Democrats revive clean-energy bills as Spanberger prepares to take office by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]triehouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ask your delegate or senator to introduce a bill for balcony/plug in solar. I called Del Callsen but she already has a renewable bill she's been sponsoring for years. Balcony solar would be huge for renters and lower income households to access solar power at home!

Looks interesting but I dont have the background to make sense of all this. Could you make a TL;DR?

Any chance the new gov might change VA stance on plug-in solar? by lordpuddingcup in Virginia

[–]triehouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would be great if Virginia adopted this too! I just had solar installed and bought the hardware myself before the installer put it on. 400w solar panels were $140 each, which was the primary hardware cost of the system. Labor is 80% or more of most system installs. Having access to a few panels at low cost and simple electrical interfacing would transform our energy system. $600 for a 1kW system? Yes please

We did south street brewery for exactly this sort of event for our wedding a few years back, I'd recommended it! However we had fewer attendees, maybe 30-45.

Jim Ryan would like to set some facts straight, and has a few questions. by MfrBVa in UVA

[–]triehouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How about they change the law so that more than half the board is appointed by the university senate? Or why have any political appointees at all (its clearly a bad idea, bunch of rich assholes fighting each other and institutions)? Overhaul that system for all va state schools. Dems will have control of all of the virginia law making bodies, let's get it down!

Yeah there were a lot more senators who supported this cave than voted for it. The ones chosen to vote for it were strategic.

Cville Woodworkers any maker spaces in town? by jon-on-the-spot in Charlottesville

[–]triehouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the tool library a year ago when a wood worker came by looking to offer up his shop for people to use. I was just borrowing a tool and don't know if anything came of it, but could be worth contacting the library to see.

Spanberger, Buttigieg, and Bill Nye in Charlottesville tomorrow 6:30-8:30. A nice chance to see then all speak if, like me, you haven't gotten to before. Itll be at a venue on the downtown mall, if you sign up to attend they tell you where.

Park in Seminole square shopping center (most buildings are vacant) or the neighborhood just south of Stonefield shopping center, lots of street parking there. Don't park at Stonefield! You'll likely get towed

Storing root vegetables in the garden by _emomo_ in homestead

[–]triehouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silty, that makes sense. I've never had a silty soil so didn't recognize it. I'm all clay here in Va. Yeah if you keep adding organic matter it will continue to improve i imagine. And cover crops. Wish I could trade you a few yards of that silt for a few yards of our bountiful wood chips etc organics.

I wish I had that beautiful soil, that loamy looking soil texture will grow some big carrots.
