This generalization doesn't help either of us. Painting entire communities as resentful and ungrateful shuts down the very discussion you want more of. Good people in rural areas are fighting the good fights; only to get lumped in and written off. We need each other. That's worth talking about.

unrelated to an excellent blogpost - have to looked to enable RSS on your beehiiv blog?

"For a state-by-state analysis of wind and solar regulation across America, click here." there is no link 😥

The source data would be interesting. Out West, whether National Forests/Parks/BLM/etc.. are counted or not..

Perhaps a link back to a bluesky post or could they embed a bluesky thread? e.g. bsky.app/profile/brit...

Here's one agent github.com/wshobson/age...

Farmland Already Powers America — Add Solar Too | Arevon 30 million acres of farmland already produce energy through ethanol. Adding solar boosts farm income, saves resources, and strengthens farms — without replacing farming.

I hope there are future requirements that cargo craft make good human craft - get more test cycles before human ratings. HTV-X, Dream Chaser, etc... as human craft would be great some day.

I kid though, these are the things I wish I knew.

Neat - relatively close to my napkin-math estimates. I would say it's on the low side as I run a lower efficiency furnace and slightly lower set temp.

Ooh.. Look at HDN/KHDN or SBS/KSBS airports.

EGE or TEX would also be good.
