Lightning strikes twice
Here's something to think about. A house gets hit by lighting on Tuesday, destroying the HVAC system, but everything else seems to be okay. Then, on Thursday, the attic goes on fire. Scary stuff, but it comes with a great lesson. Check the attic!

Go paint a mountain!
Hey, if it works on roofs it should work on mountains, right? The World Bank is funding an experiment in Peru to see if whitewashing mountains can slow glacial melt.

Here's a story about those new smart meters, which are supposed to help us all save electricity. Turns out they're not as smart as everyone thought they would be. Folks still need constant feedback to show what's in it for them. There's a good lesson here for anyone selling energy-saving equipment. Who does the explaining (and the reinforcing) after the installation?

It's a round world
If you've been sweltering in recent days, here's a story that will cool you off. My brain always twists a bit when I read these Australian stories and notice the date at the top of the story. July. Brrrrr!
