 “We’ll add in snow removal so that the contract actually works,” Mayor Olivia Chow told CBC this week, referring to eventual revisions she’d like to suggest for 2029 when the contract expires. “Can you imagine signing a contract and forgetting to add in snow removal?”Ha, she's the lefiest of leftwingers.  They didn't put in snow removal because there would be no snow in the

Geothermal Gradient from Bottom Hole Temperatures 

 We use a modified form of the Burke et. al (2020) bottom hole temperature (BHT) method on a county-scale basis. The concept is that every BHT is too low because of unknown circulation and shutin times, as well as unrecorded mud temperature after circulation. Our modification is to anchor the gradients at the 10-yr average surface temperature, set up a sweep of gradient lines on the high side of the BHTs, then visually determine the highest geothermal gradient (G) supported by the data. This [...]
