Here’s a video that explains How Many Houses Can We Power with a Lightning Bolt?
The recent post BlackRock Announcement Huge Win for the Environmental Movement included these questions:
Larry Fink, CEO of money management firm BlackRock, announced today that the company would prioritize mitigating the climate crisis in its decision-making on future investments and strategies. (more…)
To the guy on Facebook who is all upset about this: I have news for you. It doesn’t matter to his supporters, either in the electorate or in Congress, what crimes he has committed in the past, or will commit in the future. At this point, no one cares. What he said a few years ago about shooting someone in the face out on Fifth Avenue is by and large correct.
Yes, his staff will say that he was misquoted, taken out of context, that this is fake news, whatever. But they really needn’t waste their breath, and we need to accept the truth: he can do anything he wants, walk away, and head on to his next crime scene.
That’s the tragedy of what the United States has become.
When I first became interested in electric transportation in 2008, the Aptera was already on the scene, and, as I recall, hunting around for potential investors. (more…)
This put a smile on my face. It’s a hydro power concept that proposes to scoop water out of a river, (somehow) lift it vertically upwards, and then recoup some of that energy, as gravity brings the water back into the river.
I suppose all it’s missing is one simple device, an anti-gravity machine at the front end. I read about that in school, 55 years ago. Seriously. It’s part of the Danny Dunn series.
With all the polling technology that political organizations have at their disposal today, one might think it would be easy to nail down precisely which groups and subgroups support U.S. President Donald Trump, and that everything pertaining to this subject would be extremely well understood at this point. Sure, we have a firm grasp on the most obvious, e.g., the billionaires, the Evangelical Christians and working class white bigots adore him, while liberals, human rights advocates and intellectuals hate him, but it gets fuzzy beyond that, and fast. (more…)
We live in a time of environmental collapse, in a world at the brink of nuclear war, where 1.5 billion of us can’t get a glass of clean water to drink, and the U.S. Constitution is being ripped into shreds.
I don’t want to be insensitive to the ups and downs in British royalty, but I would suggest they not use the word “crisis” to describe them.
Reader “Ann” offers this meme at left and comments: He has already changed his story even since this one was written….now he say he was coerced and pressured into it.
Exactly Ann, and I wager you haven’t heard the last of it. Coming soon: Soleimani was cruel to dogs, wasn’t a good Catholic, cheated at golf, liked underage girls. The list of possibilities is endless; Trump simply needs to keep going until he eventually finds something that resonates with the American people. We have a limitless appetite for lies.
Paradigms die hard. Deep-green lawns of lush thick grass have been with us for centuries, and it’s easy to see why they continue to hold appeal. One doesn’t throw the Frisbee with the kids or practice chipping while dodging tomato plants and rows of corn.
But perhaps all this has played itself out; maybe the current times favor locally grown nutrition, fertilizer composed of composted leaves and garbage, and best, no more lawn mowers.
