I know. Go out and enjoy the day. Enjoy your family. I just wanted to post what I had.
US Senate rejected the effort to stop or limit the EPA's regulation of GHG emissions. 1 effort from the R's, 3 from D's. EPA declared in late '09 that GHGs are a threat to our health. We knew that back in the '60's. Our elders may have known it before that.
N. Sea drilling activity off 25% in 1Q11. A proposed higher tax. So, the industry crying out? Wah. Hopefully not a lack of drilling prospects.
Investment case for smart grid: $476B cost, $2T in benefits. That sounds like higher power bills. Possibly savings, though. I guess we shall see.
And, finally, indoor marijuana cultivation in US is a $5B/yr power bill. 7 large power plants worth. 20TWh/yr. But I must say it screws with the mind. And diminishes willpower. Appropriate for Friday I thought.
