I guess because I've always doubted my ideas. And then I see them on tv, or in a magazine. Well it ends up I made my fortune by accident. What the hell. :)



My biggest reason for concern is that we are wielding huge amounts of power. I wish I could find this speech I once heard from the 70's regarding peak oil. In it the speaker mentions how each American has the equivalent of several hundred slaves, thanks to petroleum. We're like babies with machine guns.

I happen to have grown up in a very energy aware household, neighborhood, town. So this discussion has been going on almost half of the population ago.

The irony of it all is that in my attempt to escape the crowds I now find myself finally building my own house. Argh! The thing I detest the most, I am now doing. But I didn't duplicate my genes. So I guess I deserve some leeway.

Sorry to bore you all. :)
