Would be a good place for wind turbines.

I wouldn't drive my Jeep on that. There is a bridge over a gorge here in Wisconsin that has "Caution: High Winds!" signs before you get there. I was driving to Chicago a couple of months back and there was a wind stoem goin on, which was doubly worse. It was okay until I passed a semi at which point I was pretty sure that the fasteners holding my hood on were going to let loose.

I guess that's what happens when you're a high profile kind of guy. I always wondered if your fasteners were just a little loose, but now I know it was just the wind. My apologies. |

Trucks like this are more suceptible to wind because being empty they have less weight to keep them down and even more because the drivers tend to go faster because of it. I wonder if it could be possible to build collapsible trailors... |

Where is Slite when you need him. There are so many ways to interpret that post.

Autoroutes, highways and transportation should be done underground. This way emissions could be controlled and pollutants be captured directly from the air evacuation systems stations.
Just a silly thought... |
