Unfortunately, #ISONewEngland #ISONE isn't doing sh*t to encourage anyone to conserve electricity during #eclipse24. Instead, it says it'll just fire up peaker plants: "...solar production is expected to drop off fairly rapidly over the course of the eclipse and will need to be replaced by other sources of power generation. The exact amount of additional generation needed will depend on cloud cover that day." - https://isonewswire.com/2024/03/07/iso-ne-preparing-for-aprils-total-solar-eclipse/

Hot damn. #Nuclear is winning today in the bitter cold.... I hate to see the oil line crawl up on these days though.

@mem_somerville I had no idea this #isone existed. Added to my daily list!

Egads. I look at these local #electricity production charts every day, and I don't think I've ever seen oil at 30%.

And just watch the emissions come up with that.

Sigh. #ISONE https://www.iso-ne.com/isoexpress/web/charts
