Wow, no more $100 replacement filters?

I use Honeywell and Friedrich electrostatic air cleaners but they do require regular cleaning and I think most people are not willing to do that.
(The Honeywell is for the whole house filtration and Friedrich is portable for occasional use if or when needed)

Sunday morning smoke

Been so wet around here all year, you couldn’t catch the woods on fire with napalm.

The Bootleg Fire near Chiloquin has shut down the 4800 mw California electrical intertie. Smoke and ash causes the lines to short momentarily, and they had to kill it to keep the whole system from going crazy. They are trying to bring it back up at 430 mw today. A friend in Redding is suffering in 116 degree heat. I hope her AC stays up.

Thanks!

I was poking around CalISO last night and I noticed that the California grid was short about 5GW last night. I looked at the list of down generators and didn't see it. This would explain why the grid was short last night. The list of transmission line failures isn't publicly visible.

All the best,

Peter

Oh yes you could . . .

I have a friend managing a Red Cross shelter at the Bootleg Fire. Thank you, David Maranov.

Sitting in a shelter in Klamath Falls for the bootleg fire. 12 clients, 40 dogs, five cats.

A cousin in Western Wyoming is complaining about the smoke.
