Change-from-within is a lovely fairy tale. There are maybe a few dozen engineers with enough outsized talent to get away with challenging the status quo. Anyone else will be fired and replaced by a ready and willing throng of recent grads e

Concrete structures are cool, but there are lots of issues. Insulation, water vapor / condensation, potential chemical reaction with other materials, difficulty of future modification ... Get a copy of A Pattern Language by Christopher

Your argument sounds a lot like, "if they buy apples at $1 and sell them at $0.95, they'll loose money" It is in fact possible to loan out money at a lower interest rate than a private bank while simultaneously collecting a h

It's a huge pet peeve of mine when the science part of this kind of edutainment media is either wrong, or (as in this case) dumbed down to the point of uselessness. The triangle diagram here is completely wrong, and yeah, it uses high-

What's funny is, you can armchair quarterback this all you want and it likely won't matter one bit. Toxic organizations gonna be toxic, and healthy organizations (probably) gonna be healthy. From outside, it's nearly impossib

Those cheap areas with no trees would need irrigation (fed by what?) and ridiculous tons of organic matter. You can’t just plant a tree in the desert and call it a day. The carbon market is a shell game and this is why.

That isn't quite true -- Raleigh (Wake county) is pretty reliably blue as are large parts of northeastern NC (which is about as rural as it gets). Also, a gentle reminder that square miles don't get to vote -- people do. Voter ID
