Watch: Ocasio-Cortez Says Dreams of Motherhood ‘Taste Bittersweet’ Due to Climate Change
If climate change craziness stops crazy fucks from having more kids I love it.
Ocasio-Cortez Says Dreams of Motherhood 'Bittersweet' Due to Climate Change
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said during a speech at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen that her dreams of motherhood now “taste bittersweet” due to climate change.
The freshman lawmaker delivered a speech at the summit this week and emotionally declared that her dreams of motherhood “taste bittersweet” because of climate change and the impact it will have on “our children’s future.”
“I speak to you not as an elected official or public figure. But I speak to you as a human being,” she began.
“A woman whose dreams of motherhood now taste bittersweet because of what I know about our children’s future and that our actions are responsible for bringing their most dire possibilities into focus,” she continued, audibly holding back tears.
“I speak to you as a daughter and descendant of colonized peoples who have already begun to suffer,” she added, citing the thousands of Puerto Rican lives lost due to Hurricane Maria, which she described as a “climate change powered storm.”
She said her grandfather died in the aftermath along with others, all because “they were living under colonial rule, which contributed to the dire conditions and lack of recovery.”
Dozens of C40 mayors called for a “Global Green New Deal” to address the mounting environmental concerns.
“As mayors our first priority is to protect the safety of our citizens,” C40 chair, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, said. “It will soon be four years since the Paris Agreement was signed in our city.”
“World leaders met in New York just last month and once again failed to agree anything close to the level of action necessary to stop the climate crisis,” she continued.

Uh oh! Californians Learn That Solar Panels Stop Working When Power Is Cut
Posted at 12:00 pm on October 12, 2019 by Elizabeth Vaughn
As part of their efforts to prevent wildfires, California’s electric supplier PG&E shut down power to approximately 800,000 residents and businesses in the northern part of the state last week. The thinking is that dry, windy conditions spark wildfires and if the utility could take large swathes of the power grid offline when those conditions are present, this would prevent fires. The Mercury News reports that in the last couple of years, several major fires have started from “PG&E power lines in the Wine Country and Sierra foothills.”
Many residents did not understand why their solar panels stopped working when the power was cut. It turns out that only solar panels which are installed with a battery backup will keep the lights on.
Bloomberg explains the reason:
Most panels are designed to supply power to the grid — not directly to houses. During the heat of the day, solar systems can crank out more juice than a home can handle. Conversely, they don’t produce power at all at night. So systems are tied into the grid, and the vast majority aren’t working this week as PG&E Corp. cuts power to much of Northern California to prevent wildfires.
The only way for most solar panels to work during a blackout is pairing them with batteries.
Bloomberg reports that the market for batteries has started to take off. Ed Fenster, the Chairman of U.S. rooftop solar company Sunrun, Inc., expects battery sales to explode after the PG&E blackouts.

When we had ours installed they explained the process to me. Since we are feeding the grid we would lose power in a blackout. I'm thinking about a BBU/storage ...

Wouldn't batteries involve mining the earth for other than coal? Lol! Think I'll straddle some battery options to ride the stocks up due to less supply and more demand, then I'll ride them down to cash in again when supply meets demand. What's that mean for the NGD? We have even less time then we thought!!
