I've never seen as many solar structures or electric cars as in Silicon Valley.

As a matter of fact, I've never seen so many solar companies and electric car companies either.

So basically at every level.

(imho this is a purposefully inflammatory headline)

A thought I had just today is that I wonder if people who live in temperate climates are more bothered by the idea of climate change since they live in basically a continually ideal climate.

Here in the Midwest, it will get down to -20F in the winter, and break 100F in the summer, so dealing with extreme weather is just sort of a fact of life. Also ~1000 feet above sea level, so sea level rise is sort of a non-issue.

So maybe part of the trouble with getting people in the inland US to care about climate change is convincing them that other people's problems are going to become their problem.
