You know, you present me with some of the most interesting things to read about. Take, for instance, the information about energy from waves. I was reading it like it was something all new...although it is relatively a new endeavor...and I had no idea that such devices for creating energy from waves were already being used until I read about the one off of Scotland and the one off of Portugal. The anaconda is fascinating and seems rather sensible in it's abilities to work. I got as much out of the comments as I did the actual piece, for it stretched the concept of other possible areas to harvest energy...such as in the waters of the Great Lakes or, in the case of wind, on mountain tops. I can see all this and it is exciting.
I appreciate your delight and thank you for ALL your comments. I'm so glad all this GOOD NEWS Inspires you and helps to make your day.
The past few days either my computer or blogster is sooo slow I can't get into all your comments to reply back.
So here is a BIG thank you for the comments you always leave!
