Space Environmentalism<p>"As <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a> junk increases, more operators are choosing to launch without any <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insurance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insurance</span></a> at all. To compensate, companies are cutting back on the cost of satellites and launching more of them at faster rates, thus creating a feedback loop as the cheaper satellites break up more easily and add to the problem. Behind the predicament are two vectors moving in opposite directions: The cost of launching satellites is falling, while the cost of insuring them continues to soar.”</p><p><a href="https://www.space.com/space-exploration/satellites/satellites-keep-breaking-up-in-space-insurance-wont-cover-them" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">space.com/space-exploration/sa</span><span class="invisible">tellites/satellites-keep-breaking-up-in-space-insurance-wont-cover-them</span></a></p>

It was a total rip out so only one layer now.</p><p>*Gutters- no downspouts— We had new seamless gutters installed at the same time as the roof</p><p>*Furnace oil tank rust: When the new energy efficient furnace was put in in 2021, we had a new, modern tank installed.</p><p>All of those items they listed as reasons makes me think they, or their underwriting AI program, used old, public photos of the house, inside and exterior. Nobody came, esp to do an inspection of the inside oil tank in the basement.</p><p>The letter has no directions on how to dispute and prevent them from cancelling. It just says I can request a copy of the report they relied on and dispute.
