Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
Distributed tech for
Distributed tech for electricity generation makes sense, but there are political challenges.
Prop 16 that failed (thankfully) would have harmed distributed production, even with the green energy exceptions written into it.
There are also problems with distributed tech, like effects to the environment right around the energy conversion sites.
Thanks for the book reference. Never heard of it.
Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity
That was the book title. Funny, because I first read it as a freshman (can't remember the course--might have been geograhy or English). I found it largely incomprehensible. Then it was assigned to me about three years later in a political science class. Suddenly, it was very straightforward. Obviously, my reading comprehension improved a great deal over those three years. Nice to know I wasn't getting dumber. At least not back then. :D
