I am running the science fair for #GrafanaCon in April again, and just accepted an external submission for a 1:90 working model of an #offshore #windfarm turbine on a OC4 semi-submersible platform.
I know some of those words!
It's insane how many cool things I get to see through #Grafana, and sometimes I can even talk about them!

This is the best, and worst, news of the week.
Best is the topic of the article: the Yə̓yus Energy project itself with Wei Wai Kum First Nation holding the golden share.
Worst is learning #VancouverIsland relies on an electrical supply line from the mainland. The Island has plenty of renewable opportunity, particularly wind. In particular, I think a #WindFarm on Cook Bank, off the north end of the island, could be huge for the Nuu-chah-nulth.

Judge Revives #WindFarm That #Trump Halted Off Martha’s Vineyard
The project, known as #VineyardWind, was already 95% complete when the Trump admin ordered construction to stop.
The ruling was the fourth legal setback that the Trump admin has suffered in its quest to throttle the country’s nascent offshore #wind industry.

Good news during Trump, third Offshore wind project restored.
"US’s largest offshore wind farm can resume construction, in a third blow to Trump"
In a Setback for Trump, Judge Says N.Y. #WindFarm Can Resume Construction
A federal judge said the #EmpireWind project off #LongIsland would suffer “irreparable harm” if the Trump administration continued to hold up work.
It was the second time this week that a judge has thwarted the Trump administration’s effort to stop the five #offshorewind projects being built by different companies along the east coast.

Attorneys for Empire Wind had told the court that the project, which is ~60% complete, would face “existential risk” if it was further delayed. #Equinor, the Norwegian #energy giant developing the #WindFarm, said that if construction did not restart in the coming days it would lose >$1B in contracts & that a specialized ship needed for construction would set sail for another project.
