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, we’ve seen precisely zero of these essentially identical concepts succeed. Maybe there’s a reason? Or three?
1) Lower power generation due to the formula for the area of a circle? (Doubling the radius generates four times the energy.)
2) Lower power generation due to the formula for the power generated by the velocity of the wind? (Doubling the wind velocity produces eight times the energy.)
3) The maintenance cost of dealing with thousands of tiny turbines that are constantly falling apart, because they must be made incredibly cheaply, makes the whole idea asinine.
I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.
But did any of us see this coming?
Macabre.
I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.
As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
