American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber and Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California.
In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...
Great White Men... In The Past, Almost Everything that Has Been Accomplished Has Been Accomplished by White Men... But In The Future... We Shall See...
If you don't recognize any of these people, just Google them... and be glad that Great White Men invented Google, The Internet, Computers and Electricity.
However... Some White Men have been astonishingly Evil. Adolph Hitler, Donald Trump, Charles Manson, George W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Joseph Stalin, Jeffrey Dahmer, Mitch McConnell, Steve Mnuchin, Charles and David Koch, Kenneth Lay, Jeffrey Schilling, Charles Hurwitz, Steve Bannon, Chuck Grassley, Newt Gingrich, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ted Kaczynski and Timothy McVey... to name a few...
List of Great White Men:
Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla, Thomas Watson [IBM], Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Gordon Moore [INTEL], Hewlett, Packard, Alexander Graham Bell, Marconi, Harley, Davidson, George Westinghouse, Goodyear, Firestone, Henry Ford, Lockheed, Boeing, and it goes on and on and on...

Generate Electricity and Clean Drinking Water AT THE SAME TIME. A Solar Powered Desalinization Plant Would Convert Seawater into Energy, Pure H2O and NaCl.
We ought to build a giant solar power desalinization plant in Southern California. Convert Seawater into drinking water, salt and electricity. It would use solar reflectors to boil seawater and create steam. That steam would be used to drive turbines and create electricity. When the water cools it condenses into pure H2O and salt. The water would be sold to people for drinking, washing, watering livestock and watering plants. The salt could be sold or returned to the ocean if there are not enough customers... Camp Pendleton near San Diego would be an ideal location. Southern California is in need of water. There is a current proposal to use pipelines to move fresh water from the Sacramento River to be used by farmers and residents in SoCal. An alternative would be to just get the water from the ocean... We should also stop watering lawns in California. It's a cultural norm that is not practical in a state that is suffering drought. What if it became fashionable to have rock gardens or cactus? That's what they do in Arizona...
