Surprised to find out that electronic copies of transcripts from @council.nyc.gov cost $20 per hearing and need to be requested from the City Clerk. Couldn't they be available at legistar.council.nyc.gov? cityclerk.nyc.gov/content/transcripts-of-city-council-proceedings #transparency #oversight #nyc

Fig. 34 (NYS Climate Action Scoping Plan App. G 12/22) projects that a stable capacity to complement wind/solar will still be needed in winter 2050. NYSERDA cited Fig. 34 in its Draft Blueprint for Consideration of Advanced Nuclear Technologies 9/24. #newyork #cleanenergy #energytransition #fission

A mountain graph estimating available sources of energy for New York State, during a winter week in 2050, during which there are limited quantities of sunlight and wind. The graph includes a space that denotes the energy needed in addition to the limited quantities produced by wind, solar, and other sources of clean energy.

A mountain graph estimating various sources of clean energy produced in New York State in a spring week in 2050. 5 of the 7 days have excess energy from renewable sources. The graph posits that long duration storage solutions will be in place to capture the excess energy for use at a later time.

👍 This is a graph of station-openings/year using cleaned up data from tinyurl.com/ejsk3. The last year with ≥5 openings was 1956, with 13. Out of 140 years, 46 had new stations. I agree with @marklevinenyc.bsky.social though that more public transit is needed, especially in the other 4 boroughs.

A bar graph of the 472 operating NYC subway stations, by year opened, from 1885 to 2024. 458 of the 472 (97%) opened before 1960. The graph does not take into account the openings of the 10 permanently closed stations.

NEW: Since 2021, nearly every civil court judge in the Bronx has hired a political consulting firm directly tied to the leader of the Bronx Democratic Party. The pattern raises concerns about a pay-to-play element within Bronx judicial elections. nysfocus.com/2024/11/13/l...
