What? First off, this has nothing to do with semantics. The meaning of the words or the title is not the issue here, it's the inclusion of information that isn't related. Second, the fact that I disagree with the title has nothing

Yes, it matters. It's poor practice for a journalist to include the race, sexual orientation, religion, etc... of someone if it has nothing to do with the story.

Again, what you are saying is the equivalent of "if you don't want your sink to overflow, make sure less is coming in than is coming out". It says nothing of value. If you just blindly go into a caloric deficit, without takin

You can make the centrals more efficient (to a point), but you are still burning hydrocarbons. And then you must apply the same electric efficiency as before. There are losses every time you convert the energy. By the way, "a growing p

Except your electricity has to come from somewhere. If you are in the US, it will most likely be from some kind of hydrocarbon. You are just hiding the pollution, not removing it.
