I'm with you. PV/Wind etc and Electric cars. End Game. Set. Match.
Thanks timothyb. what's your private blog about? how does one get invited in?
I don't actually have one setup here :) I haven't done a blog, although I realize it's all the rage.. and I probably should! I've been tooting around with electrons since I was a wee lad and TRS-80s were state of the art, so I'm a bit slow to adopt new time sinks ;-)
If you are on Facebook though, I'll probably be using that for blogging. Let me know if you'd like to commisserate there.

Oh.. sorry.. Dystopia is a research tool I am using to look at Neural Nets! I don't have a -regular- blog ;)
