    The generator for his electricity needs isn't alternative energy, though.

    You are correct, a gas engine that generates electricity is not alternative energy.

    But the boat's primary power source is wind power and wind power is considered an alternative energy.

    I just thought it was an odd complaint and even an odder conclusion he made. He can't use alternative energy as a secondary power source on a boat who gets its primary energy from an alternative power source. Just because he can't use solar panels on a sailboat doesn't mean solar panels are bad or should only be used in space. He can't use a nuclear reactor on his sailboat either but that doesn't mean nuclear power doesn't have it's uses.

    Also I know Marazul and I'm just giving him a bad time. I've been lucky enough to see in person the sailboat he is building and it's amazing. A work of art. You should check it out - https://sites.google.com/site/marazulles/pictures-exterior

    That is awesome.

    If it leaks, maybe he could use this:

    Yes. I was making a joke :)

    His boat looks awesome. It looks like he may actually know what he's doing!

    He's a former original Navy Seal, turned IBM engineer, turned Oregon Coast boat builder. Trippy dude.

    Definitely don't want to get into a fight with him. He may castrate you with a pencil and two rubber bands! They are that good!

    He doesn't need a pencil and two rubber bands. He's got one of these:

    Heh? Sailboat is driven by wind. Electrical systems need some juice. Not enough space on the thing for Solar Panels and no I don't want an Prop whirling on my deck like a Corsair about to depart just to get the juice.

    At every post, I told you I was against those "investments". I said if we were going to undertake them, then we should be a hell of a lot smarter. My position is that I don't want them. Stop pretending I do.

    Fuck, but you really are a moron on this issue. I apologize for giving you too much credit.

    What you call smarter means Obama tells them to make green things.

    I told you that already, so you are the one being obtuse, no?

    You constantly rail against government trying to pick winners, then you suggest they should be "smart" so they can profit off the winner they picked.
