracking can indeed provide a bridge to a sustainable energy future.
I don’t care whether you use natural gas, ethanol, the battery. You can use anything, just so it’s American.
Shale gas has provided the United States the opportunity to have 100 years of supply that is domestically produced. If we are going to develop natural gas from shale, it has to be done in a safe and responsible manner.
All sensible Army people turned gas warfare down as being utterly insane since, in view of your superiority in the air, it would not be long before it would bring the most terrible catastrophe upon German cities, which were completely unprotected.
If the scale of gas is anything like the claims made by its advocates, it has major implications for the economy and British society. Besides its worrying environmental aspects, it could have adverse effects on income distribution.
There are serious worries about unconventional gas and oil, especially those concerning the environment.
It might have been offset for us if the revenue from our own oil and natural gas that was just developing had been available to the Labor Government, but the oil revenues were just coming in when Labor fell in ’79.
When I came to town and saw the price of diesel went above regular gas, that burnt me up.
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I’m gone.
There are no coal plants on the drawing board for Duke, which leaves us with gas, renewables, and nuclear.
If you’re serious about climate targets, you don’t build and expand the oil sands and move from coal-fired electricity to inefficient fracked gas.
I’m not going to throw haymakers the whole fight; I’ll gas out.
When you’re out of gas, you don’t have many options.
Cooking requires time, effort and fuel: increasing numbers of people I’ve visited can’t even afford to turn on the kettle for a cup of tea as they eke out every penny to feed their extortionate gas and electric meters.
No one knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.
I had a job since I was 12 years old. I did everything under the sun. I pumped gas. I worked at gas stations, car washes, dry cleaners, anything and everything that I had to do to pay the bills. So for me, I know what it’s like to hustle.
I think the governor has short-changed the people of Pennsylvania with respect to shale gas, both with respect to the environment and the economy.
Sometimes those apartments we lived in weren’t finished, sometimes the rooms would be heated by the gas stove, sometimes we would heat our water on hot plates to take baths, and that was very sobering, especially as a child.
The invention of gas and electric heaters has not meant the end of fireplaces. Printing did not end penmanship, television did not kill radio, movies did not kill theatre, and home videos did not kill movie theaters, although all these things were falsely predicted.
Reducing and removing greenhouse gas emissions spares our planet from the well-documented degradation that we are witnessing on a global basis.
If they come at us with tear gas or batons or mass arrests then you get a kind of upswell because they become repressive of people demanding what the public actually want.
Our nation’s power plant fleet must include a mix of solar, wind, hydro, natural gas and nuclear plants.
With open markets, the nation’s trade deficit with China would shrink as we export more natural gas and agricultural products and as China’s consumers could afford to buy their preferred ‘Made in America’ products.
What I took away from my ‘Flashforward’ experience is that when you’re doing a serialized mythology show, you put your foot on the gas, and you do not take it off.
The natural gas industry has worked long and hard to smear Josh Fox, the director of ‘Gasland,’ and has failed.
I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz.
No one does a better, cleaner, or environmental friendlier, than the United States, when it comes to drilling for oil, gas, coal, oil refineries and fish friendly hydroelectric.
Americans are also feeling the effects of soaring energy prices at the gas pump. The double burden of these added expenses will be far too much for many families.
If you don’t have the story and the unfolding of the trajectory of the saga, it’s like getting in a car and not having any gas.
Gas consumption is growing everywhere.
I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, ‘Charge it, put it on my bill.’ I loved going to the gas station and saying, ‘Pete, fill it up.’ I loved that continuity of life.
Many of our traditional partners are positioning themselves as strong regional players… Shell is a global player. And as the global gas markets develop… we will be creating a global strategic partnership.
