Only takes 30 minutes to get from OOB to Portland, traffic pending. You could also get on 95 via 195 and save some time.

That being said, if you don't like crowds and busyness, OOB is not for you. You'd best be prepared because shit gets fucking packed there, from day to night.

The area near Ferry Beach is a little tamer because hardly anyone knows it exists, including the tourists.

Still better than downtown Portland, though!

Hard for me to quantify & others might disagree, but where we used to have a day or two in the nineties once or twice a summer, I'd say it tends to happen more like three or four times and lasts for several days when it does. Fewer people get by without air conditioning of some sort now, where it used to be quite rare. I'm in southern Maine inland from the coast about 20 miles and bear in mind it's usually cooler on the coast than inland in summer.

Honestly, you're right, it probably won't seem that bad to you. The last time I went to Florida, I couldn't breathe for two days, it seemed so hot to me, and that was in February.

I'm my own person. I'm not an alt of anyone, nor do I have any alts, I'm just an avid user of reddit. Also it seems like you're an alt of u/grape-snapple because this is your first time ever appearing on this subreddit from what I see.

That's an engineering challenge, either you design around the problem or that eliminates another set of potential generation locations.

Sea ice isn't insurmountable, you can submerge generators underneath it, but that needs a system that is self-contained and doesn't require maintenance in the winter. Probably not a solution for grid connections, but small scale for powering beacons or research tasks.

OOB is known as somewhat of a white trash type of town. Bad schools, kinda rundown in many sections. With that said I love OOB and consider it to be the best beach in Maine.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 3 bedroom home within walking distance to the beach, was going for under $200K back in 2017/2018. We ended up buying in Portland so no regrets there.

Working in the manufacturing and grow aspect of marijuana is definitely where its at over the retail aspect unless you are more of a people person. It's certainly great to have friends in the weed shop next door to hear what's going on for deals and new items hitting the shelf so you get the heads up
