@ericmbudd Sun Rhyno Lite 36H laced 3x FTW 🙂 in reply to ericmbudd 16:49:37, 2014-05-31
@ericmbudd this is why I like wheels where I don't really need all the spokes. in reply to ericmbudd 16:27:04, 2014-05-31
A table of young women talking themselves into polyamory. Sadly, one of them apparently has a "leaky aura". #OnlyInBoulder 09:47:23, 2014-05-31
Nest thermostat could kill the market for peaking power plants. Great for consumers. Scary for regulated utilities: http://t.co/KaKYW8C7GD 09:06:57, 2014-05-31
The response I most often get when talking to "normal" people about how utility regulation works is something like "But that's ridiculous." 18:46:47, 2014-05-30
I do like me a good ol' fashioned conspiracy every once in a while. Keeps things interesting, and helps maintain the delusions of grandeur. 17:39:44, 2014-05-30
RT @Noahpinion: Between 2000 and 2014, Saudi Arabia went from 6.3 children per woman to 2.17. http://t.co/HgGYVmf6OS 17:27:18, 2014-05-30
@schmangee Or is it just a random walk with a cliff nearby. in reply to schmangee 17:22:14, 2014-05-30
@ericmbudd Spend $9k/yr on car that gets 30mpg. Drive 15k miles. 500gal gas at $4/gal, less than 1/4 overall cost. So who cares? in reply to ericmbudd 10:37:43, 2014-05-30
@alexsteffen I am grateful for the time lapse eyes that working in astronomy, geology, space exploration and planetary science gave me. in reply to AlexSteffen 10:34:32, 2014-05-30
@ladamic Hey, are you going to be living in MI this fall? I'm planning to come to the @NASCO_Coops conference, and would love to say hi 🙂 10:21:52, 2014-05-30
@ericmbudd @streetsblognet @transitmiami Really? I've always been shocked at how *inelastic* demand for driving is, regardless of gas prices in reply to ericmbudd 10:20:27, 2014-05-30
@mikesalisbury78 And you can have this hashtag for free: #SolarRoadRage in reply to MikeSalisbury78 10:18:37, 2014-05-30
@mikesalisbury78 Please, the more characters the better. I would read 5000 words if you wrote them. in reply to MikeSalisbury78 10:18:02, 2014-05-30
@mitchellbyars Obviously not trial related, but gosh wouldn't it be nice if Boulder's cops were people wanted to (and could) live in Boulder in reply to mitchellbyars 10:15:53, 2014-05-30
@ericmbudd @streetsblogusa @nhtsagov Coincidentally, about the amount @CeresNews says we need to invest in renewables each year to avoid 2°C in reply to ericmbudd 10:14:17, 2014-05-30
@streetsblognet @transitmiami Ooh oh, or how about "Transit won't work because Miami will be inundated before the P3 financing is paid off" in reply to StreetsblogNet 10:10:54, 2014-05-30

At 14, I traded a 1.5hr rural school bus ride for an 11min bike ride. That's way better than electric school buses: http://t.co/Ji5t0omDBs 10:06:18, 2014-05-30
@mikesalisbury78 Also, will you please write a detailed and deliciously snarky takedown of the solar roads meme? So I don't have to? 😉 in reply to MikeSalisbury78 10:03:31, 2014-05-30
@mikesalisbury78 Even more millions available by reverting to a society where kids, uh, walk and bike to school. in reply to MikeSalisbury78 10:02:57, 2014-05-30
@garyridesbikes Seriously. Sustainability is not a luxury good. At its best it's far cheaper. Like building small… http://t.co/buFK9PBlNY in reply to GaryRidesBikes 10:02:02, 2014-05-30
There's a bunch of building happening in Boulder. Love it or hate it, come find out more on 6/11 6-8pm @ImpactHubBldr http://t.co/SmD0tkTnof 09:59:38, 2014-05-30

