The French Revolution And Today’s Activist Movements
The French Revolution (French: Révolution française; 1789–1799), was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France that had a major impact on France and throughout the rest of Europe. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in three years. French society underwent an epic transformation, as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wing political groups, masses on the streets, and peasants in the countryside.[3] Old ideas about tradition and hierarchy – of monarchy, aristocracy, and religious authority – were abruptly overthrown by new Enlightenment principles of equality, citizenship and inalienable rights.
While not trying to incite violence, we are simply pointing to any noticeable similarities existing before the upheaval… So without the violence, how can the oppressed affect true lasting change?
What Do You Think?
The closet thing we currently have to this is “the occupy movement”, but they have very little support. They are saying all the right things, speaking of what everyone knows to be true but, since they are not selling-out to a political operative (none that I know of at least), they are not going anywhere. Washington and all its’ players have done an excellent job of monopolizing the system so that the average person does not stand a chance unless they come through one of them, and to do that you would basically have to “sell-out”, either yourself or someone else.
I think the full force of the 99% should wake-up and realize that unless you actually take a stand, you won’t get anything given from the power-elite.

For wind energy:The wind blows and it’s freeRisks:People start to bevleie that “renewable energy ” such as wind can solve the long term electric energy needs of the US and the world. The need for base load generation and consistent reliable peak load generation will always be needed ( well at least for a 100 years) renewable energy can not supply consistent reliable base or peak capabilities.
