Why don’t Black Americans have their own state?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by admin| 20 Comments

Why not give them their own state?

The best thing we ever did in Canada, was give the French their own state where they could be independent and develop their own identity.

Quebeckers have gone from being 2nd class citizens, scorned as backward and uneducated Roman Catholic peasants, to being one of the most dynamic and prosperous economies in North America. By having the opportunity to do things their own way and be masters of their own house, free from discrimination.

Today, Quebec exports a huge supply of hydro-electric power, has diverse agriculture and manufacturing, and the lowest university tuitions in North America.

States rights has always been a means for different people to have their own culture and economy.

Why is solar power so difficult to obtain?

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin| 15 Comments

I’m re-roofing my house and have been unable to find a certified roofer in my state that offers solar power as an option, let alone make it as affordable as the norm roofing materials. It’s as if the greenhouse effect doesn’t exist.

I’m ashamed of our lack of green options in Florida (and the Nation).

What are some cool things to do at an outdoor Sweet Sixteen party?

Posted on January 24, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m throwing a Sweet Sixteen party outside an old abandoned mill in a state park. It’s a cool spot, which is why I chose it, but I’m not sure what games or “activities” to have. It can’t be a dancing type deal because both myself and my guests are too dorky for that kind of thing (it’s also predominantly girls).

It’s right next to a river/creek (about ten ft wide and 2-3 ft deep) and there’s a bridge over the water. There’s also a trailhead behind the mill.

Any suggestions for what kind of stuff I could put together?
There will be about twenty guests, sixteen girls and four guys. ^__^ If that helps.

Wind Farms?

Posted on January 12, 2012 by admin| 9 Comments

DALLAS — Wind turbines supplying energy to homes and businesses will one day line Texas’ 376-mile coastline if the state’s Land Office Commissioner has his way.

The turbines will stand about 10 miles offshore, enough to preserve the treasured view but close enough to make coastal wind power an affordable energy alternative still missing in the United States, Commissioner Jerry Patterson (search) said.

Last month, the office announced a deal with a Louisiana contractor to build 50 turbines designed to power about 40,000 homes.

so a single turbine can power 800 homes?
that is pretty good.

Engineers – is it feasible to use solar energy to power a system that converts corn products to ethanol?

Posted on January 3, 2012 by admin| 8 Comments

One of the major complaints about ethanol is that there’s little, if any, net gain in energy. Is the state of the science sufficiently advanced to allow solar power to be the primary energy supply?