@ramez @alexsteffen Mmm, gas less than doubles its price at $80/ton. Still w/in historic price range. Still competitive for peaking/firming. in reply to ramez 00:33:59, 2014-05-30
@ramez @alexsteffen I suspect various industry "expectations" are shaped by prices they can deal with. Oil will be ok at $80/ton = $0.80/gal in reply to ramez 15:22:23, 2014-05-29
@10salamanders find ./ -type f | xargs grep 'that thing I lost in that file that time' in reply to 10salamanders 15:12:17, 2014-05-29
RT @BicycleLobby: Driverless cars will change everything about how Americans get really, really fat. 12:16:34, 2014-05-29
.@markudall Actually… that's not a reason; it's a tautology. Reason? Geological luck of the draw. And ridiculously low severance tax rates. in reply to MarkUdall 10:29:13, 2014-05-29
@csoghoian That is exactly who you should not be popular with. You must be doing a good job. in reply to csoghoian 09:14:57, 2014-05-29
@ericmbudd Co-opers on the other hand totally have this angle covered. in reply to ericmbudd 22:39:49, 2014-05-28
How much of this spatial distribution is due to Boulder's cash-in-lieu of affordable housing? http://t.co/TnKf1eb4N7 http://t.co/AsmEPauG6Q 22:33:00, 2014-05-28
@ericmbudd But will it mean the end of car-oriented streets? in reply to ericmbudd 22:04:19, 2014-05-28

How useful are renewables in hedging fuel price risk? @NREL: "Market structure choices are important". No kidding! http://t.co/PChw6HyokP 17:27:04, 2014-05-27
@trueanomalies I have no idea who wrote my dissertation. But I do know he had a big beard. http://t.co/uHHOoZH9S3 in reply to trueanomalies 09:34:52, 2014-05-27

@andrew_leach Round numbers are totally way more ominous. I mean, just look at all those sinister zeroes. And the way it evokes Thermopylae. in reply to andrew_leach 00:57:08, 2014-05-27
I love living in an ad-proof bubble. No billboards here. No TV. Ad-free internet radio. @AdblockPlus. And then you see some ads. And whoa. 23:30:02, 2014-05-26

We feed on old light, long buried. Energy collected by ancient plants. Zombie foods, for a zombie civilization. 22:51:33, 2014-05-26
Purposefully untrustworthy news meant to goad you into giving up your personal contact info to register your disgust: http://t.co/qH3qImAZR8 22:39:55, 2014-05-26
@ericmbudd thankfully, no. in reply to ericmbudd 18:08:35, 2014-05-26
Fueled by rage against stupid energy ideas and our zombie civilization, I actually passed people while riding up Flagstaff today. Amazing! 17:49:13, 2014-05-26

About the only thing our highways and the necessary renewable energy infrastructure have in common is the gross land area they occupy. 12:52:44, 2014-05-26
The fact that solar roads have crowd-funded $1.2M makes me despair for any kind of reasonable renewable energy discussion in the US. *sigh* 12:40:56, 2014-05-26
Glad to see ADU/OAU fixes in the "early wins" section of housing strategy. Sad to see no mention of cooperative housing. 10:23:06, 2014-05-26
The type of housing we can provide more of is traditionally "less attractive to families", but it doesn't have to be. Need more co-housing. 10:17:04, 2014-05-26
But half of in-commuters would like to live in a townhouse in Boulder. A third would be up for a duplex/triplex/4-plex. We can supply those. 09:54:36, 2014-05-26
Survey says: In commuters have slightly higher incomes than Boulder residents. Housing preferences often drive the choice to commute. 09:52:58, 2014-05-26

Utility bond ratings falling. Public refinancing/retirement of stranded carbon assets is an arbitrage opportunity: http://t.co/vdJkwaq4z5 09:34:52, 2014-05-26
US House GOP directs military to ignore climate reality. Funny, I never thought I'd hope for a military insurrection. http://t.co/Lmb5eqPW3S 09:24:59, 2014-05-26
@ericmbudd They must have been playing #CardsAgainstHumanity in reply to ericmbudd 09:19:10, 2014-05-26
@neil21 I was hoping for more energetic, positive visualization/exploration of actually existing human scale cities too. in reply to neil21 21:03:46, 2014-05-25
