Summer is upon us and the US is feeling the heat!
In southern California we are very thankful at times like these- just another day at 75 degrees and sunny. As we joke- the easiest market for a weatherman/woman in the country.
Something we often take for granted here are the nice lush greenery of gardens and golf courses. Technically, SoCal is pretty arid and we water the heck out of it. It's beautiful, no doubt. And, this brings me to my fun little fact for the day.
The California Energy Commission finds that water-related energy use (transporting water around the state, treating water and heating/cooling water) consumes about 19% of the state's electricity. (source: here)
Wowza. Water and energy- hand in hand. Water rights in the State of California is a whole other interesting issue. That is for another post my friends.
Hope you're staying cool!
cheers,
