No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)

1. Bradley Byrne (R).  Proposed an amendment that would have cut all FY 2015 funding for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. 
2. Martha Roby (R).   Voted YES on opening Outer Continental Shelf to oil drilling and barring EPA from regulating greenhouse gases. Signed the No Climate Tax Pledge by Americans for Prosperity.
3. Mike Rogers (R).   League of Conservation scorecard: 2013: 0%.  Lifetime (2003-): 9%. 
4. Robert Aderholt (R).  Without bothering to fact-check, he uses a discredited petition rejecting climate change to make a point. 
5. Mo Brooke (R).  Climate Experts Testify that Climate Change Projections are Unreliable and Misleading.
6. Stephen Baucus (R).   League of Conservation scorecard: 2013: 0% Lifetime (1993- ): 8%

Brown County: Public Access Internet Computers (1999-2013) and Print Serial Subscriptions (1996-2013)

2010 population; 248,007

Public libraries in Brown County:

• Brown County Central Library
• Branches
• Ashwaubenon
• Denmark
• East (Green Bay)
• Kress Family (De Pere)
• Pulaski
• Southwest (Green Bay)
• Weyers-Hilliard (Howard)
• Wrightstown

This line-graph series is the result of my wondering if there's any pattern to the number of print serial subscriptions held by public libraries in relation to the increasing number of public access Internet computers provided by public libraries since 1999. (Earliest year for which Wisconsin statistics are available.)

Note: The 1996, 1997, 1998 Wisconsin public library annual reports asked for the following information: Libraries with Internet access. (Answered yes or no.) Libraries with electronic services. (Answered yes or no.) In 1999, public libraries reported the number of public access Internet computers for the first time in the annual report.
