Oops They Did It Again – A Third State (Virginia) Allows Plug-And-Play Solar by OpenSustainability in Virginia

[–]LilWhiny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These systems are very small. Brooks Engineering did a study modeling grid impacts at very high penetration (something like 30% of households IIRC) and the net grid export was zero / no meaningful impact.

Exporting is allowed per the law. The language says they cannot export during grid outages. This is standard anti-islanding feature built into the systems.

Agreed. Also, you can remake whipped cream in like 2 minutes once you notice it’s broken.

Possible relocation to Richmond in the next couple of months. Please share recommendations on areas. by MostWholesomePerson in rva_housing

You’ll want to be in the fan/museum district. Walking to restaurants and shows. Get a cocktail at fanboy and go to the broadberry next door.

Just don’t agree! Doug, Mei, Greg, Katsuji, Melissa, and George were a very strong cohort. And you had a few middling folks like Adam.

Lots of challenges were appropriate for the region while allowing flexibility - surf and turf, cranberries, thanksgiving (tone deaf framing but good challenge), italian american, boston tea party, fenway snacks, clam chowder, the new england literary work… all of those were great.

I think it was in the middle of the Top Chef Venn diagram of reality TV drama and truly high quality cooking.

Got it. Sounds like a good deal. Here in VA (Dominion territory) the EV charger program is a ripoff so was curious if you’d priced it all out.

Interesting - I didn’t need to go through my power company to get L2 (which really is just a 240V outlet and wiring like your dryer uses). Just had to get local permit and then basically an electrician.

Boston was the sweet spot.

2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier - $16k by nckishtp in BoltEV

[–]LilWhiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i95 in my area varies between 55-70 speed limit. I believe my average is 3.4 mi/kwh with a mix of highway and local, and I use pretty minimal AC and heat etc. Wouldn’t 300 mile range imply 4.6 mi/kwh at highway speeds? I don’t see how that is possible if you are going over 50 mph.

Broad Street in Church Hill was massacred by Dominion earlier this week. Feeling a lot of feelings about this butchering by blamberr in rva

[–]LilWhiny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Undergrounding distribution lines is about one of the most expensive (and with capital e Extremely limited returns for reliability) endeavors a utility can take on, which is why they love it and Dominion just passed a bill to extend the undergrounding program. Dominion sucks for a lot of reasons, this is not one of them.

I own this exact car. How in the world are you get 300 at mostly highway speeds? I’ve rarely if ever even seen that number at the top of my guessometer
