How well do solar panels work when it's cloudy? Not very well. Eastern Oregon would be a better bet for solar power. Another unintended consequence of his plan, hail stones will break panels. The governor should possibly think about wave generated technology off the coast. The ocean is working 24/7. IMO

S.S. is a ponzi scheme. I'm almost retirment age and am NOT counting on it being the main source of income for retiremnt. At least I have a job. The system cannot sustain itself. It needs to be changed and eventually done away with. IMO.

Decision speed ,V1,is the first speed you'll reach. If you have a major failure, say an engine, before V1 the flight will be aborted, after V1 you must take off. That's why they are referred to as decision speeds. Rotation speed (nose wheels off the ground) is fast enough to where you can go around and land, because you're going too fast at that point to stop on an average runway.

They are absolutely correct using that term. Avian ingestion is when a bird is sucked into the engine only. Bird strike is used when it hits the windscreen or wing.

Not sure about a storm but the water is very cold. Hopefully they are all caught up on an island, waiting for rescuers. Prayers to these guys and their families.
