The Learning Curve at Work: Solar Energy Has Reached the "Tipping Point" for Wider Application Simply Because It is a Smart, Economic Choice Today
Overview As a strategic management professor and consultant, I have had the opportunity to be in “the room where it happens” on many occasions. Through the years, I have been in the conference rooms and board meetings where corporate leaders have worked through complex issues to make decisions that were far from routine. And on a few occasions, I can safely say that I have been a part of “make or break”-level decisions, strategic choices that could well determine the future of the company and all of the people that depend on it for their livelihoods.

An Archimedes Screw
I am currently holidaying in Settle and have places that I enjoy visiting, including walking down to the River Ribble to the weir before the bridge that links Settle to Giggleswick. One of the interesting things that is located there is a water turbine that uses an Archimedes Screw, The basic principle of the Archimedes Screw is to raise water from one level to another ,often seen in irrigation systems and much more efficient than carrying the water in buckets.

Smoke in Our Air and Fire in Our Life
The only thing that I can see around me are hazy trees and roads. The air quality has been getting worse and worse the last few days. Normally, I would be able to see between the Oregon to Washington state line. I would be able to watch the rolling hills and mountains in Washington state and the ships passing by on the Columbia River. None of those things can be seen now. One could imagine a thick fog, but it is not. I would be able to breathe through fog. Even the naturally vibrant evergreen trees seem to be blurred and out of focus. Stepping outside the front porch and driving to work yesterday morning I felt this overwhelming doom. The environment looked very sad. I could not see the sun, there was just a dim light through the smoke and a faint circle of light instead of the glorious glowing rays. I was wondering if our Earth is trying to tell us something. It feels like a fight for our existence. We are dealing with an uncontrolled pandemic, raging fires, unhealthy and hazardous air.
