Notably: Just this line from Michel Houellebecq, the (great, fantastic, horrible, repugnant: take your pick) French writer, from his Paris Review interview in 2010: “One thing I don’t share is this American obsession with large breasts. That, I must admit, leaves me cold. But a two-car garage?”

People often say that the English are very cold fish, very reserved, that they have a way of looking at things – even tragedy – with a sense of irony. There’s some truth in it; it’s pretty stupid of them, though. Humor won’t save you; it doesn’t really do anything at all. You can look at life ironically for years, maybe decades; there are people who seem to go through most of their lives seeing the funny side, but in the end, life always breaks your heart. Doesn’t matter how brave you are, how reserved, or how much you’ve developed a sense of humor, you still end up with your heart broken. That’s when you stop laughing. In the end there’s just the cold, the silence and the loneliness. In the end, there’s only death.
–From Michel Houellebecq’s The Elementary Particles (1998).

The latest EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) dropped today.
American solar power output in the second half of 2024 is expected to be 42% higher than second-half 2023 output. Wind power output is expected to rise by 6% year-to-year.
Electrical production from all sources rose 5% during the first half of 2024, compared to 2023 numbers, due to rising commercial demand and hotter than normal temperatures.

This one hit the note for me today…I was wearing a T-shirt that says Plastic Free with a turtle on it…as I cought myself at the grocery store using plastic bags. I felt so awful. What a hypocrite… To make things better I told myself, at least I am conscious and willing to do better. Time to ban plastic in Florida!!! Once and for all.
