Trying to make sense of things by looking at causes and understanding their effects. Using science to discern what's real and relationships to determine what's of value. Curious about everything.

Games people play - alternative energy

A while back I stumbled upon a game Chevron had put out to get people to start thinking about how you’d actually power your city if you want to get off of oil… http://www.willyoujoinus.com/

First thing I discovered is that you can’t put solar electric on the roofs of the houses.  Bogus right there.  Also looks like the only solar is PV.  Bogus again.

Try these instead:
