    I loved botany and going outside before, but I loved it even more when he became popular(reference). I haven't watched him for years because I don't want to miss any of the botany.…

    The same rare earths and quality steel could have been used on a water or vapor dynamo that runs 24/7 and doesn't have any additional harmful impact. And even if wind wasn't wastef…
