You should regard money as fuel for what you really want to do, not as a goal in and of itself.

That's because as well as the payload, each rocket stage as to also carry the fuel it needs to land.

That way, increased competition can actually fuel your growth.

Google is dependent on their ad revenue to fuel their behemoth enterprise.

Look at the battery charge graph, and more specifically look at its slope, which is the fuel efficiency.

It is a custom website intended to fuel controversy and will drive a lot of SEO juice from bloggers all over the world.

Usually you run with excess fuel, or 'fuel-rich', as the opposite - oxidiser rich - means you have hot oxidising gases which are harder on the metallurgy.

In this cycle, you take off a little bit of fuel and oxidiser to burn outside the main combustion chamber, to generate some hot energetic gases that you can exhaust over a turbine.

Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw?

One should take these claims with a pinch of salt as what counts as 'engine' and what counts as 'plumbing' and what counts as fuel tank is sort of open to debate and you can do some creative accounting to make your numbers look better.

I think the analogy is if thousands of brilliant engineers were working for a fossil-fuel power company - it would be a natural reaction to say "Gee I wish all those boffins were working on renewable energy instead".You might not agree with it, but it is a legitimate sentiment.
