When we talk about climate change, we talk about rising sea levels, or changing weather patterns causing drought, or more air conditioning, but here's one I hadn't thought too much about: How about the fact that our infrastructure is based on a number of products that have been engineered to work in a fairly narrow temperature band. Like asphalt.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
