& replace discretionary hydro electric dam water flows around the clock when windy,
& overnight recharge batteries required for #SolarCool (solar power during heat shadow just after sunset),
& pre-dawn/dawn building cooling most #SolarCool customers, (building as thermal battery),
DC requires #DCstatehood to free DC to invest in Virginia renewable energy.
#SolarCool is required to power all electric cooling to sunset temperatures & even with down to dry 72f after dark, & then even dry 72f all day.
#WindHeat is required to heat DC & DC region without fossil fuels.
Cringe. Maine regulators likely can do better. #SolarCool is vital.

I prefer #SolarCool, virgin aluminum (requiring raw Bauxite perhaps from Australia) & bulk carbon fiber (also digging deeper ports) & jet fuel for tourists flying home to fee based grow the wind renewable economy,
but if Hawaii can also ethically sequester CO2 forever in Hawaii’s rocks, it helps!
#SolarCool is best fail gracefully renewable business model.
Aluminum smelting & any similar #RenewablesVirginMaterials eg carbon fiber & Basalt fiber (if HI can spare basalt), are best business models for (no Jones Act, needs an exception) storing massive wind energy & exporting it to US & world.
