Energy

1. also e·lec·tri·cal (-tr-kl) Of, relating to, producing, or operated by electricity: In physics, energy (from Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working"[1]) is a quantity that is often understood as the ability to perform work. This quantity can be assigned to any particle, object, or system of objects as a consequence of its physical state.

I've been looking at the Honeywell Low Wind Speed turbine as a way of offsetting my electrical costs. As a single, enviro-friendly homeowner, my electrical consumption is pretty low, and this appears to be a way in which I could eliminate my electrical bill. (Actually not, since the power has to be sold back to the energy company at some ridiculously low rate -- but of course! too good to be true that there would be a simple solution.)

Some of my energy and resources went into 12 hours of continuing education this weekend. Dr. Micheal Dobbins gave a class on 'Nutrition - A to Z.' Except there was so much material, we got through 'A-H.' And I know that we could have spent an entire weekend on each of the slides he showed. How do you start? WHERE do you start? Anywhere. Jump in, that's all any of us can do.

Nutrition is an uncertain science. We're in the dark ages of its development. My mother was way ahead of her time, scoffing at additives and enriched products. Take Wonderbread, enhanced by '14 essential nutrients!' Her comment: 'Why take things out just to add them back? That can't be good for you!' She was right.

The nutrition pendulum swings. I think of Woody Allen's confusion in 'Everything you wanted to know about sex.' In one scene, he heard someone from the future (which is actually NOW) talk about how the experts have found that steak, butter, high fat foods have all been found to be more healthy than margarine and whatever the food fads of those days were. Son of a gun! He was prescient! Margarine and trans fats - bad! Butter - good! Beef (organic) good!

More on this soon. I've got to synthesize and sort through the amazing amount of information provided.
