When you look at the situation in Florida, solar makes a lot of sense. The major use is for air conditioning during the day. Having the extra available at exactly the time when it’s needed really makes economic sense, but they’d rather use coal on barges.

Have fun at the Inge Festival.

That was what led to the CB radio craze at the time for cross-country truckers (remember “Convoy”?) and people like me who liked to speed. It also led to an experiment with year-round daylight savings time that lasted a couple of years. Carter’s programs were more practical and longer-term. So far these cats can’t come up with anything that would inflict a hardship on the oil companies, so I guess the idea of curing our “addiction” is to make the peddlers richer…
