Question by Go Navy: How can I keep my macbook from going black to save energy while idle? I want to watch movies on my mac but each ten minutes or so I have to get up and touch the keyboard or something to pull it out of idle mode.. how can i stop this?

There are three disadvanages:
1. You’ve already gotten one — they detract from the beauty of the countryside.
2. They’re very expensive to build. The average turbine will not pay for itself for 15 years.
3. They’re not efficient, and therefore can never account for more than a few percentage points of the energy we need.
All told, they look “green,” and for that reason, a lot of people feel good about them. But really, they’re just not practical.
Cheers.

I’m in eastern Pa and have a wind farm not too far from me. Some people may not like the looks of them but I think they are magnificent looking when you come up upon them.
If we want energy then we will have to put up with some con part of it. Nothing is perfect.
