Why Develop the Heartland Expressway with "Peak Oil' on the horizon?
Heartland Expressway - FAQsThe "Peak Oil" theory generally indicates a point when the world has reached its peak production of oil. This event does not mark the "end of oil", rather it marks a time when oil will likely become increasingly more expensive. Such an event will undoubtedly have a significant impact on travel and transport. Nobody is certain when this event will occur. Estimates range from now to 30 or more years into the future. The sooner the date, the more serious the problem.

Will telecommunications make the Heartland Expressway obsolete?
Heartland Expressway - FAQsModern telecommunication technologies provide an enormous economic opportunity for rural areas. These technologies have enabled many rural towns overcome logistical barriers to establish, expand and/or recruit a wide range of businesses unlikely to develop in a rural area just a decade ago.

What can I do if I develop "cracks" in my soles?
The Barefoot FAQSometimes, parts of your soles can become too thick and the callus can crack which is often painful. This generally happens around the edges of your heels. To prevent the cracks in the first place, file some of the callus with pumice from the edges only and use a greasy substance (e.g. olive oil) to keep the edges supple. Do it just after you trim your toenails; this is a good frequency. That's all the maintenance bare feet need!

What is "Peak Power"?
Barbetta: FAQUnderstanding this one isn't too bad. We've all seen a speaker cone moving back and forth while driven by an amplifier. When the cone is at the peak of its travel in one direction, it is being driven by a certain amount of peak power. When it passes through the halfway point on it's way to the opposite peak of travel, it is using no power at all. It is at zero power. Then, when it gets to the opposite peak of travel, it is at peak power again.
