Rants and Raves for May 15



Wind energy

“The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has been developing wind energy technology for years. Unfortunately, the technology is comparatively inefficient, inconsistent and typically presents a noise nuisance to the surrounding community.

The technology shows potential, but isn’t efficient enough to warrant building wind turbines everywhere. Perhaps some of you critics are experts in Thermodynamics and could help NREL make some headway.

Priorites

“I think space exploration and study is important to us. But right now, I think we have earthly issues that need the greatest amounts of our attention. I think our great minds at NASA should be applied to helping with developing alternate energy sources. Maybe they could handle the solar part.

Energies

“Jimmy Carter, as poor of a president as he was, signed a bill into law thirty years ago that addressed wind and solar power.

Two years later the bill was thrown out by Ronald, the Republican hero, Reagan.

Wouldn't it have been great if we had worked on alternative energy for the last 28 years?

Ironies

“Mr. Lindsey, I just read your letter. Basically you are saying that big business is out for the almighty dollar, the rest of us be damned. Well, I may tend to agree with you. But having read your pieces before, it would seem that you are a staunch Republican. And big business, for the most part, is Republican. Isn’t our system and our depths of perception full of ironies?
