That’s why you hedge though. Quite a lot of exposure should already be handled well before we get to this point in the season. Ag commodities can be brutal and few people know that more personally than farmers.

A lot of ERCOT heat these days. I work in energy and it’s both intriguing (because some things move faster there than other markets so there are more opportunities to advocate on the regulatory side of things) and just a mess (over RUC-ing

This is related to why I bought a concept2 erg recently. Hurt my achilles and needed to switch to a low impact exercise, which I prefer to be able to do at home rather than going somewhere else (so swimming is out). Looked at Peloton, but i

Ah, I meant in New jersey specifically as its climate feels like more of an outlier to me in that list.

Perhaps similar, the US doesn't harvest a ton of eggplants, but of eggplant producing states New Jersey is #1 in terms of acreage. About 20% more acres than the #2 state of California. I've idly wondered in the past if it's a

Not quite. For a power plant the rate is ~0.059 tons CO2 per MMBtu of natural gas, coal is ~0.105 tons per MMBtu (different for bit, sub, etc.), and oil is around ~0.081 (although, like coal, it varies). Now, in a power plant context, moder

That's a bad response when any comment could easily link to a relevant white paper. GP, MIT+INL had a nice report in 2006[1] covering a lot about that and the resource potential. The GeoVision[2] report and data from DOE is also a good
