Batteries, portable power stations, diesel generators and electric vehicles: Great rundown by @jcahealey on options for keeping your home powered, at least partially, during blackouts: latimes.com/california/story…

Are you ready for a blackout? How Californians can keep their lights on

With another heat wave straining California's electrical grid, it's a good time to think about how to keep the power on during a blackout. There's no cheap fix.

While most of us try to use as little air conditioning as possible to save money, people living in mega-mansions can run up monthly electric bills into the tens of thousands of dollars. ⁦@jflem94⁩ explains how that’s even possible: latimes.com/california/story…

A $50,000 electric bill? The cost of cooling L.A.’s biggest houses in a heat wave

As heat waves hit, electric bills for mansions are becoming pricier than many mortgages.

Looking to start a conversation with your neighbors? This way will also save water! | via @LAtimesplants latimes.com/lifestyle/story/…

They wanted their drought-tolerant yard to spark conversations. But not on Nextdoor

They renovated their Los Angeles yard with climate change in mind. Then they got derailed by a Nextdoor complaint and a city notice.
