That is odd given the generation on the NB side. Usually high levels of wind or solar in Maine push low pricing in the export direction. I wouldn't expect that to continue for long but good for Maine and New England as long as it does.

I hope none of these Trump advisors are working with numbers in engineering, like a rocket ship carrying astronauts or cars . . .

Happy to report I was one of those 594,233 GM sales, 3rd EV. While not as efficient as #1 and #2, it nonetheless saves a lot in fuel costs vs. an ICE pickup to haul stuff + range covers my whole large state with limited public chargers in the north and Downeast.

Devasting for the low-income LIHEAP recipients in Maine and New Hampshire + most of the Northeast and northern Midwest.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
	β€’	Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
	β€’	Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
	β€’	A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
	β€’	The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧡 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trumpβ€”it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Call in the stormtroopers as an informal violent mob, aka Germany circa. 1938-1944, to do your violent intimidation, beat up those who oppose you, and murder those you can't intimidate.

Interesting to compare to the approaches taken by my alma mater, with its $500K/student endowment, and by our public land-grant university, with our $30K/student endowment.

Happy New Year from Lulea, Sweden! Mother nature was magnificent on New Years Eve and the first hour of 2025.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

While I cannot speak for the why from the Maine Governor's Energy Office, I note that the GEO decided not to move forward with further development of an economic DSO.

Inexcusable. This is an SS tactic - target victims, civil servants who Musk and Trump apparently don't like - with literal targets on them for MAGA loyalists to harass, victimize or worse.
