"Goals can be lofty. For example, eliminating dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels. That’s a very scary goal. People think it’s just not possible. What we've learned is that we can innovate towards a bodacious goal like that one step at a time." -- Dr. Bertolucci, President of Interface Research Corporation
