It's gonna take a lot of idea's to get us to guzzle less fossil fuels.<BR/>Wind farms, more hybrids, solar power, and how about flashing back to the 70's with the 55 speed limit? Outlaw the manufacturing of SUV's. Every time an American buys one of those stupid gas guzzelers, an Arab oil merchent pop's a woody out of his man-dress, and sends a check to the Islamic Brotherhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-47102170087158306172007-05-17T12:08:00.000-07:002007-05-17T12:08:00.000-07:00Oh, and for you investor-types, GE stock is genera...Oh, and for you investor-types, GE stock is generally believed to not have much room to grow, but it does pay dividends.<BR/><BR/>Besides, by investing in that company you are rewarding their innovation in environmentally and economically beneficial technology.<BR/><BR/>They also lead the pack in hybrid car battery manufacturing and design.BlackLabelAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097549190860372632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-48523631436830925862007-05-17T12:06:00.000-07:002007-05-17T12:06:00.000-07:00Hey Ken, I just found out that they are playing ol...Hey Ken, I just found out that they are playing old episodes of American Gladiators on the ESPN Classic Channel.

The offshore wind farms are proving to be a very powerful asset, Ireland is the world leader in that department.<BR/><BR/>It was the advent of GE's multi-megawatt generators that make this technology able to hold it's own weight. The older wind farms did little more than kill birds and make noise. The new breed of wind generators use much larger props that turn slower and are less dangerous to birds, and are also capable of generating enough electricity to quickly pay off the very high cost to manufacture and install.<BR/><BR/>I agree, anonymous, this looks like a winner! Thanks for stopping by and for the great suggestion!BlackLabelAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097549190860372632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-56028855931634213382007-05-17T05:04:00.000-07:002007-05-17T05:04:00.000-07:00I thInK cArs sHOUld Be MAde Out Of NERf mateRIAl.K...I thInK cArs sHOUld Be MAde Out Of NERf mateRIAl.<BR/><BR/><BR/>KEn HAW!KKspartachrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069833265447421138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-82998161078301660632007-05-16T20:09:00.000-07:002007-05-16T20:09:00.000-07:00Wind power!

It's a growing industry here, and has grown rapidly in the past two or three years. <BR/><BR/>In a 2006 speech, Bush said researchers found that six percent of the continental U.S. is highly suitable for harnessing the wind's energy; up to twenty percent of our nation's electricity demand can be met with this. We already generate a lot of power from wind (about 10,000 megawatts), but it accounts for less than one percent of our nation's energy needs. Twenty percent of Denmark's power is from wind turbines, they're pushing for more! <BR/><BR/>There is so much open space out in the Rockies and Midwest, and it is very windy. With wind turbines, comes job opportunies; some of those places (such as Nebraska) could use the jobs to reduce the outmigration. <BR/><BR/>There are some downsides (mostly minor ones) with wind power, but the pros definitely outweigh them. Some people oppose these things because they "kill many birds", which is a load of crap, as there are studies to debunk this. Others just think they're ugly. NASA doesn't like them because they scramble radar. If you haven't already, I suggest you all start with the "wind power" and "wind turbine" articles on Wikipedia.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I read your blog all the time, I just lurk a lot; keep up with the good articles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
