To reduce my personal CO2 output I'm presently working on a scheme to harness the energy from my anxiety over our dependence on fossil fuels and the depletion thereof. I've got plenty of anxiety, now if I could just...

LOL!! I wish I could harness my anxiety as well.

Most of our power plants in Florida are Nukes, what is blowing my mind is they are building a new plant between West Palm Beach and Lake Okeechobee and its going to be natural gas fired. I don't get it.

The rules: It must not be in an out of the way location 100 miles from nowhere in BFE. Must be a populated area of reasonable size...IE: City/town

Note: I saw diesel at $5/gal in various other places two weeks ago, so I'm surprised they're this low on the Diesel...

Compared to "working class" Ypsilanti, it's usually 10-20cents higher in neighboring Ann Arbor 20 miles away.
