I love your list! I have one thing to add re: Windpower. The week before the HOB show, CJ and I had driven east to Arizona through the Indio area, It's known for those freaky windmills. So when "Windpower" started, complete with video of the freaky windmills, I turned around and shot him a look. He was grinning already and winked at me. No one else saw it, but it was a fun moment. :) During the drive, I had commented that they look like a Cold War nightmare. There you go! I took a little movie with my digital camera, not knowing it would be so topical. http://tinyurl.com/kccsz And I just got home from a weeklong trip to Kitty Hawk, the birthplace of aviation, known for its wind power. What should I learn from all this?
