We cannot rely on imported fuels forever, and we aim to replace traditional oil and gas boiler systems with products which are much more efficient.

China is an area where we need to be present. Lots of companies want to supply their products to China.

If you rent, that's it. You don't have to pay any interest to anybody. You don't have to pay any maintenance costs to anybody. You don't have to worry about whether the boiler is going to break down. While if you own your own home, you have a hundred aggravations.

The Chinese have done some extraordinary things in terms of the investments they've made in alternative sources of energy.

You all know how powerful and varied are the effects of which steam engines are capable; with them has really begun the great development of industry which has characterised our century before all others.

Brands who come to China, often they just care about price - so they actually drive the suppliers to cut corners on environmental standards to win a contract.

Globalised manufacturing and procurement mean that a lot of high-polluting, heavy duty jobs are transferred to China. We will ask major companies, such as Wal-Mart, Microsoft and IBM to put pressure on their Chinese suppliers.

Frankly, the only thing China has in easy abundance is people and dirty coal. Neither is the asset they're made out to be.

If you are only big in China, you are only a local Chinese company.

Even one billion Chinese do not a superpower make.
