Since Western sanctions against Russia took hold in reaction to the Russian land grab in Crimea and the shooting down of a commercial airliner, Moscow has increasingly looked to its former Cold War rival as a key buyer of Russian crude—its most important export. However, the Chinese have a problem in their plans for the yuan.

Clamping and crowbarring are related means of shunting transient/surge energy—which essentially means converting it to heat. There are three main ways to deal with transients/surges: blocking, clamping and “crowbarring.” The last consideration is proximity to the grid (aka “exposure” or “category” level).

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. And oil only seems cheap. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. But let’s realize: defending our nation is never cheap. Its impacts are increasingly unaffordable.

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.

Customers could convert U.S. dollars into amazons—and, at least for the time being, they could convert them back, on demand, at a 1:1 exchange rate, perhaps for a small fee. The amazons could be converted frictionlessly into dollars. This would be an advantage for international consumers who wanted to avoid exchange-rate risk.

The new C5 FUEL yeast delivers fermentation and ethanol yields that set a new standard for conversion of biomass sugars from pretreated corn stover, converting up to 97% of the plant sugars into fuel, the researchers said. The results were presented at the 31 st International Fuel Ethanol Workshop this week in Minneapolis.
