While other blogs are fighting for four-day work weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about maximizing my commitment to my career (current job and future).

San Francisco alone consumes 850 continuous megawatts of electricity during the day. How much is that? The two supersized solar arrays planned for 2013 won't be enough to run SF — they'll produce 800 megawatts total. Gavin Newsom's pet project, the tidal power generator, will only piddle out 55 megawatts — one-fifteenth of the city's needs.
