Widening Highways Never Fixes Traffic. But Darnit, It Did in Texas

jlrgdsI wonder what people think of HWY52 expanding to 3 lanes in city. Personally, I love it. I think it has helped. I still remember how nasty it was when it was 55 mph and only 2 lanes.

Scaling up America's reliance on renewable energy poses problems. What do you do when the sun isn't shining, the wind isn't blowing, or the water dries up? The post Venezuela's Energy Crisis Is Proof Renewables Aren't Enough for the US appeared first on WIRED.
Venezuela’s Energy Crisis Is Proof Renewables Aren’t Enough for the US
by Nick Stockton
jlrgdsI understand the argument for a diversified portfolio of power. Probably never see the end of coal and other nonrenewables in our lifetime. I like the articles mention of supporting the economy, and the political issues crossing state lines and regulations.
Love the idea of a massive water pump/syphon to constantly power turbines, especially in times of drought.
Perhaps places like venuzuela, while extreme, declaring a 2 day work week, can teach us a lesson in forced conservation as well.

It’s Harder to Kill Off Gay Characters When They’re Trending
by Angela Watercutter
jlrgdsSuddenly there's affirmative action. Being Gay suddenly is/can be a plot armor, same with race. Yes it's a trope that the black guy dies in a horror flick. Not all tropes are bad or intentionally written as the trope. Wish the writers would just not listen to the fans and write as intended. Currently there's issues with certain fandom shippers and Arrow season 4, for example.

D.C. Regulators Approve Exelon's $7 Billion Takeover Of Pepco
by BeauHD
An anonymous reader quotes a report from WashingtonPost: District regulators approved a $6.8 billion merger between Pepco Holdings and Exelon on Wednesday, creating the largest publicly-held utility in the country. The merger means that Pepco will now be absorbed by a company with the largest number of nuclear reactors in the country and widespread operations throughout the mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and New England. In voting 2 to 1 to approve the deal, the D.C. Public Service Commission said it "was in the public interest," noting that it would deposit $72.8 million in a "customer investment fund," set aside $11.25 million for energy efficiency and conservation programs targeted toward low-income residents, and carve out $21.55 million for pilot projects such as modernizing the electric distribution grid. "These benefits, among others, would not be available to District ratepayers if the merger is not approved," the commission said in a statement.

jlrgdsEvil. 5 seconds? I guess I try too hard with my first sentence that I need to pause to figure out what and how I want to write. If I try to write without random pauses, I get rambly, runon sentences and force me to mentally need another Nth draft worth of cleanup and editing.
