Very typical summer weather pattern here, high 80s during the day, low 70s at night, PM thunderstorms, low humidity.

Well, part of that might be off a tad.

Keeping tens of thousands of hogs fat and happy takes a lot of electricity, but Reicks View Farms has found a way to reduce its monthly electric bill while improving the environment.

The Lawler, Iowa, hog farm, which has 50,000 breeding sows and ships 25,000 hogs to market each week, is now earning money from selling solar energy to MiEnergy Cooperative, an electric co-op based jointly in Cresco, Iowa, and Rushford, Minnesota.

The 664-kW Reicks View solar array has reduced the farm’s carbon footprint, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 333 tons. And the renewable power generated by the farm benefits the hogs, according to farm operators.

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/505792-the-progressive-climate-plan-is-heavy-on-symbols-and-burdens

There is scant evidence that the plan’s domestic net zero emissions goal by 2050 is economically feasible, let alone a pathway to greater prosperity with meaningful environmental benefit. In fact, leading researchers think we’re a good half century away from potentially zeroing emissions in the industrial sector, without considering the recent economic downturn. Electric utilities with zero carbon goals admit they don’t know how they’d meet 2050 targets – but they know it’d cost a bundle – and yet the progressive plan calls for decarbonization of the sector 10 years before that. In addition, the plan’s mandate for all light-duty vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035 will require more carrots (subsidies) and sticks (regulations) to get there.

Very typical summer weather here, highs around 90°F with thunderstorms building up around 5 PM.  Mon-Tue-Wed highs forecast in the low 80s because of rain, then back to the usual right around 90°F.

Back in the day, I knew it would be a hot one when I had to use the AC on the way to work at 7 AM.

Before the advent of the car industry, over 15,000 horses were left to rot on the streets of New York every year. Consequently, automobiles were seen as an environmentally friendly alternative. Provided by FactRetriever.com

Not to mention manure, which was calculated by someone to reach 30 feet in depth by 1920 in NYC.

Not to mention that the invention of kerosene--a petroleum distillate--saved the whales.

Or at least postponed their extinction until Norway, Japan, (Russia?) and native Alaskans get through with them.
