First, check this stuff out, via Moonrat (I heart Moonrat): book lusciousness.
Nerdporn, that's what Moonrat called it. I like that phrase!
This is a new deal for me--I'm at my day job (teaching), doing my other job (writing). I shouldn't mix business and pleasure like this, but I am. Take that, State of Minnesota! I am listening to my David Byrne channel on Pandora (David Byrne + Devo + Laurie Anderson + Elvis Costello = incredible stuff) and poking at my online class, but I'm still a writer! You can't take it away from me! Ha HA!
If this blog goes down, you know they've found me out. : (
ETA: I finished this blog post, and then my computer crashed! I kid you not. But see? I'm back at it . . . tempting them . . . come and get me, state employee police!!
Here’s why. “When you have mass defection from the grid, that means many people are overinvesting in individual, unnetworked assets to meet their own peak energy demands,” says James Mandel, a manager at the Rocky Mountain Institute, in Boulder, Colo. “As a result, it leaves those least able to afford a personal power station—low-income customers, those who rent or have bad credit—to pick up the cost of the grid.” And those homeowners and businesses going it alone might find operating and maintaining their own “utility in a box” expensive and time-consuming, he adds. Needless to say, as their revenues write-my-essay-for-me.com erode, grid operators will hardly be viable. “That’s a future we’d rather not see,” Mandel says.
