green energy in indiana
July 18Yesterday evening, I found myself reading up on green energy and brainstorming ideas to cut down on consumption. Google pointed me to the 2005 Sustainability Report on my electric company’s web site.
From the report:
Cinergy’s leadership on this issue is not limited to rhetoric…We introduced a green tariff in Indiana and will actively market carbon-free electricity in the Hoosier state in 2006.
Cool.
I called my electric company, Duke Energy (formerly Cinergy), this afternoon to find out more. Brenda, my rep, had not heard of “green energy.” I explained that it generally referred to electricity produced by sustainable means such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. She explained that this hasn’t yet occurred. Instead, she said that Duke had “mostly coal plants” and maybe “a couple fusion ones.”
Fusion, eh? Perhaps they’re further ahead here than I thought. Brenda suggested that I call back later in the year.
I just might.

Neat!
I just read your blog back to the video tour of your home. Hannah told me that you’re changing a lot and not terribly excited to return to Indiana. I always like hearing your thoughts on whatever, so I hope we can talk soon. When are you coming back?

God-inspired/penned?
Insightful?
or Blasphemy?
I’m reading it because I’m in a small bible study where we’ve ended up talking about the power of positive thinking a lot. Example: Does praying for a job express a lack of faith? Or should one just know that a job is coming to them?
Do “positive” particles attract other “positive” particles?
