PG&E touting their energy mix. I think they get to this because of some good & average hydro years, easier summer in 2023, and their renewable and storage purchases. We will see how 2024 pans out. #Decarbonization #Renewables #RPS #GHG

Good read about the fixed rates that the #CPUC will be adopting -- mimicking #SMUD 's fixed monthly charge. Also discusses how utility rates have been increased for things that have little to do with energy delivery.

Hey #wx people—recommendations for PWS? Looks like it may be time to replace the 20+ yo Davis Vantage Pro2. It’s running through batteries very quickly—probably a capacitor gone bad—but the housing is weathered too. Davis now says they don’t have parts for it. (And did Davis get bought out?)

I’d like something with solar sensors in addition to the usual, and a means to upload data. TIA

effn frustrated by SentelOne blocking my backup software despite it being whitelisted multiple times by the IT helpers. Can't uninstall it either. I don't get why I lost control over my laptop--probably gave it away when a client forced us to have standardized configurations for security. Haven't had a successful backup with SyncBack in a month. /rant
