Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). 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 you can donate.

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.
