Clean(er) Electricity

They must have switched to ELO. 😛

All those clan leaders who voted against the proposal are now persons non grata, I have nothing to say to those who wish to perpetuate a system that is both inherently corrupt and open to manipulation. This will be my last year as a clan leader, if I even make it to the end of the year.

Its naught but boofheadery I say! That Ghost of a Duke with his raked Zen garden and Japanese wife swanning about drinking tea while cherry blossom blows like snow and me hacking weeds up all day yesterday in my jungle of a garden. Is there no justice?

“I wouldn't mind
if life left me...
wingless
burnt to cinders
ripped by storms
scattered...like weeds
celestially wounded
without cherry blossoms
to perish with
but I would cry
with head held in my hands
if it left me...
unfulfilled.”

You have electricity in your wigwam?

It TAKES electricity to keep your wigwam if you are cold.

Actually Wigwams are normally not heated by electricity.

If you think of it electrical heating is a real waste:
1. you convert chemical energy into thermal energy
2. you convert thermal energy into kinetic energy by Evaporation.
3. you convert kinetic energy into electrical energy
4. you tranform electrical energy to high voltage for Transportation
5. you transform electrical energy to low voltage for use
6. you convert electrical energy into thermal energy.

Each step comes with a loss. Five additional steps come with high loss. The French feel that now that nuclear electricity is not so cheap anymore...

For keeping warm in my wigwam, I find that cuddling up to the Missus is far more efficient.
