Power Outages

Huricane Irene leaves much of the East Coast without power, again.

Unfortunately the strategy of privatization and deregulation lead to utilities prioritizing profit in favor of, keeping up with the rest of the world, never mind leadership and innovation.

Underground cables buried beneath interstate highways might provide a convenient avenue for unobtrusively extending the power grid and bringing it up to the level of today's science: super conducting, DC strategies, etc. etc.

Furthermore, cables beneath the highway could afford supplemental power to trucks and automobiles by direct induction while spreading along the roadway above.

Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
