Tulsi Gabbard?
When I saw that 2GreenEnergy supporter Dr. Tom Konrad’s website AltEnergyStocks.com had published this piece endorsing Elizabeth Warren for president in 2020, I began this conversation: (more…)
String Theory
Here’s a cute video that explains string theory in the most basic terms possible.
As “beautiful” as it may be, there is no conceivable way that we can test this concept for validity, and in that way, it seems closer to a religion than a scientific theory. (more…)
If You Work For the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Quit
It’s always nice to see compassionate people trying to put good back into the world, and the “Never Again” movement is all about this.
I would think that at this point, unfortunately, most of these ICE people feel that they’re on missions of bravery and patriotism. Locking up children, forcing thousands of desperate refugees to die in the desert of thirst and starvation, and breaking into the homes of honest and productive tax-payers is looked at as “God’s work.” It’s horrible.

Trump’s Legacy
Ha! I had completely forgotten that there were people who thought that Trump’s purported business acumen might be the foundation for his “growing into the office.” Hope springs eternal.
What wasn’t clear at the time is the extraordinary degree to which he has no interest in anything except his own aggrandizement and enrichment. (more…)

Trump’s Fall
Being despised by most of the men, women and children living on Earth wasn’t enough; now The Man Upstairs and the other heavenly hosts are bailing too. Hasn’t been a good couple of weeks.

Solar/Wind-Powered Boat Touring the Globe
Normally, I find things like this boat powered by renewables of little value, as they tend to be impractical and expensive novelties. Perhaps one could say the same here, but somehow this got my attention. (more…)
Truth Theory in Western Philosophy
Thank you for reading the first sentence of this post, given the apparently off-topic headline, and please know that I offer this post in an effort to express something I deem relevant to the big questions of our times.
When I was studying philosophy in grad school I wrote a paper whose title was that headline featured above. Now, what exactly is “truth theory?” It is the attempt to be clear about what we mean when we claim something to be true. (more…)

Evolutionary Cul de Sac
There are plenty of intellectuals in today’s world who believe that the human species is on its way out, most of whom cite some combination of nuclear war and the unrepentant manner in which we’re in the process of ruining our environment. (more…)

Regenerative (aka Recuperative) Braking
Senior Energy Analyst Glenn Doty writes on the subject of large electric vehicles:
While I was clear in my praise for the electric buses, (large electric trucks represent) the opposite case: One of the avenues of lowest net gain for the environment. Buses are exciting because the transportation is endless start/stop. (more…)
