re: Clean Tech & Ayn Rand

I just realized Tyler left a fantastic, heretical post to the comments section last week. Again, most people won't check the comments section, so comments probably won't be seen unless they're on a very recent post.

I'm sure some of you (especially Zac) will love to see Ty's artful comments on Ayn Rand's characters being "selfish and self-indulgent." Thanks for bringing this up Tyler, I was wondering who would be the first to challenge my title and you can bet your ass on a good defense from me.

Tim,

I'm sorry if this isn't the preferred method of posting. Please, bare with..

I'll preface my thoughts by saying that I admire all of the passionate posts relating to clean tech and politics. These are very important issues. But when I first received the invitation for this blog I was excited to see all of the "eclectic" posts. I just hope more light hearted topics will make their way to this blog in the future. Actually, I'll personally make sure that they do.

I haven't read all of the posts, but in my opinion Hydroelectric energy is the answer to many of our problems. I'm sure advances in this technology are being hindered by other countries for economic reasons. And if not hindered, than at least not contributed to. It just seems obvious that producing energy from water solves many of our problems.

On another note, probably just because I enjoy disagreeing with people, I'm not thrilled with the blog being named after Ayn Rand characters. She has some great ideas but overall her concepts seem selfishh and self indulgent. Doesn't she realize that without making others happy, we can't truly make ourselves happy? I know I'm not the first person to disagree with Ayn Rand, so please let me know the error of my ways.

In the mean time, I wish you all a "shit-ton" of happiness and two "shit-tons" of cheer.

Good Day Mates
