Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points:

It’s not new.  A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors came to understand that this concept, as all the others, were dead in the water.

They have an “axial flux generator.”  Really?  Having we all seen “Back to the Future?” Making up technobabble like the “flux capacitor” gets laughs, but that’s about it.

The fact that climate change poses a huge threat doesn’t mean that every yo-yo idea in renewable energy makes sense.

There is a reason, based on physics, that vertical axis wind turbines are not competitive with their horizontal counterparts and do not exist in the enormous industry of wind energy.

The wind conditions on our roofs are impeded by trees and neighboring buildings.  That’s the reason that wind farms are located in remote areas with incredible wind resources.  No one would like to live in a place like Tehachapi, California with gale-force winds.

The spokesperson’s idea that he’s raising investor capital to engineer the product because “you to have the recipe before you bake the cookies” is catchy, but this is a recipe that clearly cannot exist.

We Have Plenty of Problems that Actually DO Exist

The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.

What bathrooms should trans people use?  Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.

Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.

I would say that the meme here is “semi-true.”

It’s certainly true that he/she will be repairing broken relationships with our historical allies, but I don’t think that will be too terribly difficult.  The rest of the world will be popping champagne corks the second Trump’s gone.

How Did This Happen?

The simple answer to the question here is that we’ve become a nation many of whose people think, “I got mine. Go die.”

Now, how did this happen? That’s more complicated, but I suggest that, as I’ve believed since I was in my teens, we’re living through the endgame of free market capitalism.

The rich have gotten richer and have taken an ownership position in our lawmaking processes, so as to take them from millionaires to billionaires.  At the same time, the rest of the U.S citizenry has become so poorly educated and desperate that they’ll believe that the people who harvest our fruits and vegetables are stealing our jobs and driving up the cost of housing.

Just a generation ago, Americans were proud that their country led the world in promoting democracy and moral fortitude.  Now, we stand for racial hate, greed, cruelty, and war criminality.
