Randy I am not against progress. Man has been progressing since we built the first fire in a cave. I am against the government trying to pick winners and losers. It is even worse when it is based on "feelings" rather than GOOD science. If you disagree with some modern clan PC view then your dismissed as an idiot. There is little to zero pier review anymore on many of the theories that the government uses to club us into submission to the PC view.
The climate change debate is a good example of this. Who knows if it is happening or not. All the science on both sides is gamed so much it is all worthless. So we are left with "FEELINGS' running the debate. Then these "FEELINGS" are the driving force in our laws and subsidies. The end result is rarely looked at anymore. It is more important to "feel good" about it over anything actually having positive results.
Recycling is the same way. The total cost to make new aluminum cans is way less than the cost to handle the returned ones. This is including energy and materials. Paper and card board are even worse. But we are expanding recycling.
Incinerating the garbage really has the best chance of working but since it is "dirty" we do not spend any money on trying to make it a clean efficient process. So we continue an terrible recycle program while burying mountains of garbage that will be around for centuries. This "feels" better so that is what we get.
We are heading down a slippery slope and the majority of the riders in the sled do not even think or see the wall ahead. It all is feeling good, great times.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
