oh Lord... our dependency on electricity is beyond understanding. I figured that away from Florida I would no longer be reminded every year that we are a worthless nation without energy. But no... hurricanes apparently will follow me even to Ohio. Ike came through and devasted Cincinnati. Most of the city has been without power... I thankfully just got mine back a few hours ago (after 24 hrs!!!) but still, its hard to do anything without electricity really. And the gas stations... many ran out of gas!!! Yup, there were just a few that had power to let you pump, and those had lines of cars for several yards waiting to pump...
In spite of the very sad realization that we are eternally dependent on tradional methods of energy, somehow we are still not being serious about alternative sources of energy. With those 65 mph winds yesterday, you figure that we should have MADE energy instead of loosing it.
