It’s the 77th birthday of actor James Woods (pictured here). Woods is an ardent Trump supporter, which raises the question: Why are there so few celebrities at the “MAGA end” of the political spectrum?
Though I can only speculate, I would submit the following. The top actors and great performers in the other art forms:
• Need a great deal of sensitivity and nuance in their thought and behavior.
• Travel extensively, bringing them into contact with people from hundreds of different cultures.
• Need to get along well with others, which tends to weed mean and hateful people.
Of there, there are demographics that are highly correlated to support for Trump, among them country music fans, gun dealers, evangelical Christians, trades-people in rural parts of America, and the uber-rich.

I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
As shown at left, it’s possible to use helium ballons to lift a wind turbine high into the troposphere, where wind currents are stronger and more stable than they are near the Earth’s surface. Experiments with such devices have been being conducted since long before 2GreenEnergy came on the scene in 2009.
There are intrinsic limitations to this approach, however. Long tethers can run afoul of aviation, and they face extreme stress and operational complexity. Translation: huge costs, which is why we don’t see these in commercial use.
Did China test one of these? Probably. About 20 years ago.
