“Cars aren't merely modes of transit or material possessions to Texans; they are something of a state treasure. We share a special, almost religious attachment to the automobile, rooted, I suppose, in our mythological relationship to the horse, our economic underpinnings in the oil industry, and the inescapable fact that to get anywhere in this state, you have to cover a lot of ground.” StatesFactsReligiousShareEconomicSpecialCarMaterialsIndustryHorsePossessionOilTreasureAttachmentRootedAutomobileMaterial PossessionsTexanOil Industry Author:Jim Atkinson
“In the United States, throughout all twenty-four hours of every day of the year - year after year - we have an average of two million automobiles standing in front of red lights with their engines going, the energy for which amounts to that generated by the full of efforts of 200 million horses being completley wasted as they jump up and down going nowhere.” YearsTwoStatesLightEnergyHoursUnitedEffortMillionsUnited StatesFourFrontsAmountRedStandingHorseTwentiesAverageEnginesUp And DownAutomobileDays Of The YearRed Lights Author:R.

“Technological revolutions are very hard to predict. My favourite example is someone in 1850 taking care of horses as a farrier. They would have said, "Look, horses have been part of human existence for 5,000 years. We are horse people. It's permanent." But all of a sudden, the internal combustion engine comes along and, with it, oil fields and automobiles, which basically replace the horse completely. So we often have these long periods of stability and then a sudden inflection point.” PeopleYearsHumansLooksLongHas BeensSaidHardCareExistenceExampleFieldsRevolutionPeriodsHorseOilPermanentInternalsStabilityEnginesFavouriteTechnologicalAutomobileHuman ExistenceCombustionOil Field Author:Reed Hastings
