I was (un)fortunate to be in the PNW during the second week of July this year when temperatures in White Salmon, WA on the Columbia River Gorge hit 113 degrees Fahrenheit. The infrastructure architect in me saw nothing but HVAC deployments going in everywhere all the while the energy grid was doing rolling blackouts from the spike in cooling demand for those that had it. Most importantly was the immediate commercial reaction as NEARLY ALL BUSINESSES WERE CLOSED in the region because the locals could not deal with the abnormally high temperature delta as few places had cooling. That last line is critical to those that are cognizant of economics and where "speculated" climate change will lead the human population. We all will certainly be dead at some point in our futures however the verdict remains out on "weather" Mother Nature will continue to freeze, drown, burn, and roast us away. What you cannot see matters most!

Stay Healthy!
