This is a good thing, less light pollution. 💡

With the growth of electric cars and renewable energy, many cities will get priced out of street lighting, forcing them to extinguish many street lights.

This is a good thing, less light pollution. 💡

Most street lighting is only affordable now because utilities have such enormous need for spinning reserve to meet the morning ramp.

But if early morning energy prices surge with electric cars and no solar at night, cities could easily get priced out of the street lighting business except the minimum absolutely necessary.

Weather Update – August 21, 2021

|

The big story here is that Tropical Storm Henri is coming Sunday into Monday 🌀

It keeps tracking further west promising a very wet Sunday into Monday 💦 but then by later in the week into next weekend much cooler but sunny. 😎 Almost a bit too cool for the Potholers.

I might do what I did two weeks ago and take off Thursday and Friday, as it’s pretty slow around the office 🏢 although lately there have been a lot of meetings which are less fun especially over the Zoom.

Today.
