To keep the subsidies flowing and the public quiescent, green promoters have peddled the delusion that the intermittency of solar and wind power can be solved with big batteries. Now, Elon Musk developed the first grid-sized battery he sold to Australia, unofficially reported for $100 million US. This battery could maintain the Lethbridge grid for 5-8 minutes. If we do the math, we will find that Lethbridge needs to invest $288 billion now and $28.8 billion annually (replacement) for a 10-day battery storage. Without reliable and economic energy storage, renewable technologies simply are not suitable for the Alberta grid, its latitude and climate. Why we keep subsidizing them?

On August 8 the submarine was lifted from the seabed with the help of an underwater vehicle fitted with a large claw. But on its way up, it snapped in two. Instead the bodies of Soviet sailors as well as nuclear torpedoes were recovered.

Marriage, I have learned since Shimu first used the metaphor, pops up often in Taiwanese descriptions of the Taiwan-China relationship. This reminds me of something, and I ask Weng to tell me more about the China Production Party. It is a Taiwanese political party founded by and comprised of lupei, the mainland wives of Taiwanese men, and its founder, Lu Yuexiang, had been in town a few months back to establish a party branch on Kinmen. “She has her own ideal of getting the two—the mainland and Taiwan—back together,” Weng says. “Look at the flag of the China Production Party, it has the five stars of the P.R.C. flag. ‘Production’ also has the meaning of producing babies, of course.”

He opted instead to build a Willys from scratch, with a fabricated chassis and cage, a fiberglass repop body, and the help of a young car builder named Bobby Anderson, who runs Sleds Customs in Apache Junction, Colorado. Bobby modified the frame for the Willys using 2×4 rectangular tubing, and mounted a straight front axle from Speedway Motors and a Ford 9-inch rearend. Within the 10-point polished cage are aluminum seats Bobby fabricated after the fiberglass racing seats Del bought for the project “were thrown in the junk pile,” Del says.

That was absolute tosh. Somewhere buried in that sensationalist fear mongering were some valid questions, but you wouldn’t know it. For starters, how about defining what you mean by "chemical"? Water is a chemical, sugar is a chemical, so where are you drawing the line? This was neither a thorough investigation of the current science, nor a contribution to gaps in the science. It was merely quoting a hand picked group of experts. Disappointing, Catalyst.
