Give Your Five-Year-Old the Gift of Science This Christmas…No, Wait, She Already Has It
Here’s a 
video on hydrokinetics that I hope readers will check out.
We Americans live among the most scientifically illiterate people on the planet. But that’s not really the issue here. If you took 100 average five-year-olds to a slowly moving stream, and then to a hurricane knocking down houses as if they were toothpicks and asked, “Which of these has more energy in it?” every single one would have gotten this one correct.
I like to think that the blog here at 2GreenEnergy.com is a set of instructions to a world that desperately needs them.

When western philosophy was in its infancy during the so-called pre-Socractic days, there were a great number of intellectual triumphs–not the least of which was that of Thales of Miletus (ca. 700 BCE). Thales introduced the idea of the “arche,” i.e., the primary element and the first principle of all existing things. He believed that water was the arche; he held that air was rarefied water and that solids were concentrated water, writing “Water is the substance that contains in it motion and change.”
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the fellow who brought Turkey into the modern world, early in the 20th Century, transforming a backward and constantly warring part of the Ottoman Empire into a stable, secular, industrial nation. What Atatürk said at left lies at the core of what made him one of the most successful world leaders in human history.
