Used to get it. Tried to over look the nuttiness.
Then one day was reading about a guy who ran his place and vehicles with wood gassifiers he had made. He got the scrap wood for free from the local lumber mill.
The author, (not the subject of the article) wondered why anyone would used coal and oil when it was just so easy to get "free energy".
I put it down and decided with authors that dim I just could not take it seriously any more.
Switched to "the new pioneers". More how to, less BS.
Wow.
The last time we got “free” energy from lumber, most of the Eastern Woodlands got harvested. And that was with a much smaller population. I wonder how the author would like every tree in North America cut down. :)
Oh, yes. ME is definitely filled with crunchy dopes. ;)
I also used to truly enjoy ‘Organic Gardenin’g back in the days of Mike McGrath as Editor but then the ‘Rodale Clan’ felt the need to ‘progressive-ize’ the rag, so that put an end to that for me.
Really? I can’t even GARDEN without those a-holes preachin’ at me? Yeesh! When did vegetables become a venue for politics?
Liberals ruin everything. EVERYTHING!
