Thanks for the "big picture" info, Joel. I added the emphasis below. I'm going to take "Only 498,000 to go!" on as a personal slogan while I work "both ends against the middle," advocating cleaner generation of power off and on the grid, as well as better efficiency and conservation at the use end.

If you read Mark Jacobson's web article advocating wind as the energy choice of choice, you may have remarked, as I did, that we could generate enough energy to replace all fossil fuel use in the US with a mere 500,000 5-megawatt wind turbines. We have the equivalent of 2000 of those so far. Only 498,000 to go! _______________________________________________ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
