My two peninsulas. AGW: one crisis that rules them all. Get off carbon fuels. Electrify everything. Solar and wind. Magnitudes cheaper to act than adapt. Facts, data, ethics, empathy, science, equal opportunity-protection-treatment under the law for ALL

The Sibs L to R Bailey, Sofia, and brother Strider. They will be 6 on July 31. 375 lbs (120 120 135) of fun and love. They love cruising in our beater ‘99 Suburban.

We can it a “wave of love” 💕 Sometimes overwhelmed with such strong feelings for these 2. They are so beautiful and smart and sweet and loving. And so well behaved. Cherishing every moment of our (hoped for) 12-14 years together. They turn 6 on July 31. Have another sister and their mom too.

I’m only 63 but I guess I’m entering my weepy old man phase. Just treated myself to this book and upon seeing the cover, reading the jacket, and flipping through it I am unexpectedly crying. Equal parts appreciation for the research voyages, the now-disappearing fauna, the valued pure science.

Yup. The info was there if you were interested and listening. Due to AGW, moved from SoCal to the shore of Lake Superior (UP MI) as young marrieds in 1987. We were starting a family, wanted “ancestral home” for kids and grandkids etc, in the best place in US re AGW. Married 41 years today 🥰

Silverado 4WT EV. EPA rated 450 mi range but we regularly get 520 miles. And I mostly charge off our 10.2 kW solar array 😎 I guess you thought I was avoiding mentioning Tesla? Have always thought they were ugly and cramped… even before he went cray cray!

And I will answer with another quote from some other book of fiction. Thanks for playing “missing the point entirely”. “God is real. It says so in the Bible” 😂😂😂 Ever hear of circular logic?

Wellll, at the clinic where my dog is collected it is done by hand. Often with a “teaser bitch” (in heat female) he can snuffle to get in the mood. But he’s a pro, doesn’t need any extra incentive, he knows what goes on in that back room and is eager to enter 😂😂 Here he is after… ahh yeah baby

Get a Silverado 4WT EV — 450 mile range. Getting 500+ in city driving and at below 60pmh on highway.

This guy got hit by a vehicle. Amazing intelligent calm gorgeous being. Broken pelvis and tibia, had to be euthanized (no wildlife vet here, life in captivity possible but low quality) but got a great last meal and a burial with honor. A sad day.

Try the Kia EV6. Just as fast or faster, but better looking (imho) and much more spacious.

If you’re driving by the tiny village of Ahmeek in Keweenaw County, MI, they are welcome to charge for free at my 2 EV chargers Only Level 2, but working on installing 150kW DC fast chargers (don’t get me started on utility demand waivers etc — they are making it very tough). Silverado EV charging

Yaaas!! I always share that 1) ICE engines WASTE about 80% energy while EVs lose only around 11% (yes 8x more efficient) and 2) compare how often you service and fix your gas engine vs your electric motor windows — electric motor has way fewer parts and is essentially maintenance free.

Having others use the no-carbon power from the grid is probably the most efficient “carbon capture” method, or maybe for electrolysis and store H2 at low pressure in propane tanks for use in fuel cells over winter. But carbon bricks would be cool. This is one of the arrays; Silverado EV charging

BajaKeweenaw @bajakeweenaw.bsky.social · 13/02/2025
Me too as too often the EV part just gives more power. Still… better than full ICE. Drove our Silverado EV from UP Michigan to Cabo, 3500 miles, got over 500 miles range (EPA 450), did not emit about 2.5 tons of co2 👍

We drove our Silverado BEV from UP Michigan to Cabo San Lucas (3500 miles). Got over 500 miles per charge (EPA rating 450 miles) and did not emit about 2.5 tons of co2. In US just like an ICE trip — drive until low, then look for fill up station. No need to plan route chargers everywhere.

Silverado EV 4 WT. It calculates range based on your last few charges. Been in Baja a month or so, driving hwy and dirt and small villages. You can see that 10% battery left I have 50 miles left = 500 miles on full charge. EPA rating is 450 miles. Have done as much as 535 miles 😎

Very cool! And yes it can be done. This relatively tiny 10.2kW array with 12kwh lifepo battery powers this building in UP Michigan 100% Feb-October and 20%-80% NovDecJan. Started saving money the first day 👍
