To catch and store.

I don’t know why Brian Canute questions the obvious. We all
know how “to catch and store energy”, we just won’t do it.
 
You catch and store energy by building quality, not crap. The
biggest and most well known example is the Great Pyramid in
Egypt. I have no idea what it cost in time and money, but three
thousand years later it’s still standing and making money for it’s
owners. To a lesser extent the same applies to quality cars, an
old Mercedes-Benz, Roll-Royce or Bentley not only still run,
but fetch more at sale than they cost!! In contrast todays
clothes,houses, cars etc are worn out before they are paid for!
 
If we reduced the speed of our production lines, took longer
and made a better quality product. We would have pride in
what we produced, would use less energy and less raw
materials. This in turn would reduce the impact on the worlds
environment. It is sad to think what we make or build today is
landfill tomorrow. In fact we are running out of holes to fill!!
 
Just think, a table, chair, building in fact any thing that lasts, is
in fact, storing energy.

Ps. I would love to know how many pairs of cheap runners are
      now landfill? Just think of the energy that went into making
      them.
