I wonder if this legislation will help us to get some needed airport noise relief from DCA?


 All of the politician seems to be concerned about the noise from DCA in Montgomery county and not very much concerned about the noise in Prince George’s County. The people in Montgomery County are highly organized and make the politician aware of their plight.

The Cornerstones of Energy Resilience

  The Cornerstones of Energy Resilience Achieving energy resilience is a multi-faceted endeavor built on several key principles: Robustness: Hardening energy infrastructure to withstand physical damage. This can include elevating substations in flood-prone areas, burying power lines to protect them from high winds, and using stronger materials for utility poles. Redundancy: Having backup systems in place. This can range from individual homeowners having portable generators to hospitals having sophisticated uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Resourcefulness and Diversity: Utilizing a variety of energy sources to avoid over-reliance on a single fuel or technology. A diverse energy portfolio, including renewables like solar and wind, alongside traditional sources, can provide more flexibility during a crisis. Flexibility and Adaptability: The ability to reconfigure energy systems in real-time to respond to changing conditions. Smart grids and advanced control technologies can a...
