So it can be reembered. I just ran across an article in Jackie clays column, about preserving food from an ancestor by another person...called "dry heat" canning.It was apparently done for meat...by her grand-mothers generation, she's an older woman now. Back when they often time didn't have refrigeration because they often times didn't have electricity...depending on where they lived. It comes in handy these days also, not only to keep the utility prices down, but should there ever be an Solar Flare large enough to knock out the grid, people would need to know how to do this. I just read an article about an man that has invented "Solar Panel Highways"...that pick up the sun and distribute it into the houses on each side of the street and as he mentioned....there's long stretches of roadway across the country that gets sun continually...and could it literally supply an almost free energy to us all?... think how much that would save Shopping Malls in electicity and air-conditioning expenses alone...or high rise office buildings...or even heating costs for the retired. |
