Humanity has nearly suffocated the globe with carbon dioxide, yet nuclear power plants that produce no such emissions are so mired in objections and obstruction that, despite renewed interest on every continent, it is unlikely another will be built in the United States.

WHAT DOES MIRED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mired

Contracted from the term micro reciprocal degree, the mired is a unit of measurement used to express color temperature. It is given by the formula: where M is the mired value desired, and T is the color temperature in kelvin. For convenience, decamireds are sometimes used, with each decamired equaling ten mireds. The SI unit is the reciprocal megakelvin, shortened to mirek, but this term has not gained traction. The use of the term mired dates back to Irwin G. Priest's observation in 1932 that the just noticeable difference between two illuminants is based on the difference of the reciprocals of their temperatures, rather than the difference in the temperatures themselves.

Sheryl WuDunn
People want to be happy, so they don't want to feel as though they're mired in this world of ugliness. I think that if people can recognize that you can actually help and change that ugliness, then you'll feel a lot better about yourself as well, and that does create a certain amount of happiness.
