Here in my town, when we were the world's leading producer of ... ahem ... "personal tissue" all of our beautiful downtown got their electricity from the hydro plant used to run the mill, and houses were heated with waste steam from the boilers fired with would chips.
But wait, perhaps we won't at least need heat in the winters of the future. What with global warming, and all, the Commons of NE towns may start to look like Mexican colonial towns, with palm trees and orchids growing round.
Make our new populations feel right to home. The Somalis can pick dates to their hearts' content, and the Mexicans can riot in familiar surroundings.
Bump Kenny!
