It is with great sadness that I note the passing of Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, who, for 13 years, chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization widely recognized for its work on global warming. A colleague said that Pachauri “laid the ground for climate change conversations today.”
My third book (Renewable Energy—Following the Money) featured an interview with Dr. Pachauri. As I wrote at the time: (more…)
It’s so sad that all these brave Russian intellectuals, each one courageously challenging their leader, all dying by suicide.
If you’re puzzled by this, ask yourself:
Does Trump want smart, cultured people who think critically?
Here’s a bit of discussion regarding this guy’s claim that a drop of water could produce 140 volts, sufficient to light up 100 LEDs.
This article begins: A week ago, men and women went to work at airports around the United States as they always do. They showered, got dressed, ate breakfast, perhaps dropped off their kids at school. Then they reported to their jobs as federal government employees, where, according to news reports, one of them handcuffed a 5-year-old child, separated him from his mother and detained him alone for several hours at Dulles airport.

What a proud moment for all these guys! They’ll be able to go home and tell their children, “I was standing in the same room that the President of the United States made it legal for my company to dump our toxic waste directly into the water we drink.”
Today’s fast charging stations deliver about 150 kW. A solar panel in the form of a tarp of dimensions 3 X 5 meters, depending on the season, the location on the globe, the weather, and the time of day, may deliver an additional 2. Not sure this is going to be a seller.
The Trump administration is attempting to reverse Obama-era rules that fight racial discrimination in housing, and it’s also targeting a federal law that’s underpinned the desegregation of American neighborhoods for a half-century known as the Fair Housing Act, which is Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, outlawing refusal to sell or rent a dwelling to any person because of race, color, disability, religion, sex, familial status, or national origin.

Claims to seat two. I was going to inquire about the indoor version, but then realized that this would be a waste of time, since I prefer outdoor cars to their indoor counterparts anyway.
I’m with the author of the meme here 100%. As I’ve mentioned, I would happily vote for my gardener Juan over Trump.
He’s honest, hard-working, and he listens to reasonable suggestions that are focused on improving what he’s accomplishing for me. In other words, he understands what it means to serve, i.e., to perform work aimed at bettering the lives of those around him.
He expects to be compensated for the value he adds, but would not accept a dime more. Under no circumstances would he attempt to enrich himself by behaving dishonorably, much less breaking the law.
He’s the exact opposite of Trump in every meaningful way.
I don’t know his last name, so I’ll just say, “Juan in 2020.”
