A wife in Africa? Interesting thought. I think I'll stick with my Vietnamese wife, though, before we were married I was tempted by Angolan, Zimbabwe and Mozambican girls.

Nothing beats the Vietnamese treasures though.

Interesting! Yesterday or the day before Pres. Obama promised that General Electric will build wind farms here with a capacity of big figures.

Matt,
   It is the future we are hoping for free energy from the sun, wind and the ocean. We hope we will be less dependent to oil in the next 30 years, and so our cars next..

You don't need to convince me, our new house has solar water heating on the roof that works very well. What I need now is a solar water distiller. There is a huge market for that here.

I'm in.
Richard, I haven't seen you for a while and I'm happy to see you next time :)

Tim the Mackem
