I’m not an Economist, I’m a History Major and I hated and resented every single minute I spent in class and received (justly) grades that reflected that fact. My Uncle had a Doctorate and was a Vice President at a Bank. He ended up with a Carrel that had a view of the window. No, …

Lose track of what happened in July?
Me too. Ok. So I was in North Lake, then By the Sea, then out of the country, then out of the country some more, then back to film a performance of me not barfing, then back to North Lake to pump the Septic Tank. And it’s merely mid-summer as far as I’m concerned. My …

Peak Oil
Fossil Fuels, even the cheapest like Coal and certainly including things like Tar Sands which are incredibly expensive, are simply no longer competitive with renewables. Driving in New Hampshire recently (live free or die) I saw hilltops full of brand new and extremely ugly GE Wind Turbine Generators which tells me at least one thing- …
