India's industrial sector is an economic engine, but it comes with high costs and dirty air. Smart policies can tap cheap solar to make electrifying industrial heat in India cheaper than most fossil fuel sources of heat.

Some people really like it, but not that many. Per the article:

Dividing votes (40) by location (215) gives the Cheesecake Factory—the restaurant that received the most total votes—a bestness rate of 0.19, or the equivalent of 19 votes per 100 restaurants.

While imperfect, this method at least does not penalize restaurants for failing to be national chains—though, for the purposes of the poll, I accept all nominations at face value.

Kind of amazing how cheap wind and solar are when they scale up to create periods when markets don't set prices based on fossil fuel prices.

If you have an electrical hot water heater, you can put it on a timer.

People who are already living low-energy lifestyles can't shift as much demand, but enough can to make it a big deal

They both certainly existed, though the latter was somewhat underground in the 1950s.

It's easy to find documentation of their positions on fluoridation; it's not so common to find evidence of environmental groups opposing it when there was a clear public health benefit.

Not to any meaningful degree in the US. It was the John Birch Society and KKK here.

Pretty much anything will harm you at too high a dose. Water included.
