What are they thinking
See that, up there under the ridge? That's an array of 48 photovoltaic panels, each rated at 220 watts. You think that might supply enough power to keep a camp host from wandering off to find a place to plug in an air conditioner? Bet it would.

Politics and the English Language
....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
