Hi, Kingston Digital Corridor,
Here’s my new cartoon for the Sierra Club…just an example of Digital Corridor content.

Not sure I agree completely with the sentiments, but it was entertaining.
The pinheaded little sierra-club snarkwad in the video is a good symbol for all that is unpalatable about the renewable energy crowd. Arrogant and condescending.
Jeez RJ,
Are you shooting for the ironic comment of the year award?
Um, jeez. No, MG. Look, I believe in responsibly reducing energy consumption where practical; that just makes sense, but I’m not going to wear a hairshirt about the issue. I and most others want reliable supplies of electricity. You don’t get that with a windmill. It’s either coal or nuclear.
You can augment the electricity supply with solar and perhaps wind on a localized scale, but for rock-ribbed reliability you need a powerful source of electricity.
OK RJ,
You’re talking and thinking in dead economy terms. Co-generation, distributed energy solutions are the new paradigm. Centrally controlled generation of power is a bad idea in many ways. Small co-generation plants, solar, wind, installed house by house and feeding the grid from a million different places is more dependable and less monopolistic. And yet, you say coal and nuclear is the only way. Monolithic centralized production of any commodity is environmentally unsustainable. And in general terms, produces a lousy product to boot.
Well said Mark!
Maybe we let Sarah Palin decide. This GOP leader/poster girl wants to run a new pipeline for natural gas from Alaska to the middle of Canada so it’s more accessible to us. Except that we already have a glut of natural gas in the lower 48 and prices are dropping. “Pipe, baby, pipe.” What a looney.
The distributed model is far more palatable to me.
