All About: CSP - Concentrated Solar Power, cnn.com/ecosolutions
"CSP is attracting a list of high profile champions in the field of commerce, including venture capitalist Vinod Khosla. Khosla was one of the early backers of Google, Amazon and AOL and his latest venture is to invest in CSP, according to The Toronto Star. He favors CSP over "clean coal," or Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) produced coal, arguing that CSP plants are cheaper and quicker to build."

Projections
"We tend to assume others think, feel and react to the world the way we do. Psychologists call this tendency “projection”—we “project” our ideas and emotions onto others when we act as if others share them."
“Try to discover what it is you most dislike in others, what you most often criticize and condemn them for. A little elementary self-analysis may reveal that those qualities are hidden in the depths of your own mind and that in criticizing others in this way you are, in fact, unconsciously criticizing yourself.” (Bikshu Sangharakshita, Essence of Zen)
"When we recognize the places where we have a desire to develop, and begin to grow in those areas, an incredible thing happens: the world seems to grow with us. Others appear to take on the qualities we cultivate in ourselves."
From Are Your 'Projections' Limiting Your Success?

Explaination Problems
Decision Making can come from 2 parts of the brain, Conscious and Unconscious.
When it comes from the conscious part, theory, story, and explanation are logical, based on step by step analysis.
But many times, the snap judgment that comes from the adaptive unconscious part, "the secret locked door part of the brain", thin slicing experiences, explaination usually comes from assumption with no real facts and figures, an assumption made from previous life experience. (Survival Instinct?)
Why people don't really know what they want? Why thinking about it, they want one thing. And when doing it, they accept to want other thing. (Adaptation?)
Why is it just plain better to learn from seeing and hand on experiences? Ask any Pro to give verbal instruction, and it just doesn't feel right.
Sometimes, it is better to say "I don't know" than make up a plausible cases?
Based on my trying to understand of The Locked Door, 2. The Storytelling Problem (Blink, page 62)

Primed for Action
"The Frame of Mindset we are in before action" (Blink, page 53, very very good and true)
How do you set your frame of mind, ready for action?
How do you influences other frame of mind, to be ready for something...
After all, we are sheep in the herd... Unaware of our very own Sub Conscious (Frame of Mind), that is very easily influenced by the Environment and Surrounding.
Go on, lead the herd, simply with Awareness???

10 Practical Uses For Psychological Research in Everyday Life
10 Practical Uses For Psychological Research in Everyday Life
I like this one,
3. How to persuade others your opinion represents the whole group
If you want to convince others that your opinion is representative of the majority, then just repeat yourself. This surprising psychology study finds that if one person in a group repeats the same opinion three times, it has 90% of the effect of three different people in that group expressing the same opinion.
