Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking....

Sand power a possibility
We need more people like Professor Earl Bardsley of Waikato University.
Not much detail about his plan, but in a nutshell it relates to converting sand to silicon and then using the silicon as a combustive for generating electricity.
There will be people laughing at him, particularly a large portion of the ingrates that read the NZ Herald and keep pushing for Nuclear Energy.
I however would like to shake his hand and congratulate him on thinking outside the square. Innovation requires imagination. Some of the wackiest ideas have led to great changes in society.
