Plus, new hope for rapid solar power expansion.

The weather, currently.
Comfortable
Comfortable weather across the Southland as we head into the weekend. The mild cooldown we experienced during the week will gave way to another heat wave, as a ridge sets in on Sunday. The warmest valleys will hit the 90s again by Sunday, with high 80s elsewhere away from the coast. Looking beyond that, it’s looking like this warm and dry pattern will stick with us for some time, making for probably the best stretch of weather all year, especially given our unusually wet winter and cloudy early summer.
What you need to know, currently.
The LA Times has a story out today about the solar industry and desert conservationists making friends. It’s worth a read in its entirety, only if for the fact that it should bring a sunny moment into your day.
After nearly two years of negotiations, a coalition of solar companies, conservationists and other groups has come to terms on a set of principles — and plans for further collaboration — that could speed up the construction of badly needed renewable energy projects while also protecting wildlife habitat, preserving treasured landscapes and benefiting nearby communities.
Climate-friendly renewable energy development in line with justice for all living things is in everyone’s interest. Let’s hope California can continue to lead the way.
