Oh brother. Several European countries said their supply of natural gas from Russia had been cut or reduced over a payment dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Anyone read The Long Emergency? We are way too dependent on fossil fuels.

- Before you drink, bring your own cup06:46 AM CDT on Friday, August 14, 2009I left my local Starbucks recently and noticed the trash cans overflowing with disposable coffee cups. Customers clearly like their coffee to go, even if they are staying. I asked an employee how many people actually used reusable cups, and he told me, "Around here, lower than the national average – way lower. […]
