https://glatiak1948.wordpress.com/2015/01
Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. January 30, 2015. But I see it a bit differently and am perhaps a bit more pessimistic. My comment:. So sure, we can come up with technological equivalents for natural processes but the basic issue of more people makes this a losing proposition. And it diverts resources from other uses. What is the solution? In a sense it is a far bigger challenge than going to the moon. And it will be hard. But like that latter effort the real benefit will be what we...Creat...

Ontario’s Alternate Power Reality – Glatiak1948's Weblog
https://glatiak1948.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/ontarios-alternate-power-reality
Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. April 23, 2015. Ontario’s Alternate Power Reality. Just yesterday there was a news item that here in Ontario our power rates are going up again effective the first of May. In one of the discussions there was a link to an interview with Premier Wynne in the Ottawa Citizen where she mentioned that the government was dedicated to pushing power rates up and up, referencing the Long Term Energy Plan of 2013, released mid 2014. And do we care? All of this reminds m...

https://glatiak1948.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/public-services
Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. May 19, 2015. A long time ago I ran into a comment that said, in effect, that all politics are local. The reason the leaders of large aggregates of people seem so unresponsive is that the world looks different from there. At that distance the issues of large pools of people merge and vanish. And besides, how can they keep track? Schumacher was right. Small is beautiful — it is affordable, maintainable and likely governable. But as long as our le...If you beli...

Political Impunity and Corruption – Glatiak1948's Weblog
https://glatiak1948.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/political-impunity-and-corruption
Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. November 20, 2014. Political Impunity and Corruption. Over the last weeks there has been mention in the press that some execs in OPG also sit on the boards of some of their suppliers. Or that the old head of the Ontario Liberal party was also the head of a wind turbine company. Is there a relationship between these connections and the obsessiveness by the Ontario government to landscape rural areas with unwanted wind farms? This entry was posted in ideas.

March 2015 – Glatiak1948's Weblog
https://glatiak1948.wordpress.com/2015/03
Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. March 9, 2015. System scalability — a classic fail (again). Problem is that computers are really poor at sharing anything but very good at faking it. Easy to forget, especially in these days of applications with little bits spread all over the landscape. And on local networks, no matter how fast, transfers happen one bit at a time. Development tools that emphasize simplicity and cute effects for down to the bone functionality. March 5, 2015. A wasteful excess...

Thoughts about Technology, Energy and Events. March 26, 2016. A number of factors came together in my mind this morning when I saw a comment on Farcebook. The individual was complaining about the retrograde progress being made in Ontario with the Green Energy program and the soaring price of power — the suggestion was that they were working hard to turn Ontario into a 3rd world province.
