1. Very good for the salmon. We have lost so much biodiversity. Still, I wonder

what plan was implemented by the states and the utility companies to make up the loss of hydroelectric power.

And you know, if you think this through, we do tend to praise hydroelectric power as a safe and renewable resource, but if the salmon were dying in high numbers, then it is not really that safe and renewable, is it?

Lately, I keep thinking about Nikola Tesla and his electromagnetic theories. Do you know that he built that 'Tesla' coil with the intent to harness the earth's electromagnetic field so unlimited electric power could be transmitted through the air, just like we do now with wireless communications at no cost - enough for everyone.

Unfortunately, the parasitical orc-like monkey creatures that inhabit the world of finance just couldn't have that because then they would not be able to profit off our collective need.

I do not know if you have heard this, but when Tesla died in the '40s, William Trump, Donald's uncle, who taught at MIT was dispatched by the US government to review the materials in the eight giant chests full of papers Tesla had. Trump looked over the materials, said, "There's nothing to see here, folks!" and viola! The chests disappeared no one knows where.

I always imagine a huge government warehouse filled with crates, much like the one in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

When will we as a species grow up enough to get rid of our 'me, me, me' attitude of rugged individualism that Wall Street has so carefully cultivated in us, and enter into a more collective awareness from which we plan forward for the species as a whole as well as all other life on the planet?

Oh, I know I'm a shameless idealist, but the truth is you can but shake your head when you contemplate what this earth could be in the face of what it actually is.
