I've worked for a solar PV installation company for 20 years. At first, our clients were wealthy environmentalist types. We still get some of those, but a bigger portion of the pie is homeowners looking to protect against shaky grid service in our semi-rural area &/or stick it to greedy utilities.

Just led a big proposal on rural electrification centered on this theme. Motivate not on decarbonization but on resilience to extreme weather & power outages, on propane bill savings, on self sufficiency, on improved comfort and air quality. Decarb comes along for the ride.

I just watched the new PBS docu-series "Weathered: Earth's Extremes," & I suggest you do too! After interacting w/production team over past few years--a period exceptional global heat & extremes--I think finished product is just right for present moment. www.pbs.org/about/ab...

Incredibly enough, the recent dam removals and river restorations have revived the ecosystems almost as quickly. Challenges remain but it always makes sense to take action for biodiversity. bsky.app/profile/aarn...

The Lake Ladoga salmon parr populations on the Hiitolanjoki River have doubled from last year according to on site research. The last dam was removed recently and already some large salmon have been observed upstream for the first time in one hundred years. #Biodiversity 🐟 yle.fi/a/74-2010796...

Viimeinenkin Hiitolanjoen kolmesta vesivoimapadosta purettiin lokakuussa. Isojen lohien uskotaan kutevan tänä syksynä yläjuoksulle.

Apparently today is World Mental Health Day and honestly it feels like half the world is completely unhinged & the rest of us are just hanging on trying to stay remotely functional and minimally toxic to others so I don't really know what else to say about that.

I hope they give homeowners induction stoves (if they want them) vs other electric options. The former work so much better.

I did a write up of the new California law that greenlights 30 pilot projects for "neighborhood-scale electrification" Basically, CA utilities are going to start moving whole neighborhoods off gas. People will get free retrofits and appliances. gasoutlook.com/analysis/cal...

For a<br /> depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather<br /> Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation.

For storm information specific to your area<br /> outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by<br /> your national meteorological service.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK<br /> ----------------------<br /> At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Milton was<br /> located near latitude 25.8 North, longitude 84.3 West. Milton is<br /> moving toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h). A northeastward<br /> motion with some decrease in forward speed is expected through this<br /> evening. A turn toward the east-northeast and east is expected on<br /> Thursday and Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Milton<br /> will move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico today, make landfall<br /> along the west-central coast of Florida tonight, and move off the<br /> east coast of Florida over the western Atlantic Ocean on Thursday.<br /> <br /> Maximum sustained winds are near 145 mph (230 km/h) with higher<br /> gusts. Milton is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson<br /> Hurricane Wind Scale. Milton is expected to remain an extremely<br /> dangerous major hurricane when it reaches the west-central coast of<br /> Florida tonight, and remain at hurricane strength while it moves<br /> across the Florida peninsula through Thursday. Gradual weakening<br /> is forecast while Milton moves eastward over the western Atlantic,<br /> and it is likely to become an extratropical storm by early Friday.<br /> <br /> Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the<br /> center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles<br /> (280 km). A NOAA saildrone (SD-1083) located approximately 80 miles<br /> northeast of the center recently reported a sustained wind of 44 mph<br /> (71 km/h) with a gust of 57 mph (91 km/h).<br /> <br /> The minimum central pressure based on Air Force Reserve Hurricane <br /> Hunter data is 931 mb (27.50 inches).<br /> <br /> <br /> HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND<br /> ----------------------<br /> Key Messages for Milton can be found in the Tropical Cyclone<br /> Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC<br /> and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml<br /> <br /> STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the<br /> tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by<br /> rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could<br /> reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated<br /> areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...<br /> <br /> Anna Maria Island, FL to Boca Grande, FL...10-15 ft<br /> Anclote River, FL to Anna Maria Island, FL...8-12 ft<br /> Tampa Bay...8-12 ft<br /> Boca Grande, FL to Bonita Beach, FL...8-12 ft<br /> Charlotte Harbor...8-12 ft<br /> Bonita Beach, FL to Chokoloskee, FL...5-8 ft<br /> Aripeka, FL to Anclote River, FL...3-5 ft<br /> Chokoloskee, FL to Flamingo, FL...3-5 ft<br /> Sebastian Inlet, FL to Altamaha Sound, GA...3-5 ft<br /> Altamaha Sound, GA to Edisto Beach, SC...2-4 ft<br /> Yankeetown, FL to Aripeka, FL...2-4 ft<br /> Dry Tortugas...2-4 ft<br /> St. Johns River...2-4 ft<br /> <br /> The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to<br /> the south of the landfall location, where the surge will be<br /> accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding<br /> depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,<br /> and can vary greatly over short distances. For information<br /> specific to your area, please see products issued by your local<br /> National Weather Service forecast office.<br /> <br /> For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge<br /> inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm<br /> Surge Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge.<br /> <br /> RAINFALL: Rainfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches, with localized totals<br /> up to 18 inches, are expected across central to northern portions of<br /> the Florida Peninsula through Thursday. This rainfall brings the<br /> risk of catastrophic and life-threatening flash and urban flooding,<br /> along with moderate to major river flooding.<br /> <br /> For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with<br /> Hurricane Milton, please see the National Weather Service Storm<br /> Total Rainfall Graphic, available at<br /> hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk<br /> graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.<br /> <br /> WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning<br /> area across Florida beginning this evening through Thursday morning<br /> and are possible in the hurricane watch area on Thursday. Tropical<br /> storm conditions are expected to begin in the warning area on the<br /> west coast of Florida in a few hours, spreading across the peninsula<br /> and reaching the east coast tonight. Tropical storm conditions are<br /> expected to begin in the warning area along the Georgia coast on<br /> Thursday.<br /> <br /> Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the<br /> northwestern Bahamas on Thursday.<br /> <br /> Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area<br /> on the South Carolina coast on Thursday.<br /> <br /> TORNADOES: Several tornadoes are likely today and tonight across<br /> parts of central and southern Florida.<br /> <br /> SURF: Swells generated by Milton are expected to continue to affect<br /> much of the Gulf Coast and will increase along the southeastern U.S.<br /> coast during the next day or two. These swells are likely to cause<br /> life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

🌀 Oct 8 late night post: Major Hurricane Milton remains a very pretty circle (when seen from space). Oh, to be a satellite right now. The future of Milton remains largely the same as before, and we are expecting landfall as a large category 3 storm starting about midnight tomorrow night. 🧵
