The lights are going out…

Posted on September 1, 2022 by On the North River

The lights are going out in America. I fear that we shall not see them lit again in our lifetimes.

There can be no question now about what we are looking at.  It’s nothing new.  It has been around a long time and has cost mankind much blood and suffering.

The difference is that this time it’s home is within the United States of America.

It’s Fascism.

If you ever wondered how the German people could have allowed Fascism and the Nazis to rise to power in their country, ask yourself why you are allowing it to happen here.

Today.

Boston Cop Killer gets early release.

The son of the Boston Bomb Squad officer who survived a 1991 explosion that killed his partner wept on Thursday as he begged a federal judge to keep one of the two perpetrators locked up.

“My dad was a big, strong man; and now he’s a weak, scared man,” said Boston Firefighter Frank Foley, the son of Francis Foley, who lost an eye and his partner, Jeremiah Hurley, in the Roslindale blast. “My father is afraid of evil people now. … He barricades his bedroom door. … He doesn’t know this (hearing) is going on. … I implore you: Help me protect my dad.”

Amy Barsky, one of Alfred Trenkler’s three attorneys, asked Judge William Smith to release him out of compassion, casting doubt on his culpability and arguing that he has a heart condition and could die of COVID-19 in prison.

But Boston Police Officer Leeanne Teehan, one of Hurley’s four children, said Trenkler deserved no compassion.

“My family and I are furious that after 24-plus years, we are back here again to fight for justice for my father,” Teehan said. “First, how is it OK to take advantage of a worldwide pandemic to try to keep this man out of prison? My family and I firmly believe that former federal judge Nancy Gertner and her million-dollar team of experts are using their power and their influence to get this defendant out of prison….We beg you to see the unfairness and the loss in our lives.”

I had a bicycle accident today and spend the whole afternoon in the ER.  Mostly sitting on a gurney.  Around me passed the ebb and flow of humanity, some like me with non-life threatening injury and an embarrassed look on their face.   Two young women with obvious mental problems; screaming and cursing on one side, crying and pleading on the other.

But in the compartment on the other side of the hall, an older man about my age, quiescent and confused.  Over the course of several hours as I lay there and caught bits and pieces of conversation as the nurses and doctor interviewed the patient and his daughter.   1993.  Bomb squad.  Partner killed.  Lost an eye.

When I got home tonight I got onto the internet and put it all together.  That man was former Boston Police Office Francis Foley, the daughter was Boston Police Officer Leeanne Teehan.

And last year a Federal judge released the man responsible for the crimes on early release.  On the grounds that he was at ‘risk’ of catching Covid-19 in prison.

I feel like my hospital gurney was at the epicenter of everything wrong with our country today.

British and Irish energy costs climb faster than a Elon spaceship.

“How In The Name Of God”: Shocked Europeans Post Astronomical Energy Bills As ‘Terrifying Winter’ Approaches

BY TYLER DURDEN

The British rate for electricity on the bill is the equivalent of 89 cents per kWh.

In Massachusetts,  one of the highest in the nation, I paid 26 cents per kWh last month.   At British energy rates I’d have been billed $768.96 for a single month.

In an energy intensive civilization Low Cost energy equals prosperity.

For a planet with 8 billion people low to moderate priced energy is the only thing preventing genocide.

We know that such a desirable thing is possible because we had it, just two years ago.

People that would deliberately destroy the worlds ability to find, collect and exploit cheap and reliable energy  are monsters attempting to bring on another holocaust, a thousand times worse than in Germany during WWII. Such a crime deserves another Nuremberg.

Followed by a quick trip to the gallows.

The CAT 994 – Not Exactly a GREEN MACHINE


The Cat 994K Wheel Loader meets your demand for greater productivity by delivering more: More payload. More power. More performance. And more profitability. The 994K builds on the 25-year history of the 994 model and combines it with your input to deliver a bigger, better machine. We made the 994K larger — increasing payload up to 30%. We improved the engine to make it more powerful and efficient. We made it more comfortable and quieter, improved visibility and made it safer for your operators. New serviceability features and a modular design make it more serviceable, and high-strength structures and axles make it more reliable, durable, and longer-lasting. The 994K is built to load more material for a more productive operation and a better bottom line.

This machine is required to move 500 tons of earth/ore which will be refined into one lithium car battery.

It burns 900-1000 gallons of fuel in a 12-hour shift.

Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass is estimated to require up to 75 semi loads of sulfuric acid a day. The (used) acid does not turn into unicorn food like AOC believes.

A battery in an electric car, let’s say an average Tesla, is made of 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc., averaging 750-1,000 pounds of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity.

Electricity is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water (and a tiny fraction of wind and solar). That is the truth, about the lie, of “green” energy. There’s nothing green about the green new deal.

$29,000 to replace EV’s battery, and that’s just the latest problem.

Posted on August 28, 2022 by On the North River


 

First note the mileage, 70K.

To drive 70K in my Camry would, at today’s Biden gasoline prices, cost me $10,700.

And my Camry is larger, more comfortable, and has more cargo space.

Now at the current cost per kWh from my latest bill the additional cost of the electricity to drive 70K miles is $5,460. Again the EV is a smaller car with much less cargo space.  This model is also a hybrid so that would be travelling on plug-in power only.

So to drive those 70k miles in ten years the owner used up a $29,800 battery pack and at least an additional $5,460 +:  Or $35,300.   By the way, the gas tank on my Camry is doing just fine, at 97K miles.

But to get the model year of the car I used the VIN printed on the bill to look up the service history.

https://www.chevyvindecoder.com/VOLT/2012/1G1RB6E4XCU113962/

The first entry in the service history for the car was in 2012:

DRIVER HAD RETURNED HOME, STOPPED CAR, DEPRESSED GEAR SHIFTER BUTTON TO PUT GEAR IN PARK, AND WAS ELECTROCUTED FROM THE POINT OF GEAR SHIFTER.

Not fatally.   But also not the last time the car tried to kill him. Read the whole thing.

The battery pack on a Hybrid is naturally smaller (and less expensive to replace?) than the battery pack on a full EV.   Food for thought.
