The headline of the wind/solar article is a bit misleading. Wind and solar account for almost 5% of installed capacity, as opposed to generation.
Ah, good point. I can at least change my link wording.
Does anyone else remember when Lenox had a dozen “electric car only” parking spots back in the mid-90s? They went empty probably 99.8 percent of the time. I bet they’ll get more use now!
Why do you think? Won’t charging stations be a form of metered parking, unusual for Lenox with its acres of free parking?
Are the new lights at McCoy to be powered by solar or wind, or heaven forbid, that nasty nuclear /coal stuff?
They’re powered by kitten kisses.
And when I see you
kitten as a cat (ow)
Yeah as smitten as that (ow)
I can’t get that small
The way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
