It’s hilarious, especially having heard certain anecdotes from former employees of that location. From what I understand, the owners/operators are anything but zen.

‘In Maine everybody thinks,’ is an exaggeration not meant to be interpreted literally. It’s the definition of hyperbole.

I would like to echo u/Grape-Snapple by saying that in my personal experience many Mainers assume that people have a 207 area code. Or they assume that you know the area code for the state is 207. Considering how much of the state relies on tourism and is made up by snowbirds and transplants one would think I wouldn’t have to hear frantic smashing of the delete key once I get to the 8th number of my phone number as often as I do.

Also, while it might not be your intent, your tone was initially aggressive and you appeared to become more aggressive at a faster rate than u/Grape-Snapple.

What’s the cost/kwh? Solar in Maine is about 13 cents, which is about twice the national average, but still pretty darn good. I have a 5kw roof and rarely get an electric bill.

I’m not opposed to tidal at all, btw. I support a diverse energy portfolio, but the economics have to make sense or it’ll never get off the ground.

Decentralized energy production is the future, I think. Well, I hope it is anyway.

It's great animals are well taken care of and most are rescue. It's a great experience for the kids ! I would focus more on people issues in this country than animals in the zoo. Most of these animals suffer more at their local habitat than they do in spas
