High winds and heavy rain can bring down tree limbs or whole trees. This was the case last night near a Southern California Edison (SCE) substation, leading to an unplanned outage affecting about 15,000 Conejo Valley customers, with many losing grid power for an hour or more. Here is SCE’s report:

“On February 10 at 2055 hours, a 30-second electrical disruption affecting approximately 15,000 customers in Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, and Westlake Village occurred when eleven 16kV circuits out of Potrero Substation relayed and reclosed. At 2132 hours, a portion of the substation was interrupted. Preliminary reports indicate tree branches contacted substation equipment. Most customers were restored at 2254 hours and all power was restored at 2310 hours. There were no reported injuries.”

Another storm is headed our way next week, with rain forecast Sunday through Thursday. SCE has tips on emergency preparedness here: https://www.sce.com/outages-safety/outage-preparedness/outage-tips/emergency-preparedness-kit

Daytime power prices in Australia have never been lower. So why are bills rising?
By Daniel Mercer

The benefits of extremely low energy prices during the day are "washed away" by extremely high ones after dark. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Routine maintenance & upgrades to the #grid were already causing households nationwide to experience sticker shock on their monthly #bills. These added costs could drive regional prices even higher in the coming year. 2 co-operative #electrical #utilities that own the #Colorado #coal plant forced to stay online asked the #Trump admin to reconsider because it would raise #costs on their ratepayers.

#idiocracy #affordability #CostOfLiving #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #energy #law

But maintaining ancient #power plants is very expensive. Many #utilities across the country have spent the last several years slowly retiring their oldest & dirtiest #coal facilities, & replacing that energy with a mix of newer, low-cost options including #gas plants & #renewables.

“These are old plants,” said Michael Goggin, executive VP of #energy consulting group #Grid Strategies & the author of the recent report tallying the costs of coal plants. “They are no longer economic.”

Seriously, #HP #InstantInk combines all the worst features of #subscriptions and #ManagedServices like #ManagedPrintServices with neither benefits.

• Cuz #MPS for #businesses meant that a business gets a 5-6 digit, extremely fast, production-grade printer and only pays for the #consumeables and maybe setup & availability (similar to #utilities) and in return they don't have to worry and in case of problems call the #ServiceProvider instead.

This is how #TriumpfAdler stays in business: You can't buy their office multifunction systems, but only get them as a subscription through a #ServiceProvider.

• Now this makes sense for a copy/fax/print/scan monster that needs to be forklifted and can spit out triple-digit pages per minute: Not every business is willing or able to sink 5+ digits into that, and instead is happy to pay like 9-19¢ per page + a monthly base fee for that, because #accounting hates having to 'depreciate an asset / investment'.

But for #consumer devices like an #Inkjet #Printer, this is just shafting them when instead of being a convenience (like getting #ink mailed) it's leveraged as a means to prevent the #buyer from being an #owner.

• It's like if a #CreditCard provider used for paying for #fuel prevents car owners from refueling a car if they want to buy gasoline (or diesel or whatever) from a different gas station that their service isn't covering.

It's not as if #HPinstantInk means one gets a "#free" Printer / (or even #MultifunctionPrinter) in return like a "full service #leasing" with #cars, but rather it feels as if a car manufacturer can just decide to repo your car the moment you don't extend your "Extended Warranty Service" for another year...

• Personally, I think #InkjetPrinters should be #outlawed and instead people should just get a used #Laser / #LED printer instead.

The rampant #Enshittification is why I'd love to see a reguar "#2Dprinter" to be #OpenSource'd!

• Seriously, #3Dprinting is way harder and at least #Inkjet designs should be in the cards!
