“The challenge was to collect the most amount of canned tuna in oil, Spam, peanut butter, and stew. These items are high in protein and fat, components that are missing from the Haitian diet.”

“The challenge on Long Island is, how do we deal with our addiction to oil and natural gas? Small businesses have to be more energy-efficient. If you don't, you're wasting money.”
Richard Kessel

Sukbir Khanijoh
“This is not a very hospitable political environment to challenge the oil industry, ... We have a president and vice president who come from the oil industry and they're not interested in doing anything that runs counter to the interests of major integrated oil companies.”

“Oil remains the single-biggest challenge for airline profitability. Strong demand gives little hope of significantly reduced prices this year. What is disappointing is the response of the oil industry. Instead of expanding refinery capacity, the oil companies plan to return a quarter of a trillion dollars to investors over the next two years. Airlines alone have contributed $14 billion to this windfall profit. It is time that governments stepped in to encourage investment in new refinery capacity along with research into alternative fuel sources.”
Giovanni Bisignani
“If that happens, it's going to be a challenge to meet oil demand in this country.”
Phil Flynn
“Companies have made tremendous gains in efficiency in response to the challenge of the oil bill. In 2006 the revenue growth will slow, but we think airline costs will not be rising as fast as revenue.”
