HGTV

My mom is a big fan of shows where people go around looking for houses to buy. What struck me was how humongous the houses were and how, reliably, the wife would say it wasn’t big enough. She wants a bigger bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, family room, yard. One woman, for instance, said she wanted that Tara feeling. She said she wants to feel like Scarlet O’Hara.

Again I’m struck by the head-in-the-sand attitude to climate change. I blame fracking, which has given everyone a false sense of a free lunch. Energy is cheap! Use as much as you like! There will be no consequences!

Except there will. There already are. But you won’t learn about that on HGTV.
