Southern California Edison might not be all that concerned in saving energy.

Southern California Edison might not be all that concerned in saving energy.

(Or allegedly stupid about some energy factors). Our pool pump went out the end of 2009.  I did quite a lot of research and found out the following: Two speed or variable speed pumps are required in California to save energy.  These motors are way more expensive than single speed motors. Every pool supply vendor failed to inform me of that California requirement and would be most willing to sell me a single speed motor.  I was extremely surprised that…

Donkeys dyed to look like zebras – news story, Oct. 2009.

Donkeys dyed to look like zebras – news story, Oct. 2009.

The reason given was many but none were cited as definitely proven as most important. The decision apparently came from the Ministry Of The Interior.

Recession Is Here – Now

Recession Is Here – Now

I have been listening to the financial TV cable shows and the consensus I have been hearing is that there is about a 40% chance of a recession.
