May 1, 2009 by Hawk.
Watching ‘Modern Marvels’ on the History Channel, they’re featuring renewable energy sources. They claim that North and South Dakota have enough potential wind energy to power the entire United States. They also claim that covering just 10% of Nevada (and hell, no one lives there anyhow) with photovoltaic cells or with a system that focuses solar energy on an oil filled pipe with then heats water to steam to power turbines (I forget the nomenclature) that either could also power the entire country. So DO it already! We’re in a depression, fire up a new New Deal WPA/CCC project and build these suckers! What the hell are we waiting for?
Hawk (has gas, can’t power anything with it…)
