a year ago: holy crap, I asked chatGPT to plot a sine wave and IT DID IT!
today: I asked chatGPT to read in the data, find the EOFs, project the PCs onto the surface temperature fields and plot the map. It took me 3 tries to get the prompt right. Man, chatGPT sucks.

Most people don't understand what a 100-year storm means. It means that there's a 1% chance it will occur each year.

A better metric would be 'chance during a 30-year mortgage'.

For 100-year and 500-year events, this is 26% (1 in 4) and 6% (1 in 16).

I don't want nuclear to fail, fossil fuels are the real enemy

But naively believing it will magically turn around if we just rebrand it 'modular' is a dead end strategy in the US

Any retiring coal plants predicated on new nukes needs a new plan, now
