As I crossed the bay this morning, the water was churning, and there were many whitecaps. Not uncommon, particularly this time of year with the North wind blowing in. I wonder just how much power could be captured with wind turbines on the causeway? Come to think of it, there are several areas with high winds. I think it would be a good idea to harness some of this power.

I actually work hard to get some of those big, bad federal dollars back to the donors (i.e small governments who pay them in).
Small governments are the donors?
Silly me, I thought the donors were the taxpayers.......

Sorry, I should have connected the dots from donor states to donor cities and counties to donor residents of those cities and counties.

Everytime I travel down to Houston, I see these huge wind turbine blades on trucks headed north. I wonder where they are being built and where they are headed?

Texas just happens to be a great place to put them, lots of wind and open, flat land -
