Turkmenistan isn’t big on tourism. They don’t grant tourist visas to anyone unless you have a guide, and they usually don’t grant visas for October, when their independence day is (as one travel agency in Ashgabat claimed: "a lot of foreign dignitaries come to honor us, and we need to have high security).

Energy efficiency really isn’t a concern there, as they are a major gas exporter and hugely subsidized gas is used to placate the public. Household utilities used to be free and every person/vehicle would have a generous quota of free gas, with over-quota gas still being extremely cheap (it was 6 cents per liter when I was there), though this is changing.
Geez, those tire fires are a bitch to contain.
Close…Bakersfield.
