“[I predict] the electricity generated by water power is the only thing that is going to keep future generations from freezing. Now we use coal whenever we produce electric power by steam engine, but there will be a time when there'll be no more coal to use. That time is not in the very distant future. ... Oil is too insignificant in its available supply to come into much consideration.” UseScienceWaterGenerationsProduceAvailableOilConsiderationEnginesElectricElectricityPredictionsCoalInsignificantFuture GenerationSteamFreezingSteam EnginesWater PowerElectric Power Author:Charles Proteus Steinmetz

“Economic progress means the discovery and application of better ways of doing things to satisfy our wants. The piping of water to a household that previously dragged it from a well, the growing of two blades of grass where one grew before, the development of a power loom that enables one man to weave ten times as much as he could before, the use of steam power and electric power instead of horse or human power - all these things clearly represent economic progress.” MenWayWantHumansWellsMeanTwoUseWaterGrowingProgressEconomicGrewDevelopmentTenDiscoveryHorseGrassOne ManApplicationElectricHouseholdBladesBetter WaysSteamBlades Of GrassHuman PowerEconomic ProgressElectric Power Author:Kenneth E.

“The real people who hold our civilization together are the maintenance people. If it weren't for them - pumping water out of subways, painting bridges to keep from rusting, fixing a steam pipe that is 70 years old - we'd be sunk. If we got rid of all the politicians and the policymakers in the world, the world would keep going. If you get rid of maintenance people, the whole thing breaks down.” PeopleIfsWorldYearsRealWholeTogetherWaterBreakPaintingPoliticianCivilizationBridgesKeep GoingBreaking DownPipeSteamMaintenanceFixingSubway Author:Alan Weisman
