Wall of Tolerance | Southern Poverty Law Center
Wall of Tolerance | Southern Poverty Law Center: from Robert F. Kennedy’s speech at Cape Town University in South Africa in 1966:
"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of these acts will be written the history of this generation. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

Regenerative braking in trains | ClimateTechWiki
Regenerative braking in trains | ClimateTechWiki: "Employing regenerative braking in trains can lead to substantial CO2 emission reductions, especially when applied to full stop service commuter trains (8 – 17%) and to very dense suburban network trains (~ 30%). Regenerative braking applied to freight trains can also lead to CO2 emission reductions, albeit considerably lower than for full stop service trains (~5%)." - But that could be improved.
