Remarks like these made by Trump in Dallas are apparently moving Iran to reinstate and accelerate its nuclear weapons program. This is a level of foolishness that no American president has ever exhibited before.

Plug-in solar systems are designed to be used w/o requiring specialized technicians or construction permits. In Europe, systems like this are wildly popular, especially for renters who do not have permission to install permanent solar panels on their buildings. No pay wall.

How balcony solar can help renters and homeowners save money

Small-scale solar panels usable by renters and without rooftop installation can boost renewable energy use and reduce the effects of high electricity prices.

Pretty cool watching California's first solar-over-canal project succeed. Looking forward to more scale on the next go-round — currently two installations totaling less than one-third of a mile. www.fresnobee.com/news/califor...

I use the end of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance all the time in my teaching. This is how we end up with this "Washington and the cherry tree" stuff and "Martin Luther nailing the 95 Thesis to the door." Myth is simple fun, but history is even stranger... and more accurate.
