>The point of the RGGI is to incentivize the switch to non-carbon power. That incentive doesn’t work if the decision makers can just pass the cost on to consumers

​

​

there is no incentive for people to reduce carbon emissions if carbon emissions remain underpriced. not pricing it into consumer choices results in people overemitting carbon

Just answering the question about Gillies. No opinion given.

By this logic, every school's individual PTA efforts should not take place because they are inequitable. Well, we are advocating for equity in the system while also fundraising for activities to support our school population. It's a "yes and" situation, not an either/or.

Fox actively participated in the last rezoning, which is reflected in the school's current population. Check the effects in the rest of the city. There is no effort by the Fox community to insulate, and certainly no segregational effort.

Wherever the parents decide.

It’s a way to prop up schools with wealthy kids without having to fix root issues of systemic failure or god forbid letting too many poors in.

Having grown up in NJ, I can assure you NJ also has fluoride in the water. Unless VA allows strangely high levels, I don't think that would be the cause.

I mean the city does bulk pick up every two weeks and tells you flat out you can leave bulky items out for that specifically. Doesn't include appliances, auto parts, or construction material though.

The SCC’s hands are completely tied because decades of legislation sponsored by Dominion have declared various projects “in the public interest.” In fact, we know exactly what we are building over the next 9 years - 5.6 GW of wind and 16.1 GW of solar (plus like 1.2 battery storage or something). While I personally supported the legislation that led to this, the SCC is forced to approve this amt of new development.

Now Dominion is also trying to force the SCC to approve small modular reactors, which are fantastically expensive and pretty much still in the R&D phase (which there is plenty of federal money to do). Not to mention wildly unnecessary considering how much generation potential we are in the throes of building. Tell your legislator to vote no on HB2333 and HB2197.

Yeah that's a problem - portajohns are for concerts and construction sites

It’s Woodville that needs replacing and is at risk for not getting what it needs.

fighting for what benefits you and yours is not noble and not reflecting on the deficiencies of the system, or knowing them and fighting not to fix them but to insulate yourself from them is disgusting, jim crow, and segregationist.

Because of their high fixed capital costs, utilities are considered natural monopolies by economists because it would be prohibitively expensive to have multiple companies serving the same area, similarly to roads. Monopolies are fine is well regulated by the state and if regulatory capture is successfully prevented. Otherwise, we need co-ops or nationalization

It has a portapotty by the horsehoe pits.

If your recommendation is to do nothing when the school has burned down because another school is past due for replacement, both situations where many are to blame, I guess we’ll disagree.

I called Virginia Physicians' Midlothian Village location and had an appt with an NP within a month.

Welcome!!

https://hcavirginiaphysicians.com/physicians/ After some time on hold today, I was able to get an appt with a doctor at HCA VA Physicians in a few weeks. This was due to a cancellation. You might have some luck! The office staff was very nice and helpful on the phone.

What happens when it's No show and No grow?

The problem is that electricity is a natural monopoly which means it will basically always be a monopoly so the options are since the cost is too much for their to be naturally competing wires to your house:

1. have it be a state agency

2. have it be a monopoly but heavily regulate it

3. Have it be a Texas style market that guarantees access to the monopoly piece of the physical wires. Which has lead them to basically running out of energy how many times...

the cognitive dissonance of the argument of "we are highlighting the issues across all the schools" while fundraising to help one school in a system of many that lack resources is not surprising, but still disappointing.

Can't say enough good things about Seven Hills Family Medicine in Monroe Ward

Texas.

They have a market that guarantees access to the lines, but privatizes it otherwise.

That's why they keep having power outages the basic theory was that if you could provide power during a very cold time then you would make more money... Turns out the model doesn't work.

Its legal extortion.
