I read about how Phoenix AZ is one of (if not the) fastest growing city in the US and feel like I am losing my mind.

I think you'll find that while those locations are bad, they don't compare to places in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Jordan. There are places easily 100x worse.

Far more fossil fuel is burned in Northern climates (needlessly!) for winter heating than is done for just living in the Southern climates, including A/C.

How does it rank in a list sorting states by growing solar power generation? If they'd be growing together, maybe it isn't so stupid?

  • Solar doesn't generate water in a desert far away from any sea to be desalinated.
