“The thing is that I don't normally think in terms of manga when I'm writing. Sounds odd from someone who has is getting a reputation for doing manga related work. But I would say that my scripts are NOT manga at the stage of my writing process, they are just comic book stories in a more general sense.” ThinkingWritingBookStoriesProcessSoundTermStageScriptsReputationComicOddRelatedComic BookWriting Process Author:Sean Michael Wilson
“My personality has become one that tends to focus and move forward, yes. But I was not like that when I was 16 or 23, I think. I was much more uncertain, unconfident and inwards looking.

“Today, natural gas now outstrips coal as the leading provider of electricity in America. If this is as big as people believe it is, natural gas will soon be powering trucks and marine ships. Maybe even standard commercial cars that people use at home through compressed natural gas, other gas to liquids. The potential is there for more energy independence by America and a reliance on cleaner fuel - natural gas emits half as much as coal, in terms of carbon emissions. That's a real bounty.” PeopleIfsBelieveRealUseHomeBigsTodayAmericaEnergyTermNaturalHalfCarStandardsIndependenceShipsFuelGasElectricityCarbonCoalTruckMarineRelianceLiquidEmissionsCleanersProvidersBountyNatural GasCarbon EmissionsEnergy Independence Author:Thomas Friedman

“What I want is natural gas to be a bridge to a cleaner energy future, not a dam against a cleaner energy future, not a dead end. To get this right, to get the most out of it, we not only have to make sure we exploit natural gas in a clean way - it's a challenge - but we also have to make sure that we are instilling and implementing all the incentives to win solar, nuclear energy efficiency that will make them continually competitive with natural gas in the future.” WayWantEndsWinningEnergyNaturalChallengesCleanNuclearBridgesGasEfficiencyIncentivesExploitsCleanersDead EndsDamsNatural GasImplementingNuclear EnergyEnergy Efficiency Author:Thomas Friedman
