Well, remember it's summer there right now.
If there was a heatwave spike, you'll get a ton of air conditioning load. (idk what the weather was, cba to check.)

If non nuclear renewables can't power the world's air conditioners then what even is the point? That should be the only measure of any energy source

Dead, stale air outside is exactly when you need cool air blowing inside

A good buddy of mine has actually been there. He described it as “there’s bigger trash can bonfires from bums in Queens” lol.

Not really sure where to put this, but this thread seems to maybe fit. Notable tweets from the thread:

Oh it's ok if we close our nuclear plants, we'll just get...25% of our electricity on calm cold days from fucking oil like we're a gulf state

Spoiler: show

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano erupted on Saturday, about 65km (40 miles) north of the capital Nuku'alofa.

The eruption, which was heard as far away as the US, caused waves higher than a metre to crash into Tonga.

More than 10,000km away, two people drowned off a beach in northern Peru amid abnormally high waves.

Both New Zealand and Australia sent surveillance flights to find out more, with New Zealand saying there had been "significant damage" along the western coast of Tongatapu, Tonga's main island.

The Ha'atafu Beach Resort on Tongatapu was "completely wiped out" and "the whole western coastline completely destroyed", according to a post on the resort's Facebook page written by contacts overseas.

The post said those living there "just managed to get to safety running through the bushes and escaping", and were "not able to save anything".

The Pacific correspondent for Television New Zealand, Barbara Dreaver, wrote on Facebook that it would take "at least two weeks before international phones and internet are working again", due to damage inflicted on a critical submarine cable as a result of the volcanic eruption.

The Red Cross said even satellite phones, used by many aid agencies, had poor service due to the effects of the ash cloud. The organisation estimates that up to 80,000 people may have been affected by the tsunami.
