Now that I have completed the Primal Quest and also completely neglected this blog for well over 6 months - I am back. PQ was a success with a 15th place finish and also a full story at http://eaglinar.blogspot.com/
My thoughts for today have turned to energy infrastructure and particularly transportation. There has been much musing and betting over what technology will replace fossil fuels. Right now my bets are really on electric vehicles (I've looked at hydrogen - but simply see too many problems establishing the infrastructure to support it. The world in a few years will have two major changes; one will be a very strong switch to hybrid and then fully electric as we create better batteries, the other will be the more localized generation of electricity. Some breakthroughs in solar and wind will allow individuals to be able to generate power locally and easily. Putting these 2 together does make this my bet. For folks who have been avid readers of my blogs - look to this one , I will be posting more regularly and giving "my thoughts".
