It’s Free, Plentiful and Fickle | New York Times. A very nice little article on wind power and some of its problems. I did not really think about this much, but it does not look like we can offset the building of new power plants just buy using wind generators. The only real thing that will help us all is if we can start to conserve power. Start using those high efficiency light bulbs and start turning the thermostats up in the summer and down in the winter. Also try and drive less and more efficiently. One big waste is small engines, like riding mowers. If we all mowed every other week instead of every week that would save a bunch of gas and reduce the pollution created. Ok I am off my soapbox now. Just wanted to give you something to think about as we start a new year.
