Observation Report: Limited power(inspired by Gerrits" Fukushima diary)
Submitted by Lenzabi on Sat, 04/09/2016 - 12:16pmOkay, maybe not totally inspired by his essay, but Gerrits' post on the Fukushima nonsense, and it's impact has made me decide to make known my observations on Humanity's energy brokers fascination with limited supply energy as opposed to renewables. "Wait, what has that got to do with Fukushima?" one may ask. I will get to it, but Uranium is also something of limited supply such as Oil/coal and gas.

Submitted by Gerrit on Sat, 04/09/2016 - 9:31am
We're featuring the NY polls every day until the election in 10 days on 19 April. NY has 247 delegates at stake. Plus, the little matter of momentum and narrative.

Have you been noticing all the tremors beneath the other campaign and all the little cracks spreading throughout the NY wall? Cool, eh?
Below are the graphs from Huffpo. Also, Steppenwolf.

You fill it from a bottle of ink. This pen is a part of history. It belonged to my Dad.
