Well, ok, maybe with the riot gear and all... Jammies & textin' sounds like a good backup plan. I'll glued to the set as well. Dude, you should totally go!

I've been glued to CNN for pretty much the last two months. A fellow political-junkie friend of mine and I were going to drive to St. Louis tomorrow night to tailgate the VP debate. Ken put the kibosh on that--"There will be protesters and police in riot gear"--and so I'm not sure what we'll do. Probably we text each other madly while watching in our jammies. I actually took a political test online the other day and apparently I'm a centrist (the other choices were Rep, Dem, anarchist, and socialist). But if pressed I'd call myself a republican. Yo!

This would actually provide a way for new homes to sort of come at the problem from the other direction. If new homes can effectively break away from the grid with something like this, then it alleviates some of the demand that the power companies will need to provide, making the goal that much more achievable. The technology is all there. It's just going to take some concerted effort, and then some serious support from the government to get things moving. Once it <strong>does</strong> get moving, though, it'll be like a freight train... Yeah, I’m hoping that we (the U.S.) can make a dent in Al Gore’s energy challenge.

Thanks! You can vote online; the catch is you have to be a member of SFWA. Are you a member of SFWA? Hmm. I'm coming in on Wednesday, though I think it'll be a little late. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make it, or, if I do, if I feel like being pelted with paintballs. I shall have to ponder... Hey Ken. Thanks!
