Well, wind was the cheap energy source for most of our history with shipping food, for example. Before anyone jumps in with perishability and the improvements of the modern tanker..they usually don't refridgerate the food, and the tankers run near idle to cut costs. It's all a convoluted mess, honestly. More to do with politics and obsolete technologies than necessity or efficiency in most cases. I'm a big fan of Buckminster Fullers contention that fossil fuels represent an important source of energy for developing better, longer term solutions for our energy problems, and shouldn't be viewed (or should have never been viewed) as the solution themselves.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
