"Notre Dame took 104 years, three generations. The architect never saw
it finished. Stone masons never saw the stained glass windows. ...My
challenge to you is, have the same cathedral thinking on the carbon
issue. We won't get it done in a decade. It took us 100 years to get
here, it will take a while to get out of this."
-- James Rogers
