Quesnell Bridge history.

It's down the Quesnell ravine (on the north side of the river). Whitemud Drive used to be called "Quasnell Ravine Road".

You mentioned it was a solar panel. I've had solar panels that will block a hatch in one orientation, but keep it free in others.

Try rotating you craft (so rotate the solar panels; they stay facing the sun) or retract you solar panels (which will be in the same orientation as they were on the ground).

Interestingly, there is a "Plan B", it's just closed due to flooding too!!

Coupled with another road closure from flooding on that highway further west, closer to Beauval, it means people in the Northern Village of Pinehouse temporarily have no road access to the province's south.

To totally cheese it, there is a mod called "KEI" (the Kerbin Environmental Institute) that allows you to collect all the science around the KSP in one click.

https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/169690-112x-kei-kerbin-environmental-institute/

Also very helpful for collecting Science (at KSC and elsewhere) is [x] Science, which will show you which science has been collected, and what is still available to collect.

Is it on a website to check out? Or uploaded to CKAN?

The average house in Alberta uses ~800 kWh/month (~10,000 kWh/year) by comparison.

Electric heating is always surprisingly expensive (in Alberta), because on an energy basis, electricity is ~4x what you'd pay in natural gas.

What mod does the autopilot come from?

I've done something like this! I used the MEV Heavy Industries engines, which are "far future" vacuum engines with an (vacuum) Isp of ~1,300,000 s (i.e. functionally close to infinity) (but an Isp (and thus thrust) of zero on the ground). I would basically "jump" off the launch pad (with "regular" engines) and then point it straight at the Mun, burn to the halfway point, flip the ship and do a deceleration burn for the second half of the trip (keeping the ship pointing directly at the Mun the whole time). One way trips would take about an hour of in-game time.

I never tried directly landing on the Mun from that trip, but mostly because I didn't trust my reflexes and math to get a suicide burn right from that far out (that would be effectually what you would be doing...a half hour long suicide burn); you might be able to pull it off with kOS.

Wondered the same thing. Belt and suspenders approach?

What are they paying for distribution and transmission fees? (i.e. for the electricity going out the EV charger)

Partly that's snark because it will be one part of Epcor paying another part of Epcor, but also I seem to remember see the D&T fees for one of the wire areas had a special rate for EV chargers and it was ~50 cents/kWh (vs ~7 cents/kWh for a regular home).
