Daily Thoughts

Howard Pyle illustration of a handsome pirate, entitled "Buccaneer of the Caribbean", from Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates. Howard Pyle is one of my favorite book illustrators.

There are a lot of things which people believe won't work, but if you take the time and look at the possible numbers, we can have a renewable energy economy, but it will include a lot of things which people are not ready to embrace yet, microhydro, plasma converters, wave power turbines (ocean power) , solar concentrator plants, biocrude made from algae in addition to solar, wind, biofuels,hydroelectric and geothermal. It will require a real change in thinking.
