Our US government is full of idiots, starting from the top.
People are worried about their hydro bills being too high. They are worried about their jobs. And they are concerned that the government is spending more than they take in.
Instead of addressing these concerns of Ontario taxpayers, the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals cancelled two gas plants to protect their political power.
That is what this is about.
The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, at least comparable in impact to the advent of the printing press and the telegraph.

By Jennifer Martinez - From July to December last year, Google received 2,285 government requests to remove more than 24,000 pieces of content posted by users on its Web services, according to its latest "Transparency Report." That's up from the first six months of 2012, when Google received 1,811 government requests to remove slightly more than 18,000 pieces of content. …
Alexander Graham Bell, as you probably know, invented the telephone. What you may not know, is that he also made crucial refinements to the first techniques used to record and play back sound. And yet contemporary listeners have never been able to hear Bell's voice -- until now, thanks to researchers at at the Smithsonian, Library of Congress and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
For the last six years Miguel Castillo (pictured) and his team have built dozens of platforms for connected devices, from connecting garbage cans to adding informatics to solar panels. But in 2012 Castillo realized that he was sick of reinventing the wheel for each machine-to-machine project that Wairbut, his company, accepted.
So he and his CTO, Alvaro Everlet, spun out a new company to build a platform of software and infrastructure so others could connect devices without having to reinvent the same wheel they had invented so many times before.
As my journey through the scriptures continue I find myself perplexed concerning the role of governing authorities. I was curious to see what the Bible teaches regarding this subject so I turned to Daniel 2:21, which states;
And he changes the times and the seasons; He removes Kings and raises up Kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
If you manufacture or use rotating equipment you may want to take a look at the Balancing Company. They have been in business for many years to provide balancing and spin burst testing of rotating equipment.

“Developing America’s vast renewable energy resources sustainably is an important part of President Obama’s all-of-the-above energy strategy to create jobs and strengthen U.S. global competitiveness,” said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Danielson. “The Churchill County geothermal project represents a critical investment to ensure America leads in this growing global industry, helping to create new manufacturing, construction, and operation jobs across the country while diversifying our energy portfolio and reducing pollution.”
Enhanced geothermal systems capture power from intensely hot rocks, buried thousands of feet below the surface, that lack the permeability or fluid saturation found in naturally occurring geothermal systems. As demonstrated in the infographic on the right, EGS technologies utilize directional drilling and pressurized water to enhance flow paths in the subsurface rock and create new reservoirs, capturing energy from resources that were once considered uneconomical or unrecoverable. With the support of research and development investments across the Energy Department’s renewable energy and oil and gas portfolios, American companies are now taking advantage of this untapped resource. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that EGS in the United States has the potential to enable development of 100 to 500 GW of geothermal resource capacity.
Leveraging a $5.4 million Energy Department investment — matched by $2.6 million in private sector funding—the Ormat Desert Peak project is extending the life of previously unproductive geothermal wells. Since the project’s start in 2008, the Energy Department has worked with Ormat, GeothermEx, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Lawrence Berkeley and Sandia National Laboratories to develop cost-effective and innovative production technologies that utilize protective environmental best practices and monitoring.
The Desert Peak project follows achievements at two other Energy Department-supported projects focused on demonstrating the commercial viability of EGS: The Calpine demonstration project at The Geysers in Middletown, Calif., and the AltaRock demonstration project at the Newberry Volcano near Bend, Ore.. These projects have realized important achievements in the Department’s near- to long-term EGS strategy to develop resources ranging from existing fields to undeveloped or greenfield sites.
