Let me explain this image. Someone from the US is trying to insert a plug on one of their devices into an Australian power outlet. Australia's outlets are 240V. US outlets are 120V max. Australian power outlets are switched off at the outlet. Those are the switches at the far upper corners. YOWCH!

"A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The meteor's incandescent trace is fleeting. It appears to cross the stars of the Big Dipper, famous northern asterism and celestial kitchen utensil, while shimmering curtains of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, dance in the night. Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun".

Absolutely incredible to see the clean-energy turnaround of Tri-State, the power generation co-op that only recently notorious for clinging to dirty sources. Thanks for the reporting, @coloradosun: coloradosun.com/2024/08/14/triโฆ

@luis_in_brief They also did this thing where the CO PUC was going to maybe let the member co-ops exit without paying the termination tariffs, so Tri-State begged FERC to be their regulator instead, and FERC agreed, and came to a different conclusion than the CO PUC:
@luis_in_brief
In addition to the direct-pay tax-credits, the IRA provided a refinancing mechanism through the USDA that I think also played a big role in facilitating the early retirements:

@luis_in_brief It looks like they've applied for USDA New ERA funding in conjunction with their 2023 resource plan, but haven't heard back from the feds about it yet. They did get a $75M 0% interest loan from USDA though.
@luis_in_brief If the members decide they want the co-op to provide clean power, the leadership needs to work to make that happen. If the members want clean power generation and the leadership acts to subvert that desire, it is a failure of the cooperative structure, not it working as intended. Here's one example of co-op members taking (back) control of their electric co-op to rectify failures of this sort ๐
