The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Solar Chile Cancelled Due to Lack of Sunshine

When you cook with solar it helps to use some fossil fuels to get things going until the sun gets warm  


The weather forecast says fog in the morning then clear skies.


The solar oven is not warming up fast.


Best check the recipe. It says four hours of sun needed (it does not mention how much fossil fuel is needed with no sun)


Time to make a decision. The new weather forecast says instead of clear skies now it may be cloudy and rain.


Time to let the chile cool off instead of polluting the atmosphere any more with CO2 and wait for some sunshine. This is a good lesson on why people need to develop patience when we start using solar to meet our energy needs. Instead of brown-outs there will be cloud-outs.
