“Sometimes I think the Congress feels that if you only decided tomorrow to switch to wind power that in two years we'd be getting 80 percent of our electricity from wind power. It's nonsense. Normally it takes 20 to 30 years after a new technology is demonstrated and deployed before it powers even 15 or 20 percent of the grid. There's this long lag time, and we haven't even decided which directions to go.” IfsThinkingFeelsYearsLongTwoSometimesTechnologyHavensWindTomorrowPercentDecidedCongressNonsenseTwo YearsElectricityNew TechnologyGridsLagWind Power Author:Paul R.

“We have things to say about Congress and all of that. I think we may have our magnum opus coming yet. It's a piece called "Leonard" that I'm very excited about, and I think we're going to see a side of Chris Pine that people haven't really seen yet. That's all I'm going to say, but I'm proud of it.” PeopleThinkingMaySidesPiecesHavensProudCongressExcited Author:Joss Whedon
