Clarifying Wind Turbines
Clarifying Wind Turbines It is possible to include heating elements in wind turbines to prevent freezing. They never took that into consideration in Texas where the wind turbines probably supply as much as 10% of the power. The same problem took place in Germany.

Hot Money

An intelligent world-wise father (General Wesley Clark) and his son discuss some of the problems we face with many smart participants.

Demateralizing the economy isn’t happening (Hint: All that material is actually hiding in plain sight)
Demateralizing the economy isn’t happening (Hint: All that material is actually hiding in plain sight) If you are trying to prove something is true and certain facts get in the way, it’s almost always useful to exclude them. This is apparently what technology cheerleader Andrew McAfee has done in his recent book More from Less, which […]
