been this worried for the wildlands since James Watt.

Watt and Boulton built steam pumps to drain mines. You must be thinking of
someone else. If you knew them as you claim, it's amazing at your age you
have the strength to lift a paddle.


Right: Watts, not Watt.

James Watts was Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Interior. [snip]


Q. How much energy does it take to destroy a forest?

Rivermyron, I think if you google up "Interior Secretary James Watt",
you will discover that you were right the first time. It's "James
Watt". William is to be forgiven, since he's a furriner. If I were a
furriner, I don't think I'd want to squander much of my valuable time
following American domestic political issues, though I'd be worried
about whether the US President was going to find some pretext to
invide MY country next.

A: One Watt.
