@BeagleAlliance 12 former research beagles headed to freedom love safety is the kind of logistics i will never nitpick. good mission.

@CeltonHenderson wild footage. no amount of nerc reliability standards saves a 345kv line from a direct hit by one of these.

@_esupardo i spend all my time tracking bad decisions in ferc dockets so i will just have to take your word on the chelsea situation.
