Interesting. I wonder if that might be due to other things (such as inflation and two ongoing international wars) crowding out climate change as a "very serious problem", rather than an actual change in their perception. That said, obviously we were in the middle of COVID in Sep 2021, so it's not like there wasn't anything going on lol...

Some people still wore masks and such, but everything was open, without government restrictions. Some businesses chose to remain closed or implement their own restrictions (masks, distancing).

We did not go to Chicago for Christmas.

Does anyone here have much faith this will work out, as in, become profitable?  I think they have a chance, but not 50-50.  The numbers don't really appeal to me unless something major shifts.
folks better buy a round trip ticket in LA
that way they can get home after the Casino boss empties their pockets

Texas goes big on solar + storage that can power 41,000+ homes | Electrek


When I see "can power" with the word "can", I get suspicious, realizing that probably reflects its maximum output.  A nuclear plant of couirse can operate at or near max power all the time, and one power reactor equals at more than ten of these "big" solar power installations.  

April 29, 2024 – Georgia Power declared today that Plant Vogtle Unit 4 has entered commercial operation and is now serving customers and the State of Georgia. The new unit, which can produce enough electricity to power an estimated 500,000 homes and businesses, will provide reliable, emissions-free energy to customers for at least 60 to 80 years. Vogtle Unit 3 entered commercial operation on July 31, 2023. (read more)

Aside from this new item, one can simply look at our current power sources in the US and trend lines and realize we're going to be dependent on fossil fuels for decades.  Maybe W&S and cut into that some, fine with me I guess, but we're still going to be highly dependent on fossils for a LONG time, barring some breakthrough or economic collapse.  The reality of it is that W&S MAY be able to provide for the additional power requirements without changing the base much at all, look at the coal segment.



It also seems very apparent that to make much of a real shift in this would require a MASSIVE nuclear investment.
