Arno's EnergyIdeas (27)

This EnergyIdea with present a loose collection of citations from "Activism" to "Viability" to complete the year 2008. Some of them are brand new (Bernotat Fukui, Kemfert), others are classic quotes (Cicero, Curie, Einstein, Goethe). We will soon see what 2009 has in store for all of us. Everybody should do, what he or she is convinced to be "correct". Time will tell, if it was. All readers, authors, interview partners of the newsletter „Hydrogen and Fuel Cell“" by energie.de I wish all the very best for the New Year, so Evers at the transmission of this EnergyIdea..
