Wildfires Are a Growing Threat, But Is This a Viable Concept to Protect Your Home?
These people are raising investment capital, or at least claim to be, for this idea in homebuilding: the house is constructed over a deep hole, and, in the event of a wildfire, it can be lowered into that hole using hydraulics, then raised back up when the danger has passed.

Assume the turbine presented here is 1.5 meters tall, as shown, and let’s say 0.5 meters wide, meaning that its swept area is 0.75 square meters if it were refashioned into a standard bladed turbine, spinning in a circle, with a radius of 0.488 meters.
All this is fine, but we need specifics that juries can use to send this traitor to prison for life.
One of the problems with living in today’s insane society is that it’s hard to know the difference between comedy and real journalism.
U.S. founding father Thomas Paine’s thought here is a noble one indeed.
