Important Takeaways:
- Canadian wildfire smoke blocking sun, causing solar panels to produce 50% less energy
- The eastern United States is having a lot of trouble producing enough “renewable” energy for itself ever since the Canadian wildfires first sparked.
- It turns out that all the smoke now blanketing the skies is preventing natural sunlight from reaching solar panels, which are said to be producing about 50 percent less energy as a result.
- According to reports, the solar farms that power New England are producing about 56 percent less energy at times of peak demand during the wildfires compared to before they began.

Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves
Important Takeaways:
- The smoke is expected to gradually blow away from the U.S. East Coast over the weekend, but the fires in Canada are still burning.
- According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, there are currently 426 active fires in the country.
- Of those fires, 232 are labeled as “out of control.” Just 112 are marked as “under control,” while another 82 are “being held.” A fire being held means it is not moving but still not considered under control.
- Harsh weather conditions in Canada are fueling the fires and making it harder for firefighters to combat the flames. This isn’t likely to go away.
- The most recent outlook, published this week, said that the wildfire season this year is already “severe” and warned that current predictions “indicate the potential for continued higher-than-normal fire activity across most of the country throughout the 2023

Luke 21:11 “There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.”
Important Takeaways:
- Wildfires are burning away the West’s snow
- Researcher Stephanie Kampf’s team set out to determine whether more wildfires are burning at high elevations. The answer is unequivocally yes. And the consequences are dramatic: Snow in wildfire-burned areas is melting 18 to 24 days earlier than average.
- The snowpack is critical… it contributes 20% to 90% of surface water used for agriculture, energy production, aquatic species habitat and more.
- “What this study shows nicely is that fires are moving into places that we would think of as being more resistant because they’re cooler and wetter”
- The study also found that snow in burned areas contains less water
- Downstream water managers might need to prepare for an earlier melt-off that will contribute to reservoirs much earlier than needed.
