Whatever one thinks about the relation of past accumulation of CO2 in te atmosphere and weather related disasters, we clearly need to invest more in hardening infrastructure against weather events. And wouldn't a tax on net CO2 emissions be a handy source of revenue for said investment?
I heard from my niece this morning, she lives about 20 minutes north of Greenville. Luckily, they weren't hit that badly and never lost power. She said that there were a lot of trees down, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Best of luck to everyone and maybe FEMA will be there to help.

Whole house generators fueled by Natural Gas or Propane are a great thing to invest in
Hey Virginia, I had forgotten that you were from SC. Somehow that never came up last time we talked at FEECON. Hope all is well with your family!
