China Moves To Wind Power

[via Green Power Takes Root in the Chinese Desert - NYTimes.com]

“This year China is on track to pass the United States as the world’s largest market for wind turbines — after doubling wind power capacity in each of the last four years. State-owned power companies are competing to see which can build solar plants fastest, though these projects are much smaller than the wind projects. And other green energy projects, like burning farm waste to generate electricity, are sprouting up.

This oasis town deep in the Gobi Desert along the famed Silk Road and the surrounding wilderness of beige sand dunes and vast gravel wastelands has become a center of China’s drive to lead the world in wind and solar energy.

A series of projects is under construction on the nearly lifeless plateau to the southeast of Dunhuang, including one of six immense wind power projects now being built around China, each with the capacity of more than 16 large coal-fired power plants.

Each of the six projects “totally dwarfs anything else, anywhere else in the world,” said Steve Sawyer, the secretary general of the Global Wind Energy Council, an industry group in Brussels.”

Submission for a book cover, used in the distributor’s catalog but not on the actual book. Map is hand drawn and basically fantastical.

My former roommate Tag Savage is a book designer. He blogs his work. It’s classy.

I love the phrase “Strange Harbors”.

The word Kundalini is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘Kundal’ meaning 			coiled up. It is the primordial dormant energy present in three-and-a-half, 			coils at the base of the spine in a triangular bone called the 			Sacrum.
The Latin name ‘Os Sacrum’ suggests that it is a holy 			or sacred part of the body. The ancient Greeks were aware of this 			and therefore they called it the ‘Hieron Osteon’, noting that 			it was the last bone to be destroyed when the body is burnt, and 			also attributed supernatural powers to it. Egyptians also held 			this bone to be very valuable and considered it the seat of special 			power.
In the West, Sacrum is symbolised by the sign of Aquarius and 			by the Holy Grail, container of the water of life.
The Kundalini, which is to nourish the tree of life within us, 			is coiled up like a serpent and therefore it has been called, 			‘The Serpent Power’. It has been described in great detail in 			the Upanishads.
Kundalini Yoga is supposed to be supreme in all 			the Yogas. Guru Vashistha asserted that Kundalini is the seat 			of absolute knowledge. The awareness of the presence of this primordial 			energy Kundalini within the human body was considered by the sages 			and saints to be the highest knowledge. The Kundalini and Chakras 			have been vividly described in Vedic and Tantric texts.
