Power in 2020
It is 11:55 pm, December 31st, 2019. The celebrations are going strong in Times Square like they do every year. People seem excited, but not just for the usual ringing in of a new year. 2020 will be the first new year that the city is completely powered by a pair of brand new breeder reactors. It took years of research, planning, and legislation, but the first one finally lit up early in the year, with the second one following a few months later. Suddenly the low buzz of conversation halts as… Continue

Some scientists have placed… Continue

A small Garden
Every year my family plants a small personal garden. It is usually a mix of vegetables and flowers, but recently they chose to only plant vegetables that they can use. Unfortunately, the past few years have produced a poor yield. I made the drive to their home this weekend to see if I could figure out what the problem is. I tested the pH levels of the soil, and it would seem that the levels were a bit high, around 7.1-7.5 in some areas. Most plants thrive at a pH level of 6.2-6.8 (not all… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
