Trans healthcare saves lives. America's trans & nonbinary legislators are calling on the Biden Administration to oppose any attempt to ban puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, & surgery for young trans people, and to follow medical best practices as set out in WPATH.

With the universe mostly empty, and also it abhorring a vacuum, that feels like a lot of self-loathing. Could explain some of its destructive behaviour. We should give the universe all our empathy and let it know we love it just as it is. It is enough.

This 4th of July, take a little time to think about how the Left can try to reclaim patriotism from conservatives. Seems like the story of a country that cast off a king and fought a civil war to free the slaves is fertile ground given our present moment.

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

IDK kind of feels like we should be paying more attention to a prominent conservative think tank saying we're in the midst of a second american revolution that will remain bloodless as long as long as the left lets it be, then whether or not Biden should step down.

You can simplify a large chunk of RA planning to "when & how high is peak net load (load minus wind and solar)?". If loads will increase during that window of time (often ~4-8 PM), the utility needs to build more power plants. If loads increase at other times, supply is usually not a big deal.

Electrical engineer in the utility industry here, hi! You're talking about what we call "resource adequacy," and it's really nothing new. The energy transition does complicate RA planning, but lots of smart and experienced people are working very hard to make sure you don't have to worry about it!

I'm not trying to gotcha here, you have my respect. I'm guessing the answer is yes you feel similarly about privately-owned renewables, and obviously you aren't the NE legislators that set their laws up in this way that seems inconsistent to me. Just asking the Q for conversation's sake.

It wouldn't be very hard to convincingly make that argument, I'm sure - I imagine it would be a fairly similar case to why private developers aren't allowed to build thermal plants in NE. Do you feel the same about privately-developed renewables? Those are allowed in NE, including hybrids.

Yes, as long as the storage is behind the transformer that steps up voltage to >=60 kV.

I'm not seeing any public articles on this, but there's an interesting fight in Nebraska over allowing IPPs to build energy storage projects (currently disallowed by law). An interesting twist, to me, is that the utilities working to protect their monopoly rights here are public power entities. 🔌💡

Not a worrying thing for them to say just days after MISO's 2023 interconnection cluster was delayed by ~a month and the same day a good chunk of MISO's 2021 interconnection cluster was delayed by ~2.5 months. Not worrying at all... 🤔 🔌💡

Sometimes I feel about democracy the way folks in my replies talk about climate...if they aren't working on it directly, they feel powerless/hopeless. The only reason I feel decent about climate is because I work on it w other people who care. Guessing that might work for other important stuff too.

And/or, those same things for swing districts within your state! One big part of where we're at is Republican control of state legislatures, and while electing Biden is Extremely Important we also shouldn't lose sight of down-ballot races which are often Very Very Important!

I think a big one is that saying he'd accept the outcome would signal to his most "stochastic," shall we say, fans that they should accept the outcome too. The message he wants to send to them is "Stand back and stand by," not "Stand down."
