It's real. Happened to me the other day. Out walking with the wife. Neighbor who we were always quite cordial with came up to us, waving his arms, cursing our president, spit coming out of his mouth, stormed off while calling us crazy. Wife and I looked at each other and said, "Wow."
Interesting. This technology helps solve the MAJOR problem with renewable energy. (Solar, Wind) Namely, energy storage for use in off times like darkness or calm winds. Communities could band together locally (like co-ops) and store solar energy without having to sell it back to the likes of So Cal Edison for pennies and be self sufficient using the concrete block walls between homes to store energy. Just an off the top thought.
Kind of like the huge eye sore wind farms near Palm Springs, Ca. Some on the ground, some free wheeling and some feathered. A few work though. What is the cost to dispose of the waste that is already accumulated??? Huge scam.
(Liberal think) Someone invented a light source that uses less energy. If we make "everyone" use them, we'll save the planet!! They're more expensive. Don't care. Some use mercury and are toxic. Don't care. No one will recycle them as it is too expensive. Don't care. Landfills fill up with toxic waste. Don't care. People want old style bulbs for certain applications. Don't care. Ergo, the planet is not saved, in fact it's worse off than before. The country has absorbed a huge unnecessary, perhaps destructive dollar cost. The light from these devices has been blamed for health problems in users. Don't care. Brought to you by LIBERALS. Same thing every time.
Translation with light cussing....."The bastard is doing to us what we did to him." "Agghhhhhhhhhh!!!"
