I live in a very rural area and I had a few minutes so I calculated it. I live at the end of a deadend road that is 0.9 miles off another very rural road. The road is chip sealed, which according to google in 2022 is $25,000 to $42,000 per

Its cheaper to shave peaks than almost anything. A distribution company can spend a normal month's worth of electricity in a few hours at system peaks. Unfortunately people aren't willing to be warm or cold for a bit at peaks to s

The issue is that you have to size the hardware for a multiple of the power draw you expect and the cost doesn't go down because people use less temporarily. You also have to do all the vegetation management and billing and it and bill

Because net metering is forcing the utility to purchase power at the retail rate. It doesn't make any sense. It isn't a profit margin issue. There is a massive infrastructure and expense to deliver wholesale power to an individual

I would guess that the number of people that act directly against their own self interest on a regular basis is a very high percentage of the population.

There should be jobs closer to homes in general. Building massive sprawl with no transportation isn't ideal either.

I definitely read it. I have never worked at a place where it mattered. Maybe it would be interesting to work at a place where it did.

As near as I can tell, I could write literally anything on a self review and it would make no difference to anyone in any way. My first item has been 'stop doing performance reviews' on the 'what can we do to help you' s

Going by my current experience of managing an ISP, the number of people that care at all about producing anything is almost zero. Out of thousands of accounts I can count on two hands the number of people that want anything outside of the s
