There's a program called ZeroWaste 2020 for recycling that hasn't gotten much attention, a shortage of train drivers because mass transit use is up, small cities initiating driving reductions by requiring entry stickers. Always something, and I know I'm forgetting the best ones. Even "solar balconies" for tower blocs.

I started puttering with some numbers a few weeks ago, figuring that coal journalists from London and NY would have a problem with TWh vs. mtons, and sure enough it looks like they jumped to conclusions. No wonder markets fail.

But then today I saw that some people who are much better and quicker with the numbers have been doing the same thing:

It's probably not ready for prime-time yet, but one to watch for when real numbers are available.
