None now! Whoohoo!

Currently caring for (and trying to adopt out) my IZA's pups. She's the dark one Rottweiller with Black and Tan coonhound (a foundling given to me by neighbors after loss of my other two). My other old dog Sheila (my grumpy old bitch) She is about 14 years and was wandering homeless and with bad leg. She now jumps up a bit yet has seen better days. I took her home knowing I'd have to take her on that 'long walk' fairly soon. Even though she growls at the pups, I've seen her grooming them too.

Organic gardening. Gathered local herbs (some transplanted), ordering other plants/seeds. Working toward heirloom veggies and fruits. Will deviate a bit with the dwarf version of warm zoned fruits (otherwise unsuited to southeastern Ohio temps).

genealogy

heirloom gardening.

sustainable gardening.

HERBS... my kitchen looks like a witch's pantry!
Teas, tinctures, spices and seasonings. From rootbeer to pokeweed.

Mastering tools!

Celtic
Classical
Big Band
some country -classical country and bluegrass (it's Hillbilly JaZZ afterall)
Jazz
R&B
some others.

Hadrian's memoirs
Cadfeil
some pagan stuff (herbal info and such in this)

Guttenburg.org (loved it even before the graphics!)

Mostly non-fiction.

horror
futuristic
Sci-fi






Interested in an outdoor kitchen of COB - for summer canning and cooking into fall (to keep house cooler too)!

First small solar panel going up this spring for led lights in outbuilding (done of ferro-cement). Small panel is my first attempt at DIY.

I am a big city girl (Chicago) moved to the country boondocks. Don't miss the city much at all.

Solar and wind.
Working toward going off grid.
Most difficult will be a water holding when switching from juice pump to solar happy pump. (holding tank for the weak hours of sun or lack of wind to run pump out of artesian well (the water is from an underground river - not an actual cistern type well).

Still dreaming of coffee grinder (human powered) while locally it is difficult to find whole beans. Grocer here seems to take the leftovers from the big city stores (at witnessed at the meat and produce counter. Never mind the addtitives in our meat supply, the fair offered at our local grocer would turn you on to wild game!

Oh, not many here!

Locally: drive down the gravel roads and spot mini dumps as people tend to toss trash (from cars, tyres and other oddities) down the hillside. Some actually bulldoze over. Recently, outhouses have been outlawed! Mine still stands as it leans like a recliner and basically used for storage. Soon to be towed to a bonfire!

There are recycle bins down in one of the towns 4 miles away, but those are collection bins for some business who wishes for 'free' materials. Not many people use them. Every time I've dumped my plastic or glass, they have been near empty.

I save my glass bottles now, as I will embed them in COB for ambient light. Used a few in my cobbed in window where I embedded my wood burner's flue for a fireproof exit from the house. (no need for double or triple insulated pipe! no major carpentry or roof re-doing and a CHEAP yet safe way to do it).

To: All of my energy friends



I am writing you an idea to achieve sustainable evolution
and development for man kind. If you accept this idea you may write me your
opinion and inform your friends too, to try for it.



What forces us to think for new methods?



As you all have been informed through media, atomic disaster
in Japan these days and the ones happened former in other regions of our
planet, there seems an urgent need to substitute wise methods of energy
production for man needs. I like most of you believe that renewable energies
are better substitute for polluting methods of energy production. I introduce
my idea to you all. I hope it will be analyzed by all the countries that can
afford for this idea.



The benefits of the method:



If we produce compressed air by wind energy in any place
that there are appropriate wind velocities, especially in deserts of the world.
We will have many benefits for our planet. Harmony will govern on our
environment if we use such ideas. Our evolution will continue, we will be able
to achieve sustainable development for all nations.



The processes:



Compressed air produced in deserts and appropriate locations
could be stored in under ground reservoirs. This process causes a small
pressure difference between deserts and other wind farms and big cities, lakes,
seas, oceans using this idea.  Compressed
air and air pressure difference produced in this process will deliver some good
opportunities to us.



A -The
mentioned compressed air in under ground reservoirs can be transferred through
appropriate pipe nets to cities.



B -In
cities compressed air can be used to deliver us mechanical and electrical
energy need of our cities.



C –
Compressed air can be injected in to special compressed vessels to be used by
our transport vehicles and boats, etc.



D –
Compressed air delivering its pressure energy will be released in to atmosphere
in cities. It will replace polluted air of cities.



E –
Compressed air yields us a good amount of fresh water as by product in above
mentioned big wind farms in deserts. The fresh water produced will be enough to
have some new settlements in deserts.



F –
High vapor content air transferring to deserts will cause more precipitation
there while more fresh water can also be produced by compressors.



G -
Oceans and seas have big potentials of wind energy too. Countries like Canada,
United States, Russia, India, China and many other countries can gain many
times more energy from wind potential energy from the seas and oceans
surrounding them too. 



H-
One of pollutants of our planet is the exhaust gas of transport vehicles. Using
compressed air



For our vehicles working with compressed
air will prevent these pollutions to enter to our atmosphere.



I –
This idea can produce more jobs than the traditional forms of energy.



Question:
 



Atomic science can be used for
many humanistic purposes. Why we are not using renewable energies like solar,
wind, biomass and other renewable ones? 
I believe we can substitute renewable energies not only instead of atomic
reactors producing electricity but also power plants using fossil fuels
too.
