Do you have a contingency plan?

no problem. just shove it in your bag. If Conan the Barbarian can do it with 2 ferrets, so can you :cool2:
 
I emailed the city. I got a nice email back on this issue. They do have some stuff planned for most disasters.

They also gave me a bunch of links - two of which I found useful for this thread:
Ready.gov - Prepare. Plan. Stay Informed.
READYColorado

They provide simple information on being ready.


In any case I am not too worried. We're either dead, or we will find a way out of it. No big deal
 
Anybody know anything about perpetual motion machines?
 
Well, maybe TXGolfer has seen or heard of them...especially in his line of work. I saw an offer of 100 bucks for the necessary parts to build one that will save about 40% on a home's utilities. Pay a bit more to build a bigger machine to cover 100% on utilities. Anything over that, one would need storage batteries or the meter would reverse and the utility company would send one a check for the overage generated.

I have heard of windmill powered electrical generators. Is that perpetual motion machine?

Besides if it actually worked - the city of Boulder would have mandated ALL new housing to come with that kind of innovation.

Maybe the utility lobby is too powerful or some other reason?

no. lol it has nothing to do with lobbyist or whatsoever. it's because it's impossible.

think of it this way - Humans eat and shit and eat shit and shit shit and repeat cycle. that way - we don't need to keep growing crops since we have "renewable source". same for piss & drink. doesn't exactly work like that, right?

There are other mandates for new houses here in town. You must have solar panels installed. There are a great deal of incentives for you to go green.

The motion machines isn't one of them.
