10:00am radar update: Already over 2” of rain in Santa Rosa, and over 1” in San Francisco! Less than a half-inch in Concord, Livermore and San Jose…but another surge of moisture is heading up from the south.

In this new report from me & @rhymeswithocean.bsky.social for @cplusc.bsky.social & @publicgrids.org, we argue the current electricity affordability crisis is caused by the rules of private ownership. To solve the crisis, we recommend banning shutoffs now and using many tools to expand public power!
Overcharged: The Rules Of The Electricity Affordability Crisis

Really bugs me that "abundance" is creating a heuristic whereby a policy is presumed good if it makes it easier to build something without any consideration of harms. With "harms" ridiculed as "everything bagel" liberalism that must be sacrificed to the development Gods.

This cam stayed in monochrome/infrared so no colors.. some of the Alert cameras that picked up color got tricked into day camera mode. #AuroraBorealis

Given that nearly all of Santa Cruz county was covered in dense fog except a few peaks sticking out like islands in the sky, these might be some of the only photos from last night’s aurora storm around here. #auroraborealis

This is what the Eagle Rock camera looks like now. Caught the Aurora only moments before it was eaten by the fog.

Fog and light pollution are the biggest obstacles to seeing the rare auroras in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Have to go pretty far west to get around the Silicon Valley light pollution , and the fog takes out the coastal spots; tonight’s fog took away nearly all the mountain views too.
