Horrible to think about yet perfectly descriptive.
The Faucet as Power Switch: Water’s Hidden Energy Consumption - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...
Fascinating full article. - Stephen Mack
It's interesting to see both the hidden energy costs and also how much one town can differ from another depending on the water source. - John (bird whisperer)

That first one just cracks me up. Some of my first pictures on Flickr are of a junco at my parents house several years ago who used to just really, really hate my car mirrors. - Jennifer Dittrich
In addition to Oesterle, eight other high-profile CEOs published an open letter earlier this week, criticizing Governor Pence and demanding he revise the new statute. The letter touts a general corporate commitment to equal rights, but it fails to mention that the majority of CEOs who signed the missive lead companies whose employees and corporate... - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...
I've wondered how the corporations match up. Somewhat akin to the companies supporting ALEC making public declarations of supporting... pretty much everything that group was fighting against. Everyone is so focused on the blatantly discriminatory pizza lady, while companies complaining about the law directly or indirectly helped fund those who wrote the legislation. - Jennifer Dittrich
And, of course, that's the purpose of the wedge issues - to get people to ignore several pieces of policy they wouldn't agree with because THINK OF THE CHILDREN. - Jennifer Dittrich

Disappointed when I see a headline about "night owls" that isn't about actual owls.

So they're restricting almonds and beef? - Amit Patel
Yeah, that seems to be a problem with Brown's approach. Plus it's not clear how much it addresses agricultural usage. - John (bird whisperer)

Some responses to the Franzen climate essay from earlier in the week http://www.theguardian.com/environ... cc @familiarwldrnss
Wow, he's an idiot. - Heather
I thought his broad point about climate change distracting from the biodiversity crisis was reasonable.

Unfortunately that point is undermined by a bunch of annoying Franzenisms. - John (bird whisperer)
