But its long-term impact is just the opposite...efficiency fails to curb demand because it lets more people do more, and do it faster-and more/more/faster invariably swamps all the efficiency gains.” PeopleMayLongHandsEnergyTermFailingDemandGainsTasksOppositesImpactFasterLong TermEfficiencyShort TermCurbSwampsTask At Hand Author:Peter W.

“When they started to drain a swamp where birds and fish had lived, for a new housing development down the road from his apartment, Steven watched the protests and the preparations with interest. The bird people were furious, the developers unmovable, and Steven was filled with relief that the fight wasn't his. Nothing here was his... He thought there should have been something sad about how little he was tied up with the place, but instead it felt like freedom. He was free because it wasn't his water here, and they weren't his fish.” PeopleShouldLittlesHas BeensFightingFeltInterestWaterDevelopmentBirdShould HaveFilledFishesPreparationReliefProtestTiedApartmentHousingShould Have BeenDrainsFuriousDown The RoadSwampsDevelopersTied Up Author:Maile Meloy

“The novel is a formidable mass, and it is so amorphous - no mountain in it to climb, no Parnassus or Helicon, not even a Pisgah. It is most distinctly one of the moister areas of literature - irrigated by a hundred rills and occasionally degenerating into a swamp. I do not wonder that the poets despise it, though they sometimes find themselves in it by accident. And I am not surprised at the annoyance of the historians when by accident it finds itself among them.” WritingSometimesLiteratureWonderNovelPoetMountainMassHundredAreasAccidentsClimbsHistorianDespiseFormidableSwampsAnnoyance Author:E.
