Having enjoyed Japan’s clean, safe, and amazingly efficient train system, the idea of setting foot on a MARTA train absolutely horrifies me since from what I hear MARTA is just about the opposite of that. Public transportation is a great idea I endorse (since even though it’s not necessarily cheaper than driving, you don’t have to go to the trouble of dealing with car insurance, parts, and breakdowns, among other things), but it’s really hard to build good public transportation in a pre-existing city. I think the reason why Japan’s works so well is that it was essentially built into the cities as they were constructed, but Atlanta probably missed its opportunity (General Sherman?) As a result I suspect that, as with gas crisis, an entirely new alternative is necessary to fix things. I just don’t know what it is yet.

Oh, and I meant to say, well done on keeping up the blog at all. Hang on in there.

if the oil tycoon is smart, I guess he’s bound to diversify into other forms of energy. But you do have to bear in mind the numbers: 1m homes is not that many, as a proportion. And it doesn’t cover vehicles, nor business use, … [I'm inferring from your blog; I don't know the story] And this is the world’s biggest wind farm you’re talking about. I’m all for diversification, but you do have to get this stuff in perspective. It’s doubtful that wind can ever supply a particularly large proportion of our needs. (or are they wants?!)

In this case I’d term success as stopping the proliferation of weaponry by NK, every step in the right direction is a victory of sorts.
The wrong type of people seemed to be the same conclusion that a local talk show host came to, and I think it’s probably close to hitting the mark. It’s a shame that local biases against lower income workers continues to keep those workers down.

North Korea anti-nuke success? What does that definition look like/ They have over 300 bombs, all made in the past six years. Some how you don’t think that will be enough? Success….closing the door after the cows are out! Right! As to the ranking….the third reported to the second, who reports to the first, who reports to the Secretary of State, who…. You see how it is done? And finally the Republican were actually listening to their voters, who don’t want to “wrong” kinds of people coming to their homes….You know who “they” are don’t you????? I always thought they would like those kinds better seeing how they carry guns too….BUT NOOOOOOO!!!!
