The hydroelectric marker for Grand Coulee Dam is not to scale. It should be larger. If drawn to scale it would dwarf the nearby markers.
According to the overview, the map does not include small producers in order to limit the number of markers. For the following sources, only producers above the specified cutoffs are shown:
- Hydropower: above 5 MW (Idaho) or 20 MW (other)
- Natural Gas & Wind: above 10 MW
- Biomass: above 1 MW
In central CA we're paying up to like $0.50 per kWh 🥲
I pay .15$, but I’m also in the middle of nowhere OK.
Similar for me in the upper midwest.
Yeah, it’s killing me slowly. I can’t afford solar, I keep my AC at 78 during the day when I’m home and off entirely overnight, I never turn lights on in the house, and I cook only with natural gas or charcoal and I’m still facing $400/mo from May to October.
I hit the “peak billing rate” for PG&E on the third day of the billing cycle each month and they say I just need to fork over cash for solar or reduce my energy further.
I just need a few more years off on my mortgage and I’m going to have to sell and move back to the Southeast, I guess.
I don't know how we haven't just passed a voter initiatives to get rid of pge. Enough people claim to hate them but we can't make any changes
