This scheme of combustion in order to get power makes me sick to think of it — it is so wasteful…We should utilize natural forces and thus get all of our power. Sunshine is a form of energy, and the winds and the tides are manifestations of energy. Do we use them? Oh no; we burn up wood and coal, as renters burn up the front fence for fuel. We live like squatters, not as if we owned the property. There must surely come a time when heat and power will be stored in unlimited quantities in every community, all gathered by natural forces. Electricity ought to be as cheap as oxygen, for it cannot be destroyed.

Leave a CommentI found this in a bin I was unpacking the other day. A friend and I sat and listened most of the day, and I listened to the rest on the radio at home.
Leave a CommentThis is usually the part of the blog where I take some product or technology and set it up, showing along the way what a pain in the ass it is and how it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do.
Leave a CommentAre your solar patio lights dull and listless? Do they not stay lit as long or as bright as they used to?
