Heat Wave.
6:25 PM. June 27, 2024, 85° in my apartment. Time to jump in the bathtub full of cool water.
OH MY GAWD! A Breeze is going on outside. I've opened all the windows and the front door. The breeze is blowing in and all around in every room.
It's a 1918 building. I learned about the cross ventilation after I moved in. That's how residents used to survive the hot Summer weather in Salt Lake City.

- Cross ventilation is a natural phenomenon where wind, fresh air or a breeze enters upon an opening, such as a window, and flows directly through the space and exits through an opening on the opposite side of the building (where the air pressure is lower).

Living in the American West, I'm preparing the best I can for a dreadful 2024 summer - wildfire air pollution and high temperature.
It's like living inside a microwave over - with smoke.

Big sand battery to store wind and solar energy using crushed soapstone

A huge sand battery is set to slash the carbon emissions of a Finnish town.

The industrial-scale storage unit in #Pornainen, southern Finland, will be the world’s biggest sand battery when it comes online within a year.

Capable of storing 100 MWh of thermal energy from solar and wind sources, it will enable residents to eliminate oil from their district heating network, helping to cut emissions by nearly 70 per cent.

The battery’s thermal energy storage capacity equates to almost one month’s heat demand in summer and a one-week demand in winter in Pornainen
