What good is wind energy if we can’t transmit it? August 28, 2008. Paul called my attention to this NYT article:. Wind Energy Bumps Into Power Grid’s Limits. The dirty secret of clean energy is that while generating it is getting easier, moving it to market is not. The grid today, according to experts, is a system conceived 100 years ago to let utilities prop each other up, reducing blackouts and sharing power in small regions. It resembles a network of streets, avenues and country roads. August 27, 2008.

My First Gold Coin. For as long as I’ve been writing this blog, and for at least two years before that, I’ve been interested in gold. Over this period I’ve maintained a roughly 10% allocation to gold in my portfolio I’ve done this through two ETFs: GDX and GLD.

https://willrwright.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/craziness-in-the-gold-market
Craziness in the Gold Market. Gold prices have fallen from $1,000 to under $800 per ounce just in the last month. As prices fell below $800, demand for physical gold rose to the point that many dealers including the US Mint! Ran out of supply. Bill Fleckenstein offers a great explanation.
