Life Without Electricity – Curse Or Blessing?

On November 2, 2011, in Articles, Wilfried F. Voss, by Wilfried F. Voss

As my mother-in-law always explains, if you have a headache, you take a Tylenol. Why should you let nature take its course and deal with the pain if you have a better choice? So, again, why deal with the pain of not having electricity?

What Is A Nuclear Meltdown?

On March 13, 2011, in Environmental Protection, Nuclear Meltdown, Technology, by Wilfried F. Voss

A meltdown occurs when a severe failure of a nuclear power plant system prevents proper cooling of the reactor core, to the extent that the nuclear fuel assemblies overheat and melt. A meltdown is considered very serious because of the potential that radioactive materials could be released into the environment. A core meltdown will also render the reactor unstable until it is repaired. The scrapping and disposal of the reactor core will incur substantial costs for the operator.

75 Things Every New Englander Should Do

On September 15, 2010, in Life in New England, Lifestyle, by Wilfried F. Voss

Living in the heart of New England, without being a native New Englander, comes with a number of surprises, including some cultural clashes. In this case it doesn’t matter whether you came from Europe (like yours truly) or from California. I never imagined I would live in an American equivalent of Leonard Wibberly’s Duchy of Grand Fenwick, or even that a Chevy Chase movie like Funny Farm was not based on mere fantasy, but careful observation. Don’t get me wrong. I am thrilled to live here, and I am looking forward to all future twists and turns that will change my life to resemble that of the people of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.

The CAVE People Of Greenfield And Their Politburo

On September 10, 2010, in Greenfield, MA, Politics in Greenfield, Massachusetts, The C.A.V.E. people of Greenfield, Massachusetts, by Wilfried F. Voss

We are now able to identify the C.A.V.E. people (C.A.V.E. = Citizens Against Virtually Everything) of Greenfield, Massachusetts. The C.A.V.E. people are a very aggressive minority of the population, thriving to preserve their established lifestyle. The term ‘politburo’ comes to mind due to the methods they use to reach their goal, which include harassment, distribution of falsified information, and turning a blind eye toward the low-income majority.

Air-Conditioners That Run When Nobody’s Home

On August 16, 2010, in Environmental Protection, by Wilfried F. Voss

This sweltering summer, the most coveted New York real estate amenity is two little words that in other times can go unnoticed: “utilities included.” Tenants can blast their air-conditioners all summer long without paying a dollar extra.

The CAVE People of Massachusetts And The Wind Turbine Issue

On June 25, 2010, in Greenfield, MA, The C.A.V.E. people of Greenfield, Massachusetts, by Wilfried F. Voss

I vividly remember my last visit to Germany, especially the three hour car ride from the Frankfurt airport to Hannover, my final destination. On a stretch of roughly 200 miles I started counting the wind turbines along the Autobahn. I lost count at around 65 – It’s not easy counting at a speed of 100+ miles per hour (with a car that makes roughly 40 miles to the gallon).
