So I have recently moved to NYC and the city has become my new home. I am living in an apartment in Long Island and it is beautiful. Except there is one huge problem there is no ventilation. No fans, no circulation creates a huge problem. Already I have a cold and all my roommates are sick. Not having quality ventilation allows for bacteria and viruses to form.
Wind turbine Engineering
Last weekend I am going to Atlantic City for a friend’s bachelor party and I notice that there are wind turbines. There are four wind turbines spinning and one not doing anything. Whoever was the moron that engineered/set up these wind turbines I am sorry to say but you must go back to school. When setting up wind turbines the only way that they can be effective is by spinning to collect the wind and transferring it into energy that can be used. Unfortunately there is a wind turbine which millions of dollars were spent on that isn’t effective. That is some useless spending but I am going to guess that [...]
Green Power?
Is buying green power the right way to go? Is buying green power an excuse for power companies to build factories while not having to pay for anything? Green power is a good thing to do first off. It supports the production of wind turbines, solar pvs, biomass plants, and on. But why is it that the utility companies rely on the consumer to have these built? Can’t the utility company use some of there revenue to help build these plants to help out the consumer! So much pressure is put on the individual to change but where real change occurs is at a massive level i.e. the utility companies. [...]
Go Green?
I want to bring up the importance of America relying less on foreign oil. However the fact that we are killing the ozone I am putting into question now.

I know that humans aren’t helping but to say they are the sole reason for the ozone depletion is a little presumptuous.
