Thought Patterns

I am not a drill sergeant, nor am I an aerobics instructor. I will not force you to do pushes ups for driving extra, needless miles; I will not cheer for you when you remember to turn off the lights when you leave a room. I will, however, present information that I think is useful, interesting, or shocking because being a true conservative (of energy, that is) is about more than making a few small changes. Like any major transformation, being energy savvy requires a change in ideology and a development of concern for our extravagant use of nonrenewable energy sources.
You know about energy that comes from wind, or water, or the sun, we learned about those in second grade; did you know energy can be derived from simple things, like static electricity from plastic combs. I am not promoting human hamsters (combing their hair for currents like rodents run in wheels for power). It’s just a thought. Energy comes in unusual forms, why are we addicted to gasoline?
