For years, there has been a push to find alternative energy sources that will replace the use of fossil fuels. However, there really has not been a lot of movement towards making the replacement permanently on a large scale.

They run around with their little machines and slap a label onto anything that’s not moving. I don’t go that far, and not everything needs a label.

You grab some form of breakfast. Sometimes it’s whatever you can throw together. Sometimes it’s something you prepared in advance.
