Amazes me that any boondocks bike ride cuts my net connection, but I can tweet all night on the interstate. Not evenly distributed, indeed. 21:24:28, 2014-11-06

Nebraska. My ancestors lived in sod houses here. They fled to California last time the dust storms came. Now California is dry as well. 17:58:17, 2014-11-06
Full moon rising over stabilized aeolian landforms along the Platte river. The dunes are sleeping. Waiting for their day to come. Soon. 17:01:25, 2014-11-06
36 hours of driving round trip to @NASCO_Coops Institute. 200kg of CO2 for each of the 5 of us. About a fifth the emissions of flying. 16:13:46, 2014-11-06

Passing ideas through others can be an information losing game of telephone. But with some folks, like @cmgosnell, ideas actually improve! 15:10:38, 2014-11-04
@sugarmags3 After our love of free parking, US regulated utility policy is about as Soviet as it gets. in reply to sugarmags3 09:37:28, 2014-11-04

TIL: I have about 5 minutes of patience for the guy with the bucket of gray paint on climate & energy issues, before resorting to profanity. 19:43:09, 2014-11-03
TIL: people really have a hard time absorbing reality of carbon budget constraints. Like, deer in headlights hard. 19:35:04, 2014-11-03
TIL: even amongst citizens concerned & involved in utility policy, stale narratives abound re: intermittency, costs, risks of inaction. 19:34:09, 2014-11-03
TIL: temporal, locational, and other attribute based electricity pricing is too complicated for normal people. Intermediaries required. 19:32:28, 2014-11-03
Radical transformations: Necessary. Possible. Elusive. 19:18:06, 2014-11-03
And today we’re going to design a brand new electric utility for Boulder. Should be interesting. Also, hopefully awesome. 08:24:20, 2014-11-03
Which is worse: Soviet expropriation of private homes for mandatory sharing, or #Boulder’s occupancy limits enforcing mandatory consumption? 00:26:59, 2014-11-03
@drgrist Eww, fennel. Gross. in reply to drgrist 00:23:22, 2014-11-03
Sometimes I wonder what #Boulder would get if we said: build whatever you want, but it has to meet #Passivhaus, and can’t have any parking. 00:18:05, 2014-11-03
