Just wondering, from hearing about all the sheet metal roofing in the streets, if one installs solar panels in that area, wouldn't this expensive investment be vulnerable to being torn off or damaged every hurricane season?

Reality Report rocks, thanks Jason and Nate. Links to these shows are probably
my most forwarded links to friends and family.

"a great amount of analytical ability serving no social function" -Nate Hagens.

How do we change that? Can it be changed by humans, or will nature change it for us?
I really don't know. It's like the collary of Kunstler's "greatest misallocation of resources
in the history of the world" meme. The misallocation of human brain capital. The misallocation
of human creativity and motivations, and of visions and dreams.

It's almost as if this crisis is forcing us to evolve. Maybe it will be seemingly small, like
some tiny shift in neuronal connections that links self-interest to social-interest, or associates
them more closely. (or activating or re-activating dormant, pre-existing parts of our mind)

I really don't know what's going to happen, but it seems clear that something has to give.
If we want to do more than just survive (at the most mean level) then i'm guessing that something
is going to have to be us humans. Maybe it really is just as simple as One Step at a Time. I just
fear we're running out of Time. (and that itself might make us do stupid things)
