The sun is starting to shine in Iowa. My son just picked up a super-geek job with a Fortune 500 company expanding here. Much of the competition he beat out were guys that had driven straight-through all the way from OH and PA, and doubled up in motel rooms to save money - having been out of work for many months.
Gasahol, Biodiesel, Biomass processing, new data centers, and smart-grid technology are going to pull us out of this mess, while OBlahblah, ALGORE & associated Goons pound sand over the fiction of Global Warming, 30%-or-less-efficient, part-time pinwheels, and grossly costly solar power. The home my Dad and I built is air-solar boost-heated and geothermally air-conditioned, odds are my 100%-electric utility bills are 1/2 yours. And, yes, I bloody well have UPSs backing up my servers, etc.
Two things the blithering Demoncrap arseholes in Dizzy City can't change are physics and engineering fundamentals. They can call plate tectonics 'champagne' if they want to, but if you live in Kaliphonya you better have a life raft in your Yugo or be one helluva swimmer. Same thing goes for the Corps of Engineers and the Mississippi; eventually Mother Nature is going to switch Ol' Man River back to Brownsville - and all the JuJu on Bourbon Street ain't gotta prayer of stopping it.
Know your history, and build your bungalo on a rock foundation at least 100' feet higher than the last 500-year storm reference. Your other choice is to trust 'Krackpot & Krew' and wait for a rescue helicopter or the National Guard to magically appear - if Hillary will agree to the delay associated with the photo-op.
