These plants are almost ready to go into our moveable greenhouse! They will be protected from the cold there until it is warm enough to roll the greenhouse over and plant tomatoes!

As a part of the Sustainability program at Stockton you can get hands on experience with solar, and battery technology, with all of the other topics listed above. You can do this all while also growing food and having fun!

It seems like every winter I have to become a solar energy technician, I miss the reliability of the electrical grid.

As the temperature drops we continue to grow on the farm in our greenhouses. These carrots and greens will be extra sweet in the coming weeks and months

EXTENDED American Chopper meme 
Guy 1. Global GHG emissions are still going up 
Guy 2. Emissions are coming down in this specific place and/or sector, or if I give you an intensity metric 
1. Even there they aren't coming down fast enough 
2. I didn't say they were, but there are important areas of progress 
1. And even when global emissions start coming down that won't be enough, we need to get to zero or below 
2. You are scaring everyone, you doomer! Thanks to you no one will do anything! 
1. You are peddling hopium to the masses! Thanks to you no one will do anything!

I think wind is my least favorite weather. The air should always be moving at a light to medium breeze
