Rabbit hole? You can get out of a rabbit hole. California has gone past the event horizon of a black hole where this is no escape.

I proffer that our state capital is a miniature black where all judgement and common sense gets crushed down to a quantum singularity with a leftover debris cloud of greed and corruption circulating just outside the event horizon.

I can only say that we get what we deserve in this instance.

We need more reservoirs providing more hydroelectric source if we are going to stop global warming and save the blinkin’ world.

What’s an electron? Someone who elects Obama?

…power grid becomes more precarious because of a lack of voltage needed to push electrons through power lines. Voltage is like water pressure between two points in a pipeline. Either there has to be gravity for water to flow or a pump to lift the water to a higher point. In a similar fashion, there has to be enough voltage in the power grid for the electrons to flow. The typical voltage required to transmit electricity from power-generating stations is 110 kilovolts to 1,200 kilovolts. Just as loss of water pressure in a pipeline results in no water flow, a sudden drop or spike in voltage can lead to a power blackout.

Glad you clarified that, Wayne. Given your constant whining about how awful things are in our great state, I read the first paragraph with some trepidation.

The people selling RPS knew this going in but when the government starts throwing money around in pursuit of a mythical power source, why not tell them what they want to hear and take the money? A lot of people have gotten rich and no one has went to jail for scamming the tax payers. Scamming people out of their money is entirely legal as long as its the government who’s doing the scamming.

So-called green energy is not new. How long has windmills been around? Solar power and so-called “biofuels? If they were a practical and reliable source of power it would have been done hundreds of years ago.

Nikola Tesla single-handedly changes the world with his invention of alternating current, Hydroelectric power, AC generators and motor and so forth but he was not satisfied. But he had an even better idea: wireless power. His problem was that he was not a greedy capitalist and thought electricity should be free. Thomas Edison and JP Morgan, greedy capitalists, made sure his ideas of wireless power never saw the light of day.

The greatest inventor in human history died penniless because he never sought a dime for any of his inventions. His inventions includes radar, radio, radio remote control, radio astronomy, and many more in the late 1800s early 1900s.

He is remembered in physics and electrical engineering by the magnetic flux density measurement unit appropriately called the Tesla. Today, the science and engineering world are beginning to explore Tesla’s ideas. Ideas he came up with in the late 1800s.
