From my current article on CAIVN Climate change proponents want renewable energy and lots of it. Climate change opponents often want freedom from having to import oil and being dependent on other countries for fuel and energy. Those goals are not incompatible. In fact, they are quite similar. In both cases, renewable energy and clean [...] I’m reading The Money and the Power, a history of Vegas. The corruption and influence of organized crime is much worse than I thought. Business, crime, and government intermesh. And not just in Vegas either. JFK as a senator in ’57 went to Cuba casinos and asked Meyer Lansky to get him women. As [...] It had been a stream for hundreds of years, then was buried under a freeway for three decades. Seoul tore down the freeway and returned it to being a stream again.

What is needed today is the electricity equivalent of the interstate highway system. The inability to move low-cost electricity to consumers because of congestion on transmission lines brings with it costs similar to [...] Wake Up, the lead track. Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon, is releasing Black Ribbons on March 2. It’s an ambitious concept album dealing with the economic collapse and possible coming dark times. In it, a late night talk show host, Will O’ The Wisp (played by author Stephen King), stays on the air [...] In stunning news, DARPA says their cost per gallon for jet fuel from alage is “headed towards $1 a gallon.” Wow.
