We know Capitol Hill, the White House and the Supreme Court are owned and run by the Koch brothers...and what can we do?
Electric cars are making a headway. All we are waiting for is good battery. We must keep up the good fight for solar, wind and others. The only card the utilities are playing with solar is who pays for the grid, and when real electricity storage is available there will be no turning back.
We can continue to promote that eating meat consumes massive resources. My grocer stocks organic, and I know the restaurant portions are enough for several meals. An idea I have is ‘splits’, which is where customers order a steak...several bites! The steak is split up with customers.
Also we have to be realistic about growth and development. More people means more homes, roads, businesses to supply the additional people, more malls and so on.
We know we go to a grocery store, put the food in plastic bags, which are used only to carry from the store to our car, then from our car to our kitchen. I have begun a campaign of no plastic bag I have the food put right in the cart.
The plug-in electric is our best option. This is fully electric vehicle — for example it does not have a drive shaft from the engine that connects to the wheels — and the engine only charges the batteries, does not turn the wheels.
We are making progress. I went to Raleigh from central Florida with my sister, and we traveled by Amtrak. In town we either walked or rode bus. Electronics helped me out — I now have a tablet that uses very little power. We all know the LED has taken over light bulbs.
We can take up the fight personally. No one is making us eat too much meat, drive too much, waste plastic; these are personal choices.
I agree Trump’s two ‘goals’ seem to be the wealthy sticking it to the poor and the Caucasian racism raising its ugly head. I see money as a tool to help. All we need is medical care, once you have that you do not need anything else.
I want to help by teaching. I applied for astronaut February last year 2016, and currently I am case number 423817000. My goal is to teach, and I want to inspire, especially those who feel the American dream is beyond their reach.
