windows in the main shaft, maybe a little balcony on the side partway up so I
could go up there and watch the scenery.

running. How dumb is it to spend the money building them and then not use the
energy that they can produce.

to do with conservation, to the point that now everything related to
conservation reminds people of crackpots. I'm all for legitimate ways to
conserve, ways that really make sense. Whenever I hear about a Prius, all I
can think about is all of the energy used to ship their batteries around the
world twice, and what the junk batteries may do to the environment in the
future.
