Developing a stock water system that provides cattle access to clean, pumped water allows for: ✅improved water quality ✅healthier herds ✅better gains and higher weaning weights for calves ✅improved longevity of water supply in a dugout, dam or pond However, building and maintaining a water system, such as a solar system, windmill or pipeline comes with a cost. 🧰Use the BCRC Water Systems Calculator to help determine the cost of setting up a stock water system and the potential return on investment: https://lnkd.in/gsRix69G

I see a lot of commentary making the case that we overemphasize supply-related resource adequacy strategies when energy efficiency programs could be a more cost-effective alternative. If you are inclined to make this argument, what exactly do you have in mind? Is it simply that we'd have less risk of supply shortfalls during extreme weather events if we had better insulated or otherwise more efficient homes?

Energy efficiency is one of the smartest investments Maryland can make, but outsized utility profits have been needlessly driving up costs to consumers. It’s time to update EmPOWER to right size Maryland’s utility profits and by passing HB864! https://bit.ly/empower24

The Harrison Power Station in Harrison County, WV, is a powerhouse in every sense of the word! With an impressive 2,000 MW generating capacity, it stands as one of the largest power plants in the state, fueled by none other than West Virginia coal. This mighty plant consumes a staggering 6.5 million tons of West Virginia coal annually, making it the largest consumer of coal in the state. What's even more remarkable is that the coal used at the plant is sourced directly from the adjacent Harrison County Mine, delivered seamlessly via conveyor belt. It's a prime example of efficiency and local resource utilization, being one of only two "mine mouth" power plants in the state. Every year, the Harrison County plant churns out an astonishing 13 million megawatt hours of electricity, powering homes, businesses, and industries across the region. But its impact extends far beyond just energy production. The plant is a vital economic engine, supporting 414 direct jobs and an additional 1,066 indirect jobs in the local economy. These hardworking individuals contribute to the plant's total annual wage impact of $178 million, helping to sustain families and communities. When we talk about economic impact, the Harrison County plant truly shines, with a staggering total economic impact of over $1.1 billion annually. That's a testament to its role as a cornerstone of the local economy and a driver of prosperity for the region. Let's celebrate the Harrison Power Station and the incredible role it plays in powering our communities and fueling economic growth!

Risks are on the rise for communities in the PJM power market that host #fossilfuel plants. Because #privateequity and private capital are largely free from financial oversight and less susceptible to public pressure, these ownership groups can decide on short notice to close a facility if the economics no longer work, leaving unprepared communities to face significant economic dislocations from job and tax losses. This was the case for the sudden closure of Homer City #coal plant in Pennsylvania, which should be seen as a harbinger of future dislocations, especially in localities hosting PJM’s aging coal-fired generation capacity. The transition away from fossil fuels is under way. This transition will not be easy, but there are significant federal resources available to states and localities through the IRA to help ease the shift. Local officials in PJM just need to be willing to take the first step into the future.
