Passionate about saving American elms
Portland is home to 3,600 elms, and spunky neighborhoods labor to limit losses from Dutch elm disease.

Not a fan of them, not native to the area and they are a magnet for aphids. Plant Big leaf Maples in their place!Dutch Elm Disease here in Portland.

I hear you. I prefer native species myself. But having grown up with these trees it's hard to watch them die. I've never known a Portland without them as they were here long before I was born. They sure are a nice addition to the Park Blocks in the middle of the city. But they shouldn't be replanted. There are other native species.

I was just watching that. The west is in for a world of hurt. And my water table is higher than ever. My camp at the pond used to be 50-100 feet from the water. Now it's 25.

The rest of the country is going to hurt too, if farmers in the San Joaquin Valley can't grow crops.

"China has traditionally purchased nearly all of its coal supplies from producers within Asia, but that changed last year when it stopped buying from Australia amid a political dispute between the once-close trading partners, leading to sporadic shortages.Cripple USA and Europe with no coal and ChYna sops it up like candy....

For China, the options to deal with the global supply crunch are limited. Beijing could decide to ease the ban on Australian coal imports, although that may not be politically palatable. Or the government could decide to curb supply to factories at the expense of economic growth."
China’s coal shortage means higher prices for the world | Business
China, the world’s top coal consumer, is in dire need of more supply and is willing to pay any price - a move that threatens to leave less fuel for energy-starved rivals.
Poor babies.

Blackouts are not that unusual in the country but this year a number of factors have contributed to a perfect storm for electricity suppliers.
The problem is particularly serious in China's north eastern industrial hubs as winter approaches - and is something that could have implications for the rest of the world.

Doesn't say for how long in the article. No biggie if it's just a few peak hours.
Ours goes out maybe a dozen times a year, usually just a day or so, sometimes only a few hours. Two winters back we lost power for five days and couldn't get out for three days. That when it gets kinda old.

A couple of hours without power can be stressful for those with Indoor gardens.
