Several candidates want to vanguard Arcata in Energy Independence. Bravo! But there are technologies which the mainstream hasn't considered yet, that would "at least" make the solar panel concept sufficient. Investigate. We should attract inventors and investors for our Arcata Free Energy Co. We should not wait or depend on the County or any public entitiy. We should move ahead quickly. Along these lines, we should become as independent and self-sufficient as possible in all "survival" ways, so we are not vulnerable to either international shutdowns, or major earthquake cutoffs. Ideally private persons should build up our own Emergency Supplies, but the City can begin to spur this with food banks, and moreover, multiples of water sources in case of damages to one of our water connections. I still believe there is good desalinization technology for both the private and public sectors for our security.
I appreciate Jim and all the others who have stopped the use of poisons. That is awesome and what I reallly like about living here. But do we have to mow the public lawns so much? Like the lawn in front of City Hall, and the parks? We can secure trees that endanger buildings with braces and supports in order to minimize cutting them down. [End Dex comment.]
[Begin snippet from Test article] The City's environmental consciousness needs to be demonstrated through policy, Test continued when asked to discuss issues he cares about. He mentioned the replacement of the "old, noisy, polluting little beasts" that were the City's parking enforcement vehicles with electric cars.
Also noteworthy to Test is Arcata's recent and dramatic additions to its open space and forestlands. Large tracts of pasturelands near the Bayside Cutoff have been acquired, and the Jacoby Creek Community Forest has been significantly expanded.
An energy specialist has been hired to plot resource-conserving strategies, and Arcata is collaborating with the county to create a public energy utility. And Test added the City doesn't spray chemicals on its municipal and street landscaping.
"That's why there's weeds," Test said. "We like weeds, they're green."
How about outfitting City Hall with solar panels, as one candidate has suggested? Test said it's been looked into, but was deemed unfeasible because of insufficient power generation. [End snippet from Test article]
"Free Energy" and "anti-gravity": the Biefield-Brown effect is a gravitational, not an electrostatic, pull towards the positive charged side of a strong voltage, HIGHLY RESISTED dielectric, away from the negative charged side. Check what's left of Borderland Sciences. They had an office across the alley from the now-burned down N.E.C. and Marino's Bar, and I spent hours watching videos and reading, while doing vounteer work there. I came upon their office by serendipity, not knowing it was in Arcata, after reading their journals elsewhere. This is suppressed science, the kind that would make public school daringly interesting.
