models would suggest that.   however we have gotten hammered every time so I can see why they might go flood watch for the Philly area-SW CT yet again

That’s the earthquake that caused it all , was originally listed as 4.4 now 5.2. 

Other way around. The glacial collapse/landslide caused the seismic response.

Wiz seems confused.

Politics. Massachusetts in May had their first month ever where renewables supplied enough energy for the state.

Correction it was 56.9% not 100. Tweet I read fast. Apologies.

I know you're typically pretty good about providing links for things that you share on here - do you know where this info came from?

My understanding is that solar is a tiny fraction of total energy generation in New England with gas and nuclear making up ~80%.  This link, with the most up-to-date info pegs solar at ~4.3% and renewables in total at 13%: https://www.iso-ne.com/about/key-stats/resource-mix 

I'm inclined to think that Massachusetts as a whole would use more than 13% of all energy production in New England (assuming they used all the renewable generation alone).  I'd be curious to see how that math works out if it's accurate.  

I corrected the 100% in a later post. Here's the actual breakdown.
