i'scream

"Renewable" energy projects are all the rage these days and one subset that's spreading like dry rot is the idea of reclaiming energy from passing cars, walking, or whatever.  Strange thing, it isn't that new, as this example courtesy of Hugo Gernsback's Electrical Experimenter from about 1920 shows.

It even has a trendy "i" in front of its name.

    The caption says it all: "Hoover says Economize, Hence no Free Rides". The statist has always desired to control and dictate human behavior, be he Republican or Democrat. Political affiliation does not guarantee ideology. But statist ideology always has the same end: Servitude to the state and poverty of the populace.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
