Hi Chip,
Read Sam Harris' excellent and thoughtful book, Letter to a Christian

I agree with Kirk -a constructive thought.
But in the interest of correctness Iwill point out two errors that folks
need to be aware of: (1) The statement, "every 100 lbs in your vehicle
increases your mpg by 2%...", should be, "...decreases mpg by 2%...".

On water consumption, some order of magnitude, back of an envelope,

Hi Hakan Joe,
Hakan, where do you find 5-7 kwm^-2 for solar incoming energy? That seems a
bit high - Joe's figure seems closer.
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics gives a solar constant of
1.34kwm^-2, which for N. Lat. 40deg corrects to a ground surface solar
