SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY &TRANSPORTATION 

We live in a sea of technology and some of it works well and some of it sucks. Usually its all very expensive and depreciates rapidly so we need to replace it every few years. Have you ever considered how much money you spend on technology every year and how long it took you to earn the money? Technology is not always your best friend either as sometimes it kills or injures you. For example what good is an imported German sports car with 400 hp rounding a corner at 85 mph only to run square into a moose taking a dump? The moose always wins.

Here we look at bullshit and stupidity in the areas of science, technology and transportation and rather than just rant about it we also offer options and a better way. How cool would that be if some of these ideas were implemented and the problems solved! The frustrating thing is that we have some of our most intelligent and hard working humans working in these fields and all they need is a bit of support from us to make things a lot better. 

How to Save the Canadian Auto Industry and how come our new car prices are so darn high? Something stinks here. And we provide a very practical solution that could be implemented in a week. We just need to get our dedicated politicians into the same room at once and let them come to a decision quickly. They can do it and the need is there. Here is a plan and others have great ideas too. Its not something that can't be solved.

AVRO ARROW once upon of time we had a world class aerospace industry but then we destroyed it. A look back at Canada's magnificent Avro Arrow the best warplane in the world designed and built right here in Canada. Had we not cancelled them they would still be flying today they were so advanced. 

Metric System in Canada half imperial -half metric -rots your brains -makes little sense! Why it's not working. Why nobody wants to touch it. We tell you something no government wants to touch. And why we are at where we are today. Even our powerful neighbours to the South gave up on Metric. But not Canada- we kept both systems and to this day we are totally confused on some basic measurements. How silly is that? 

Global Warming Here is proof its all a scam and we have been duped..maybe. Boy are we stupid! Pass the snow shovel eh! Everyone is jumping on the environmental band wagon but a couple of the wheels have fallen off and just perhaps we got it all wrong. How foolish is that! Or did we get it right and is the end near? Hmmm find out here.

EarthSolarDesign.com We have some very interesting information on solar and wind power specifically the problem with quoted utility rates and the classic error made when calculating payback times. We have DIY plans for wind turbines and solar panels that could allow you to greatly reduce your utility bills for only $200 . Not bad for a weekend project and it keeps saving you money every day from that point on. Right now the only ones making money on solar power are the ones selling and installing equipment as the payback for their systems are 12 to 16 years! We bring it down to two or three months! Check it out!
