QUOTES
- Hunt: "The results basically say forget the argument of coal versus natural gas or oil versus something else…We're going to need it all -- oil, gas, renewables…we will need all of the biofuels and windpower…It's going to require everything."
- Hunt: "From a company point of view, there are five things that separate a good company from a truly excellent company… a strong and positive corporate culture, the ability to differentiate yourself, the ability to adapt to a changing environment, agility or how quickly you can change and willingness to take a contrarian position when it makes sense to do so.”
- Hunt: "Five to seven years ago, I would have said the most important thing was the people in a company…If you get the right people, everything falls into place. But after the debacles of Enron and all the other things, I decided if you have the right corporate culture, you will attract the right people."
