Rural Americans are going to idle their trucks to offset the green energy and then complain about gas prices.
29I wish I could understand that shit. Even now as I type this some asshole is idling their truck. This shit goes on all fucking day. I wish i could say it's only one offender but it's many. Does the noise make their dicks hard or something? I don't get it.
5Idling a truck for an hour uses far far less fuel than driving 50 miles just to go to the grocery store. The problem with rural America is that it's too spread out to ever be efficient

B b but he's not doing anything! (/s)
17So this is a press release, meant to be consumed by interns in a news room to stitch into a barely read story on a news site.
But reading between the lines, this is $7.3 billion going to improve the grid for a bunch of rural electricity cooperatives, which is pretty great. Moving the energy generated around is a big problem, especially when some weird hippie moves in and puts a ton of solar panels down hoping to sell energy back to the grid.
(It’s me. I’m the weird hippie. Hopefully, someday.)

25I know your trolling but...
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with one LED bulb that has earned the ENERGY STAR, we would save about $580 million in energy costs and prevent 7 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to those from about 690,000 cars.
