A peaceful protest is legal and fine with me but if you think you’re going to open a can of whip ass ya best bring your A game and be prepared for the consequences. Don’t be a little bitch when shtf.

I agree. And peaceful protests need to be in appropriately zoned areas for protesting. Don't commandeer a freaking college campus -- private property -- and expect to not be reprimanded. And, furthermore, don't violently riot/protest again when a judge deems your original protest, in an area not zoned for protesting, "unlawful." Bunch of little bitches crying over spilt milk, being needlessly violent over fuckall.

“For 27 out of 30 days in April – and the last 17 days straight – we have had stretches of time ranging between 15 minutes to 9 hours where the production of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, etc..) exceeded the demand on California’s main energy grid.

Then we exported the excess to other states.

As Scientific American put it, "It is impossible to understate how monumental this clean, renewable energy milestone is..."

The article continues, "California’s success and all of these plans indicate that fossil fuels with or without carbon capture, bioenergy and nuclear power are not needed to power future grids."



Maybe closer to reality than previously thought?

ALWAYS have a backup plan.
Our dams went critically low a few years ago (Tasmania exports masses of green hydro and wind energy to the mainland) and lo and behold they had to power up the gas generated power plants for a while to compensate.
There is a huge aluminium smelter here that uses HUGE amounts of electricity...they had to keep the power flowing to them.
I'm all for hydro and wind, keep it coming, lessening the dependence of fossil fuels, however, Murphy's Law and changing climate patterns, have a BACKUP PLAN.
And don't put wind farms in the migration path of critically endangered birds, DOH!

Brown outs coming soon. Just watch
 
There's been a push for smaller peaker plants for the last few decades, they're added as the power company sees fit. At least around here grid stability is excellent, in fact I'm not sure I've ever even seen a brown out.

We do that every day when the wind blows hard.

In CA, we are literally asked not to charge our cars or run AC to try and keep the grid up.
They will shut portions of the grid down for high winds to keep from having lines start fires.
Our grid is crap
 
Yeah i know I'm spoiled :lol: The Midwest and Illinois especially really understand infrastructure, the roads get torn up from the snow and temperature swings so that's a constant replacement cycle and emergency patch thing but our grid and gas infrastructure is second to none. We've also got a ton of industry around here so that helps too, they simply won't tolerate not having reliable energy sources. I called in a still standing broken power pole a few years ago that i noticed driving to work, by the time i was driving home it was guyed with a truck and was replaced the next day. They're welding pipeline all over town currently, it's driving me nuts seeing them everywhere and I'm driving my rig truck to my building trades job :lol: The apprentice I've been working with has his truck in the shop so I've been giving him a ride, so I've been explaining what they're doing and why so he learns even when he's coming and going lately.

Instead of making it read like “Renewable Energy” is powering the entire state show what the figures would be without fossil fuels contributing to the grid for the rubes.

Sad shit there. Odd how it's nearly always attractive women, who could have their pick of grown men. I wonder what the psychology is there.

Not sure, but I bet if you call up Sargent Olivia Benson, from the NYPD's Special Victims Unit, we could probably get some answers. If she's not available, I'm sure detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice T) is more than qualified to make an educated assessment on the psychology behind this phenomenon. We'll have to call on a day when he isn't busy pimping out -- er, um, managing? -- his stable of hoes or conducting important business/networking at the Player's Ball, an annual convention of pimps in Chicago, Illinois.

Also, apparently this particular school teacher DID have a grown man -- a fiancé -- who is reportedly "probably going to" call off their wedding, according to a close friend of this guy lol Can you imagine how you would feel if you caught your bride-to-be cheating on you with an 11 year old boy? Talk about an infuriating, emotionally confusing situation.
 
I love how something " alledgedly" can set y'all off.

Also, in my" innocent till proven guilty" stupid commie country, an article like that with full name and picture, ruining a potentially innocent life, because of "alledgedly",would kill the "news" source posting it.

Hopefully it won't disrupt Global Positioning Systems too badly. It could be a problem for anyone doing serious navigations, like for pilots, ship navigators, for military operations, etc. Also, geomagnetic storms have been known to damage, or outright ruin, satellites due to large buildups of static electricity that can eventually be discharged into sensitive computers/electronic hardware.

Typically, when the agencies and corporations that own satellites currently in orbit become aware of an impending solar storm, they will shut down the satellite until the storm has weakened/passed entirely in order to protect it. Obviously, this can create disruptions in a huge number of different important services which rely on satellites for accurate data and for a signal.

Anyways, the sun is angry and it's blasting plasma and magnetic fields from its corona AKA a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). It will be interesting to see what transpires. I wonder if I'll be able to see any aurora in Arizona. I'll have to look that up because I really don't know offhand. That would be pretty sweet. I have my camera ready for some long exposure astrophotography. Tonight is going to be cloudless, too.

EDIT: Apparently, Arizona "may be treated to a light show as well." Huzzah! =-D
