Yes, that's about all you can buy these days anyway. I bought the cleanest thing I could get, a small Lopi fireplace insert. Couldn't be more...
"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?" J.M. Keynes.
My favorite statistic is how many lbs of coal an old-fashioned incandescent 100 watt bulb will consume in its lifetime. Answer: about 150 lbs...
You can calculate that directly and still come up with a trainload a day. It takes about a pound of coal to produce a KWH of electricity, on...
Golly. That's angrier than I've ever seen you here before. But you hit most of the high points as far as I'm concerned. Frugality is declasse'....
And, FWIW, I think that a requirement of total replacement of fossil fuels is costly and unnecessary. It's a pure approach but purity has its...
It's not what you think. Solar panel output is based on "peak hours" of sunlight, in effect, hours with the sun directly overhead. They rate the...
Ditto. Apparently he didn't read the recent Consumer Reports issue where they said the Prius is the cheapest family car to own.
Yeah, I'd go with that. 1) I get some comfort that I made a good decision. 2) I think some other people may have made decisions that they...

As long as we're wandering off topic, would you mind saying a few words about the drought? I understand that you've now got adequate rainfall in...
Oh my goodness, Lutz did say that, and was quoted in Business Week: The road to higher auto-fuel economy - BusinessWeek.com - MSNBC.com " ......
Holy @#, they quote Lutz saying $48K MSRP for the volt. For a car the size of a Cobalt. Are they out of their minds? On the other hand, much...
The first one. The one you cited. In your original post, you cited "Limits to Growth" as predicting doomsday by 2000. I quoted exactly what the...
