• Lignite surface coal mine devouring German farmland. One-third of electricity in Germany is now generated from coal since the natural gas pipelines were cut.

  Germany is absolutely not green, on https://app.electricitymaps.com/map you can see that it is always in the yellow, even when its wind production is maximum. Source: over 1 year ago

• France troubled reactors

  During the 2021-2022 winter french npp worked pretty much as usual, then both unplanned and regular maintenance requirement hit during spring, summer, and fall 2022. But for this winter 2022-2023 we are currently fine, we're exporting 10GW right now. And unless we have an abnormally cold end of January or February we will not require any import and will keep exporting a clean energy to our dirty neighbors. Source: over 1 year ago

• Europe’s largest carbon emitter failed to curb emissions in 2022

  That's also the method used in "real time" by Electricity Maps (https://app.electricitymaps.com/map). Uh, at the moment, German's emissions are over 6x the French emissions (261 vs 41 g/kWh)! What a success! Source: over 1 year ago

• While Canada has fumbled every climate promise, the UK has been hitting its emissions targets. What would it take to catch up?

• Wind generated a record amount of electricity in 2022

  Could do better is right. We have ~36GW of installed wind capacity in UK, while Germany embarrasses us with 70GW! Source. Source: over 1 year ago

• I 40 vs I 80?

  I'd recommend using windy.com if you want to check weather conditions across a wide area easily and quickly. That would be a good resource to check daily weather conditions to see if I80 is a safe option. Weather conditions can change quickly, and honestly there might be some days where I40 has worse weather than I80 since these things can be fairly localized. I'd say just check conditions before you leave and... Source: 5 months ago

• Advice for weather station? Building a DIY desktop station.

  Windy.com looks pretty cool. But just wondering if there is one specifically made to be a "weather station". Source: 7 months ago

• Good Bay Area microclimate weather app?

  The Windy app lets you choose from 5 models. It's also usable at https://windy.com . Learned about this app from KPIX meteorologist Darren Peck, who sometimes uses it during his on-air segments. Source: 8 months ago

• Why are air quality "readings" of Winnipeg so hopelessly wrong so often?

  Here's a reading Aug 15 at 6:19pm. Well the air outside absolutely sucks today. Filled with smoke. Going on windy.com and clicking air quality, then PM2.5 we see a huge cloud coming down from the north and of course we have a north wind today. There are 2 huge fires in northern Alberta. https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,55.553,-100.327,5,m:fcAadg7. Source: 9 months ago
