...noticed the details of the things around you.
The world, the companies, the governments, the people and the little details that you see around you, and say to yourself..."that is weird", or "why did they do it that way", or" if they only thought it through".
For instance, have you noticed that on the SUV's that Chevy makes, the front running lights underneath the headlight seems that there is always one side burned out, only one side working?
or...
Have you noticed, even though our gasoline for the machines we drive on a daily basis, the driving habits of people have not changed?
For instance, when you pull over from the number one lane into the number 2 lane, and a car was behind you in the number one lane before you changed lanes, that driver of that car will always speed forward, ahead of you, to gain that little distance you just gave up.
or...
Why doesn't China focus on an alternate energy source for their people, cornering the market on that source, and buying less oil then they need? I mean after all, China is a communist/socialist country, controlling the daily lives of it's people anyway. Why doesn't it find a systematical fuel source that they can monopolize the world market with, requiring it's people to use. Exporting and licensing the technology for it's own means.
What else?

That is true, but what about the oil thing? Cars and transportation is much greater even than the largest hydro-electric damn in the world.
Besides that, this is old tech, not new, and certainly is not a monopolizer.

I first discovered this in the documentary Manufactured Landscapes, following photographer Edward Burtynsky. This is an interesting video on the Three Gorges Dam. Link |

Ever notice that some meteorologists say that it is partly sunny outside?
How can it be partly sunny?
The sun is never partial.
It can be partly cloudy. Clouds come and go, but even on a thick, cloudy, rainy, foggy day, the sun is still unhindered with it's solar power.
