Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
A recent report by the International Energy Agency states that “Since 2010, the average amount of minerals needed for a new unit of power generation has increased by 50% as the share of renewables has risen;” shifting from a fuels-intensive to a material intensive energy system. All to bring wind and solar up to a 10% share of the world’s electricity and with no plans to expand the mining of these critical materials.
If voter suppression was real, as claimed by Democrats, why do recently released census figures show that turnout in 2020 reached a near-historic high for a presidential election, with 66.8% of voting-age citizens casting ballots—just0.9 percentage-points shy of the 1992 record. The share of Hispanics and Asians of voting age who cast ballots also hit new peaks. Black voting surpassed any presidential year except 2008 and 2012 when Barack Obama was on the ticket.
