#Prevention better than excuses: Cities need to require #BehindTheMeter #microgrids, as our inability to eliminate #fossilfuels now, increases the power of wind, to knock down PG&E’s #mismanaged wires, which should have been undergrounded before the #NewNormal age of mega fires in the west, that caused politicians to moan about an unreliable #grid. #ClimateCrisis #CascadingCrisis #WeKnowWhatToDo

5/6 #CascadingCrisis: People in the community are exhausted, because they have been the ones picking up the pieces after cascading crises. Many were still rebounding from last November’s storm, still haven’t had a warm meal, and now have to think about their furnaces flooding as upcoming warmer temperatures threaten to melt the mounds of snow outside their windows.

#RepublicansBackLosers: We know they won’t be excited about innovation and will protect the #CascadingCrisis status quo of violent ranchers, big agribusiness lobbies, and corrupt politicians with restrictions on #HungerBenefits, #NutritionPrograms, & land based #EmissionReductions. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-house-republican-farm-bill-approach-may-test-biden-hunger-climate-goals-2022-11-18/

#CascadingCrisis: #CaCPUC’s vote Dec 15 impacts both local #Resilience (#batteries plus #CommunitySolar- which the ISO’s opposed this year) needs as the #ISOs burn down the state with their distant transmission and #PSPS the power; and CA’s #emissions since ~40% of electricity is fossil fuels based in centralized water intensive generation- in the midst of a drought.
