Blogging delayed a bit. Relaxed by the pool earlier, reading the two books recently mentioned.
NASCAR today: this evening, around 6:00; Daytona. I haven't looked at the weather report, but coming just before Hurricane Ida hits landfall .... weather: "thunderstorm in spots late" -- we'll see ... Later: no weather problems. A good race. Blaney wins; Bubba Wallace comes in second.
RMDs: we'll get back to this story later today -- it's chock full of inanity. The premise of the article: retirees are taking too little out of their retirement funds, leaving large amounts of money behind when they die. [Update: see this link.]
North Dakota, another top ten (FWIW): North Dakota is now in the top-10 list for renewable energy creation. Link here. Top ten? How about #2 in electricity generated by wind and solar sources?
North Dakota’s electricity consumption primarily comes from Coal and Natural Gas, but over the past decade, many wind farms have begun to popup throughout the state.
Tioga, one of the top oil producing areas of the state, has become a hub for creating wind energy through two facilities: The Lindahl and Aurora farms.
“North Dakota itself is a powerhouse in energy and the types of sources we create. Renewables help us be more diverse in that energy, which in turns keeps the cost at a certain level where it’s more affordable across the board for everyone,” said John Cribbs Assistant Site Supervisor for the Lindahl Wind Farm
According to a report by The American Clean Power Association, North Dakota was 2nd in the nation in electricity generated by wind and solar sources in 2010 at about 10%.
