What a bad headline from the NYTimes: "Susan Collins Couldn’t Outrun Trump."
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/04/us/politics/susan-collins-defeat-donald-trump.html

Susan Collins never tried to outrun Trump. She departed from him on a few issues. But not many and not boldly. What she tried is more like outwalking than outrunning.

How #Maine ’s #SaltMarshes Can Save the Day

Making room for nature can help communities adapt to #ClimateChange.

Published April 29, 2021

Excerpt: "Why Are #TidalMarshes Important?

"Salt marshes certainly play a critical role in the aquatic food web, but they can also protect cities and towns from #CoastalFlooding by absorbing the influx of water during storm surges and providing buffers between the sea and homes and businesses. Even the effects of floodwaters from the land can be similarly reduced. And, these storm events are already happening with more frequency and intensity.

" 'It’s a good example of what we call a nature-based solution or #NBS,' says Bell. “In addition to reducing carbon emissions, there are already climate impacts that we need to adapt to now. Nature-based solutions tap into the power of nature to limit the effects of climate change while preserving habitat and protecting people. It’s about working with nature, not fighting against it.”

"Currently, Bell is working with the town of #Woolwich, the #KennebecEstuaryLandTrust, and the Maine Department of Transportation to restore the #BackRiverMarsh by enlarging a bridge on #RouteOne and removing a section of the adjacent George Wright Road. This road has direct exposure to ocean waves and impedes tidal flow to the marsh. At the same time, the water supply line for the City of #BathME and power lines that feed energy to #Arrowsic and Georgetown, which run through and along the road, will be secured by moving them out of the flood-prone area."

#NH goes #SolarPunk ? And yeah, there are reasons why folks might not want solar on their rooftops (like those who have metal roofs or live in snowy areas), so go for it!!!

#NewHampshire home's wall-mounted solar panels spark a ' #SolarPunk ' code debate

"Commenters in the thread said wall-mounted panels may generate less electricity than sun-facing roof arrays, but in snowy places [like #Maine and #NH ] they can remain productive when roof panels are buried."

Ray Brennan, August 5, 2026

"A Reddit image of solar panels attached to a home's exterior walls instead of its roof is getting a lot of notice online and prompting people to debate the limits and practicality of do-it-yourself solar projects.

"What's happening?

"The discussion started on Reddit, where a user posted a photo that seemed to show solar panels installed vertically along the outside of a house.

"Reacting to the unusual setup, the person who shared it wrote: 'Just saw this…I need an explanation lolll.'

"By the time the conversation took off, hundreds of comments had piled up as people argued over whether the approach was inventive, dubious, or somewhere in between.

"A number of replies leaned into the make-it-work attitude.

"One wrote, 'I'd call that solar punk. Slap solar panels on whatever you can.' "

This ended up being fun while connecting the PTO drive shaft. You can see that the drive shaft guide is off center. Apparently it has some internal play within the housing. Had to put a wood block down and whack it with a hand sledge to get it flat again so the drive shaft would proceed through the guide on the other side of the adapter. Very confusing for a bit. #maine #winteriscoming #tractors
