Here’s an article that will make my pro-nuclear group happy: an interview with Rachel Slaybaugh, giving an interview in preface to her talk at the SXSW Eco conference next week. There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of what she says here is true:

We spend almost one third of our adult lives at work, which is why workplace energy efficiency has a huge impact on our overall carbon footprint.
