Designing a new electricity system is cheap compared to actually building it. We could know what we want, if we wanted to. in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:58:48, 2017-09-23
By default, we'll keep doing what we’re doing. Anything else is an act of volition. That requires premonition. Looking ahead. Pro Me The Us in reply to ZaneSelvans 19:57:47, 2017-09-23
