Julie Bolthouse I read the technical study and this fits in line with the entire trend that I'm seeing across the US as well as globally. I think the real issue is the growing power costs being passed on to homeowners and the people just living in the area. Local governments have to play a role in making sure that power costs to people living in the area do not increase substantially because of this along with at the federal level.

Save Standard Time

California (#CALeg) Senate’s Energy Committee and Appropriations Committee have rewritten SB-1413. Originally filed to #DitchDST, #DitchTheSwitch, and restore permanent Standard Time, in 2024, at no cost—it would now only *study* Daylight Saving Time, in 2027, for $600,000. California’s rewritten SB-1413 would only study energy effects of DST—while ignoring health, safety, education, and productivity. DST has already been studied hundreds of times. It does not save energy. Even if it did, it would not justify its many greater harms to public well-being. Please contact California Senate leadership, ask them to restore SB-1413’s original wording. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gMcuw8Qn Also contact your own state senator, tell him/her to support permanent Standard Time. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gcnhHAXd

Australian designed and made World First technology can identify latent faults and maintenance requirements in rural electrical distribution grids. Uptake overseas = huge Uptake in Australia = very minor As heat events become more extreme this technology will save lives and property, it already exists and is proven in multiple small scale trials.

IND Technology is proud to have submitted its final report to the Victorian Government on the latest two-year trial of Early Fault Detection (EFD) for rural powerlines. Like eight previous local trials over the past decade, this one confirmed EFD’s effectiveness in reducing fire risks by continuously monitoring powerlines to detect and address faults before they spark fires. So why hasn’t EFD been rolled out nationwide to protect rural communities from catastrophic powerline fires? The report finds that while EFD is proven, affordable, and practical, Australia’s economic regulation framework, which guides the funding priorities of powerline network businesses, primarily focuses on investments with energy market benefits, with limited provisions for public safety initiatives. This echoes the frustrating trend of Australian innovations gaining widespread adoption overseas but limited local uptake. During the trial, Victoria’s powerline businesses ordered just 39 EFD systems, while North American utilities purchased 10,000. With the safety of rural communities at stake, we must urgently address this disparity and ensure measures like EFD are deployed to prevent another Black Saturday. Read the full report below to learn more about the trial findings and proposed solutions to overcome these barriers and better safeguard our communities.
