posted by crysflame at 2003-06-15 23:24

crysflame: "All it took to kick-start their romance was an unsuspecting online magazine, a letter, procrastination, some clever e-mails and a couple of trips to Vancouver, during which Vancouver was rarely glimpsed."

Enviromentally friendly power crashes with NIMBY syndrome

crysflame: "I'm all for these factories, but there must be areas that are far less valuable than this place is.'' -- Walter Cronkite
crysflame: ''Traditionally, power plants were built in poor neighborhoods, so people living in nice neighborhoods weren't forced to confront the human cost of using electricity'' -- Greg Watson, Mass. Technology Collaborative
crysflame: "there should be an energy discount for people living near power plants. The further away you live, the more you pay for you electricity.", from slashdot comments
seti: Why? It's a basic commodity, isn't it
crysflame: "Somewhere, sometime, highly populated states are going to realize that they are not entitled to simply purchase energy production from other states without suffering the drawbacks of that production.", also from slashdot comments
crysflame: i think that all geographic regions should be somewhat self-sufficient; it's okay to use excess of something from another region (like, say, power), but it's not okay to ignore sources of something in your own region (like, say, wind power)
