Nice combination, Hurricane-->Power Outage-->Record Heat Wave.  I wo0nder if they'll tally the deaths from Heat Stroke and attribute them to the hurricane?

2.26M without juice, plus the remnants of Beryl are still knocking down power lines on its track north. Power company says it could be a couple of weeks to get power back on, so the body count should keep rising for a while.  Should open up a few beds in the nursing homes.

You can add a few thousand people to the homeless tally down in TX also, who can share cots with the migrants in the concentration camps.  Hopefully, Walmart has stocked up on tents.

Oh yeah, and donch-know we be in ecological overshoot too.  Grim consequences shall be reaped when the food goes away.

Does the doom mentality I express above divert attention from keeping the eye on the ball?  I fear it does.  Humanity is in overshoot, but specific actions kill the planet.


No, don't listen to the dog. 

I say let capitalism win and remove all pain points holding back faster oil and gas production.  Warm that shit up.  Do it.

And don't watch part two.
