Rooftop Wind
My doctor, who knows that I understand physics and renewable energy in particular, asked me today what I thought about wind turbines on boats. I explained that, since boats need their own ways to generate electricity, what is called “small …
Rhetorical Questions
How many seas must the white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand? How may ventures in small, rooftop wind must fail before we learn that this entire concept is doomed? The answer is blowin’ in the wind. Seriously, …
