My office is near the terminus of a commuter railway (electric), and just beyond it is a stretch of a fairly short rail line. Just then, as I was walking by a window, I saw a train passing. All of the flatcars, and there were a lot of them, were carrying windmill blades made for the production of electricity. Setting aside the obvious poetic juxtapositions and irony, it was a pretty impressive sight. I don't know how much of a role wind will play in our future energy supply, but I know that solar and wind have been growing fast in some parts of the country. I read something the other day about Tesla's huge plant out west that was pretty interesting in this regard.
Anyway, a slow afternoon.
