Hurricane Milton nears landfall on Florida’s west coast, disrupts energy infrastructure
U.S. Energy Information Administration
EIA provides energy statistics and analyses for sound policy making, efficient markets, and public education.
As of 8:00 a.m. eastern time on October 9, Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday as a major hurricane on the west coast of Florida with sustained winds of 160 miles per hour , creating the potential for significant disruptions to energy infrastructure.
Utilities in Florida are preparing for high volumes of power outages . High winds, flooding, and storm surge from Hurricane Milton might affect energy infrastructure such as power plants, power transmission and distribution lines, and fuel terminals.
Trade press reports state that some retail gasoline stations in Florida are without fuel as demand increased prior to the hurricane. In a press conference on Tuesday, Florida governor Ron DeSantis indicated that the state was dispatching and staging fuel as needed. However, Florida does not have any refineries or gasoline pipelines that connect it to states with excess supply. Florida's gasoline and diesel are delivered by truck or ship from domestic and international sources.

1 个月We can reach Real Zero right now. No need solar panel farm, wind farm, battery car, gasoline car, nuclear, desalination etc. These are not clean energy technologies. We need to fucus on building community-driven solutions for future generations. We don't need innovations/wars which make human's consciousness goes to heaven/hell. Clean energy production service community and circular agriculture operation building are the foundation of community-driven solutions.? Wired internet, wired water, wired electricity are the key for human mental and body health.

1 个月Here is an example of my global fractal simulation and genesis of the Milton hurricane- most probably we could scatter it into smaller pieces using my technology and prototype concepts. https://youtu.be/LTgPxKwRUJQ https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/activity-7249838170890981376-FXUO?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop This is just a demo - droplet in the sea what our climate models and theology can do. We are seeking partners, collaborations, and official recognition. Publishing all details is risky - our model assumes the possibility of efficient weather modification for civil and infrastructure protection - however, it can be also used to do more damage if used by potential climate terrorists or countries in war or conflicts. Therefore careful testing with meteologists is needed. We look forward to collaborating on projects. kind regards new invention - Holographic climate model Self-re-organizing fractal diffusive natural neural patterns technology based on holographical and cymatics projection principles.
