Frost here this morning. 

A friend sent me a note this morning, that said "Windows all closed.  Last night's dinner is still trapped in here."

I sent him a note back that said, "À la recherche du temps perdu." 

I'm a snot.   

Best,

George

I think your right Chuck, about the rain and snow mix.
I got in the jeep to leave for work and when I looked at my windshield it was covered in SLUSH.

We might get some frost tonite.  For us, that's full blown winter.

My house is the coldest it's been in at least 4 months.  It's dropped to 67 inside and it feels like a freezer.  I'm trying to keep it in perspective and realize that the house really doesn't even get up to 67 in the winter....but that seems to only make me more depressed.

Note the sly shift in popular terminology. Now it's called Climate Change. If the planet cools, or the planet warms, it's still taxable.

Flip a coin and choose a side. You can find long lists of respected researchers on each side of the same coin.

We are getting pounded with wet heavy snow.

Diesel engines would be ok, but you'd get more CO2 output if you burned corn fuel, like biodiesel.

Until January, I was employed by the largest solar energy provider in North America. I like solar, it's really cool to see thousands of KW coming in free. We did large utility scale plants producing 15-20 megawatts and little rooftop systems too.

The problem for both wind and solar is the initial high cost. Economy of scale definitely helps bring the price down, but tax incentives are the real driving force to make it happen. Without the tax breaks, you are looking at 10-12 years before the system pays for itself at today's energy costs.

Now I'm in the battery business selling big batteries to people who are taking their homes off-grid using wind, solar and micro hydro.

My point is: give people a tax credit for doing something and they will jump on every time.

With the North Atlantic Oscillation looked at with larger supercomputers, a suggestion of refinement of the model had been put forward last year in his paper.

"The strong warming effect that we experienced during the last decades will be interrupted. Temperatures will be more or less steady for some years, and thereafter will pickup again and continue to warm".


This of course will be bantered, as the ways of science has been for hundreds of years.  Not much more to say until it is.


Views are being presented.

To build a future here and I think trying to keep the engineers from the auto industry in state during high unemployment, last I read there was commitment for a huge battery research complex getting a thumbs up around Brownstown in this state.

Unless you're related to Prince Charles, in which case I'd check myself for signs of flippers and fins.

Yep, Charlie - I remember global cooling caused by pollution being all the rage in the 70's.

Either way, it's a potential source of income for politicians. Look at the personal fortunes being made in the carbon credit racket. The current Cap and Trade bill will make the same folks billionaires using the same "offset" mechanism.

Can't wait to see how they install methane capture devices on the back end of cows, in lieu of the proposed $5.00 per head for range cattle and $15.00 per head on dairy cows.
