So in the desert Spring was Summer, Summer was an open oven full of activated hair dryers aimed outward, and now Fall is also Summer. 

The thunder snow that is commonplace around here will be cool to see in the Winter. It is a rare weather phenomena elsewhere. I've never seen it before that I can recall.

Ain't gonna be any snow here. But, Spring is summer and Fall is summer.

Add a little water content in your oven and you've got Florida summer.

Forecasted high here in Phoenix today is 99, but if we do hit 100 we'll tie the record for most 100°+ days in a year at 143, so we got that going for us which is nice.

Phoenix already smashed the records for most 110°+ and 115°+ days this year, as well as most days with a low temp of 90°+ so that's also fun.

About the only time I don't like it around 100 is when I am officiating a football game. Otherwise give me 100.

apparently you don't have much humidity

Not much water either.

Plenty of water, we take if from everywhere else 

Small modular reactor startup NuScale Power has a new, unlikely ally after a tough couple of weeks in the press: President Donald Trump's Department of Energy.

After the small-scale western utility Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems had several small cities pull out of its planned pilot program with NuScale, the entire utility group started to grumble about the future. But on October 16, the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) approved a $1.4 billion grant to help offset the costs of test driving the new technology.

“The award, to be spread out over 10 years, is still subject to appropriations by Congress,” the Washington Examiner reports. “That could be manageable given that bipartisan majorities have supported NuScale over the years for its potential to prove the viability of small reactors, an emissions-free technology of a type that has never been deployed and expected to be safer and cheaper than traditional large nuclear projects that have struggled economically.”


To call nuclear energy “emissions-free” is a gentle kind of misleading, but it’s true that NuScale has led public imagination about the idea of small modular reactors. And with a design that’s essentially a “new and improved” version of the light water reactors that power every American nuclear power plant today, NuScale has had less regulatory red tape between its dreams and a soon-to-be-realized reality in its pilot projects in the western U.S.
