47/39, time to close the pool

this is just more more distraction, and no one here is disagreeing that fossil fuels have contributed to human progress, that's just more distraction please stay on topic: the continued use of fossil fuels is progressively impacting climate and ecosystems and accelerating the rate of climate change, and what we are going to do about it (hint on the second part: not much)

this is part of the frustration - focusing on minutia to distract from the elephant

54/51 with showers around, looks like a heavier band heading toward the valley

many people don't believe this is an existential crisis for long term human civilization because so far, many people have been able to adapt to the changes that they have experienced, so far it has already become an existential crisis for some people living in and around Miami as king tides increasingly impact low lying neighborhoods; people can't sell their homes because the value is greatly diminished due the reoccurring sunny day flooding, which is progressively getting worse. for a person who lives in such a neighborhood and needs to sell and leave, it IS an existential crisis. same goes for millions who live on only feet above sea level in southeast Asia, which have substantially less means that the home owner getting flooded out in southern Florida has we've been discussing AGW/climate change and it's on-going effects since the 1970s. it's well understood. because the facts and basis for it are so widely accepted, there is a general frustration with people who won't accept the facts, or modify their behaviors accordingly

I think the line is "she shaved her legs then he was a she"

Hot and steamy 57F

and, if you have a private well, good luck flushing your toilet

lol at wall street journal opinion articles; everyone has opinions, but just because someone typed their opinion, and you believe it, does not make it true here are some facts: link and link and if you want to look at "actual" numbers, you need to include operating costs including fuel inputs over the life of the facility, not just cost to build; and for nuclear, you need to include the cost of long term storage and disposal of radioactive components from the plant operations if you want try again and this time include operational costs to support your opinion, please do so

53/53 currently with misery mist in the air at the office in Burlington

false statement the true drivers of increased energy and electricity costs are increasing costs to maintain and expand an aging grid, the increasing price for fossil fuels, the increase in energy demand, and a general utility regulatory structure that prioritizes investment in massive power plants that have long capital pay-back periods and let's not forget about the abysmally expensive energy policy choices implemented by the current administration

the hospitality of the Vermont folks is superior to the northern Connecticut hills, that's why people go to Vermont and Connecticut's hill towns look like ass compared to the majestic mountains of northern Vermont 46/46

the difference is one is wishcasting, the other is forecasting 53/47 with clear sunny skies

I guess it's possible to believe that, if you've bought into all the brown lobby talking points perhaps you should consider looking under the hood more at the whole story

unskilled labor in the US is not expensive and our environmental and human rights protections have been substantially degraded over the past 2 years under a similarly tyrannical regime the petroleum business receives vastly bigger subsidies than renewables no it's not, i live in a house that has a solar energy system on the roof that produces more electricity on average than I use wind farms can be built near the coast; the coasts are where population is most concentrated
