Woods Hole, Mass. (May 12, 2021) Low-to-mid latitude land surfaces at low elevation cooled on average by 5.8 ± 0.6 degrees C during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), based on an analysis of noble gases dissolved in groundwater, according to a new study published in
Nature.
Temperature estimates in the study are substantially lower than indicated by some notable marine and low-elevation terrestrial studies that have relied on various proxies to reconstruct past temperatures during the LGM, a period about 20,000 years ago that represents the most recent extended period of globally stable climate that was substantially cooler than present.
This episode of
Alternative Power Plays is Part
2 of a discussion with Al Neuner, Vice President of Facilities
Operations at Geisinger Health System. To listen to Part 1,

Part 2 of the interview with Mr. Neuner focuses on some of the
different types of Combined Heat and Power (CHP)/cogeneration
systems that businesses can consider and how Geisinger remains
ahead of the curve in this area. Specifically, Geisinger s CHP
system was able to significantly lower emissions at its facility,
which has led to the facility receiving a handful of awards.
Additionally, Mr. Neuner talks about Geisinger s cold water
storage system that is part of the CHP, and why that technology is

The recent unprecedented snowfall and frigid temperatures
wreaked havoc on Texas energy infrastructure, leaving millions
across the state without power and heat for hours, or in many
cases, days at a time.
Many of the state s nuclear, gas, coal, wind and solar
generating facilities were unable to handle the surge in power
demand, and because Texas energy grid is largely separate from
neighboring states, Texas could not address this energy crisis by
taking from the surrounding regions.
While Texas works its way back from the energy crisis, there are
