"It's sobering to realize that the power plants being planned now will
be emitting in 2050. Autos last 20 years, buildings 100, and our
political cycle is six years. It's difficult to imagine society focusing
on long-term problems."
--Steven Koonin

lack of focus. Medical networks are more excited about new medical
devices, but not by supply chains."
