Yeay Calgary! yeah, except I blew it. 8/ It is all true except the 180,000 refers to the commuter numbers, not the trains (thanks Ryan Johnston for prompting me to keep this straight, not that it takes away from the wonderfulness of the accomplishment). . . Perhaps alternative energy providers will now begin to identify utilities and services in their communities that want to out-source their energy requirements, instead of trying to find (technologically tricky and tangential) ways to jack in to the grid.
