@DylanBaddour I live in CC and studied this for my bachelor's capstone and projected that even a 30mgd desal plant won't be enough water to satisfy industrial thirst in less than a decade. Population looks to stay flat.

Absolutely explosive story coming tomorrow. Corpus Christi is plummeting towards imminent economic ruin.

A giant Exxon-Saudi plastics plant in San Patricio County this evening. The region’s largest water user, it consumes as much as 300,000+ residents. Booted up in 2022, it has helped push Corpus Christi and its surroundings to the precipice of an unprecedented water disaster.

@rolanberrypie @DylanBaddour It gets worse. Industry has a sweetheart deal where they're exempt from all drought restrictions through level 3 (where we are now) if they pay a tiny fee of about $0.006 per gallon.

@DylanBaddour Industrial and agricultural water needs to be closer to retail minus treatment and distribution costs, and if it's treated potable water it needs to be closer to retail. Households pay $2 to $8 for 1 unit (100 cu ft/748 gallons) while commercial buys it by the acre-foot.

ICE murdered a Texan last March and we are only just learning about it now.
They are once again offering the excuse that this was done in self defense, but forgive me if I am extremely skeptical after they’ve been caught lying about that exact same thing multiple times already.

I've missed opportunities because I'm physically able to do them, including a summer internship tour of AK volcanoes.
Good to push for access in society. It may not get me to the caldera of a volcano, but I can fly a drone & still take part.

A remarkable series of photos taken by @dougmillsnyt and posted on NYT, where you can see a bullet fly past Trump's head, Trump touching his right ear, and then removing his hand with blood on it:

By late June-early July standards, the overall environment looks unusually conducive for tropical development over the east-central MDR next week.
A few easterly waves will get tangled up with a pair of Convectively Coupled Kelvin Waves (CCKWs), favoring much lower than average wind shear, a generally divergent upper-level environment, & high deep-layer moisture, all superposed onto an exceptionally warm tropical Atlantic.
Recent bullish trends in NWP models are likely real & a response to the leading/ascending phase of the CCKW approaching the tropical Atlantic.
