Is that East or West Europe? /s

The only local impact for me, is that a couple neighbors insist on burning their trash in their stoves. Wood smoke isn’t bad, but plastic coated paper makes nasty smoke.

In a manger in a stable in Bethlehem. No wait, that didn’t turn out well.I would recommend they just stay where ever babies are kept before being born.

I already said I agree with the point that mass deployment of storage is essential, but mass deployment of generation is also essential. Yes, the cost of storage is still …

It’s going to be a great day when the Sunny Brae inversion doesn’t leave us choking on our neighbor’s woodsmoke!

A couple of PGE outages in the middle of winter and planning commisioners might burn their ordinances. Or fire up their diesel generators. Or pump up that fossil fuel furnace.So …

You must be a LoCo subscriber, committed to funding high art in local click bait journalism.

It’s a hard question because you don’t know where on the economic or social ladder you’ll land. I’d choose America or Western Europe for the probability of landing high up …

It’s not minuscule. Wood burning causes intense localized pollution hotspots that have been linked in many studies with very serious health harms, including premature deaths.

Do some actual research on the local impacts of wood stoves on air quality and health. It may be miniscule on a global scale, but it can be massive for …

An outbreak of common sense. Let’s hope it’s catching.

I am thrilled to see someone here finally speaking out in favor of clean air and against wood burning! Peter Lehman is 100% correct. Wood burning is hugely polluting and …

Don’t worry. It’s unlikely they will assemble the turbines in Humboldt meaning no jobs or tax base. They will be good union jobs in the port of Long Beach where …

Anyone who thinks wood stoves should be banned should be banned. Give me a break. Not everyone wants to be beholden to the man/PGE. Maybe he can’t run a saw …

You’re making my point. Total electrical energy demand is going up from all sorts of things. Production has to go up and there is no way to balance solar and …

Cheaper, and more likely to do what it’s asked for, instead of hiring while under a tight budget, for a person who’s more likely to be uppity and political about …

Finland or Sweden.

Yay! Welcome!

Wind and solar generation are both variable, but are to some degree complementary in terms of when the peaks and troughs occur. It is not strongly correlates nor anti-correlated, but …

Ugh, more AI slop art. We have too many artists in this county for you to be using ChatGPT.

Federal law expressly prohibits the agency from charging for search or rescue services. The Coast Guard provides these services free of charge—even for wealthy individuals or in cases of extreme …

How much does the helicopter ride cost and does the current cost of gas factor in?

I have mentioned this previously, it will be interesting to see the kWh cost numbers for this project. Because it’s more than likely solar plus storage will be be significantly …

Not directly, but building more solar instead of offshore wind as the OP suggested worsens the duck curve impact.In other words, it depends on if you’re referring to the duck …

We are so fortunate to have the Fabulous Coast Guard here. Thank you !!!

Freeze the budgetary squeeze, and hand over the keys to PG&E! Drill baby drill until all the oil is gone, and better make sure you fill up at Chevron!not a …

Thanks but no thanks.

Soon, even.

Great… Another moron in the system

Irrelevant. There have been many missteps in the creation of habitat by humans e.g., discarding tires in oceans. There is some question whether human-made structures are actually increasing populations overall. …
