I'm stuck here:
Luengo says mismanagement and aging infrastructure play a huge role in the current crisis, noting that the city loses 40% of its water supply due to leaks in the pipes.
How high is that number for most cities, I wonder? Let me google that for me.
They should just put Lake Texcoco back.
Forty percent is not uncommon for an old unmaintained system. For a modern system, 5% loss is the rigorous target.
Our water system loses 40% of its water supply to leaks according to some sources. We have a very bad water system.
Call it aquifer recharge and get that warm green feeling.
The "Carcinogenic Coast", I like to call it.
But no worries. Apparently Houston is "pivoting" to be a "hydrogen" "hub". So presumably you'll have pollution with powerful GHG harmless water vapor and hellishly corrosive green ammonia hydrogen instead.
8: The Biden administration actually put out some pretty decent hydrogen regs, which if finalized will make it a lot harder to launder fossil fuels into hydrogen and get tax credits for it.
They also finally banned asbestos for real.
They should require hydrogen to have at least to protons, it wouldn't be so volatile that way.
That is the Urban Cowboy side of Houston. When I lived there, taking the "inner" 610 loop over the Ship Channel was on my standard visitor tour. This is more out on the 2nd loop. There is 3rd loop that does not make it all the way around as the bay gets in the way.
When I was a kid (in Fort Worth) there were t-shirts around that said "Ski the Houston Ship Channel!" with a picture of a skeleton on water skis.
11/12: It would have been a god joke.
It's always been easy for me to forget that Houston is a major port.
Only after 1916 when they realized Corpus Christi worked better as a human shield.
I think you mean Galveston. And they realized it in 1900; it just took some time to finish it.
Wasn't That a Mighty Storm

Death came howling on the ocean
Death calls, you got to go
Ah, I missed the joke part. Thought it was somehow referring to the 6-12,000 dead in the Galveston hurricane.

So if your medically determined age is 10 years more than your actual age what does it mean?

I don't know what that is, but you should watch your blood pressure if they tell you it's a problem.
Is hydrogen (green, gray, laundered, whatever) anything more than petrochem bullshit? Since it is, fundamentally, you know, hydrogen. And if you aren't literally pumping H2 around you're pumping something hellacious like ammonia.
I can see some heavy industrial complexes where you produce H2 on site (although even there, you know, giant tanks of pressurized hydrogen) and maybe ammonia for shipping (with a quarter the energy density of HFO?) but beyond that it's just nutso.
You can make hydrogen by running electricity through salt water. I think you can get fish that way too.
The thing where they read your cell's tellurides or whatever? I don't know if that's Theranos-light or real.
Hydrogen is mostly a scam, yes. There just aren't a lot of applications for which it is a better fit than another available option.
Let me tell you about that.
23: I never saw Interstellar, but isn't that what happens in that movie?
No. That was just your standard relativistic time dilation.
So you know AQI measurements are ubiquitous in the PRC? That happened because US embassy Beijing started tweeting AQI for its employees and the CCP got embarrassed enough to do something. In conclusion, the US should open an embassy in Houston.
If you have an Apple phone you get the air quality with the weather.
the Texas air monitoring network is one of the largest in the country, with 228 air monitoring stations across the state, including about 47 in the Houston area. TCEQ said in an email that air monitoring stations are strategically placed across the state to assess air quality. Four of those, including the one in Cloverleaf, are owned by Houston Regional Monitoring (HRM), a network of 30 petrochemical companies.
While trying to figure out what I meant to say when I said "Telluride", I stumbled into the Ramsey stuff. Now that I learn the parents' lawyer went on to work for Trump's election theft effort, I wonder if they didn't do it.
Don't thank me until I've calculated your age.
I wonder if the water crunch will hurt Scheinbaum. What her constituents not having anything to drink before the election.
Possibly of interest to someone. "A new visual investigation, led by Lighthouse Reports, uncovers the truth about the deadly Ciudad Juárez migrant detention fire."
