A couple weeks before this posting, I read this extremely grim article from the New York Times (I know, surprising, right?) about a study concerning blackouts during heatwaves and their effect on death and illness. The conclusion of this study is fairly easy to see: a blackout during a heatwave
I think we need more decentralized energy grids and people should put more solar panels on their rooftops. Solar panels don’t solve all our energy problems, but they definitely help during heat waves.
Unfortunately they’re being vilified in a lot of places. They being solar panels and the people who put them on their own properties. Matt Farrell just did a video about it: https://youtu.be/dPfpa2KqYk0
