Don't correct that. Present a doctor's opinion that sex is determined at conception, when life begins, and things can go wrong. Sex begins at conception. Let the sex police deal with that.

@united.com Terrible management in Lexington today. Boarded a flight with visibly more than an inch of ice coating the plan. After sitting for an hour, de-icing started - 1,000 gallons later, we were de-planed. Why didn't your crew start de-icing this morning? Did someone just forget?

How officers used new ICE memo to forcefully enter a Minneapolis home Federal officers used an administrative warrant, signed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, instead of a judicial warrant authorized by a judge.

Maybe the Loyalists were right ...

If I read this correctly, the intensification (wind, precip) is relatively small in absolute terms but nonetheless statistically significant.

Having built a model of the Southeast bilateral energy market, I can say that this is moderately close, but there are a lot of transactions between the regions that would change the shadings if you viewed it from a load (vs generation) perspective.

We calculated numbers for this graph slightly differently than we did last year. It is CAGR for the specified years. Same underlying data but more consistency throughout the report.

Hi #energysky
We're releasing our report on utility load forecasts for 2030 next Tuesday, Nov 18. We start with utilities' load forecasts and there's more!

To get you ready, over on LinkedIn I'm running 3 quizzes:

Sorry @colinme.bsky.social just noticed this question. My use of ev.energy is definitely a hack and not a utility-supported implementation. Kentucky Utilities doesn't really seem to support anything. They just offer the rate and godspeed for those who attempt to use it.

Fair enough. I think that is also sometimes the case in the US, but it is rarely explicit (except through "economic development" tariffs) and more just how things have been done.

(c) industrial customers have effective legal and expert witness representation in rate cases, and utilities are pre-disposed to hear their arguments favorably because they know those customers individually - and they often lobby together on other issues
Hope that helps!

(b) practices that unreasonably reduce cost for primary (higher voltage) distribution connected customers, including use of "minimum system method," distinction between primary and secondary distribution costs, and sloppy bookkeeping for primary system transformers, service lines, and meters

I've tracked this for nearly 20 years off and on through various rate cases and other similar matters. Generally speaking, the worst-off customer class is either residential or small business. Industrial rates are lower because of:
