Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

If I lived elsewhere, like the ME, then oil would be easier to refine. In Maine, ain't no oil to refine. There's no natural gas. So, electricity it is. I could use corn oil and refine it for diesel use.

If we were more intelligent, we'd use nuclear energy.

Watt for watt, nuclear energy is safer than gas or coal - by a huge margin, and that includes the nuclear power generation accidents we've had. Even after Chernobyl and Fukushima, it's STILL fucking safer.

I am pretty sure I am using nuclear energy. There's a nuclear power plant about 50 miles away and they tore down the old coal burning power plant much closer to me last summer. I don't think there is any other power generation in my area besides windmills. So I am either on the nukes or the wind

At home is pretty much guaranteed to by hydro if it's from the mains. But, I just rely on solar and wind. They work without failing.

If my power is out more than 7 days, I have a giant diesel generator that will power my entire house just fine. It shares a tank with my furnace that burns fuel oil (kerosene) - which burns just fine in my generator. It's a giant 5000 gallon in-ground tank. I had to get a special permit for it.

5000 gallons? That is a huge fucking tank. Back when I was married and we lived on the shore of the bay in a rural area we had a home that the furnace ran on fuel oil and the tank in the basement was only 500 gallons.
