The University of Wyoming has, apparently a Sustainability Club.
I have nothing against sustainability, although my views on it are probably a lot more informed by a long sense of history as well as agrarian sensibilities than most people's are. Be that as it may, I can't help but note the irony of this.
Laramie is cold and October is the start of the cold months. Maybe that emphasizes a certain type of solarness, if you will, but it's also the time when you begin to appreciate your furnace. And at 6:00 p.m., the sun is going down.
Additionally, while the Union Pacific depot in Laramie is an eventing location, it's also right next to the railyard.
Well. . . maybe that does make sense. Railroads are extremely efficient means of transportation and modern diesel trains are about the most efficient means of long hauls we have, by a long margin. Indeed, the Burlington Northern a couple of years ago made a push as advertising itself as a "green" means of transporting goods, and it wasn't really wrong.
