Just returned from advising Chinese electric regulators and grid operators for the World Bank. China is building lots of renewables and BESS, but they are still working on how to integrate these resources into spot electric markets. It is true that coal is being used as peakers, not gas or BESS.

Before we replaced her with Van Hollen and later the great Jamie Raskin, MD-8 had a similar cowardly representative — Connie Morella. She would always wait to vote to ensure that she could appear moderate by voting with the Dems when it didn’t matter, when she still caucused with the Republicans.

Wish I could be there. I have fond memories of a hike my Reading HS American history teacher took us in 1972 to mostly follow Revere’s ride. We started at Lechmere late on April 18 and hiked through the night to Concord up Mass Ave.

I am seeing the same. Most of my recent followers are young attractive females with vague bios or aspirational quotes and no posts. I was assuming bots. But why target me. I am barely at 200 followers.

Several EVs like the F-150 and the Nissan Leaf are capable of bi-directional flow. There are several V2G pilots ongoing, including in Maryland.

V2G stands for vehicle to grid. The DRIVE Act uses the term bi-directional electric vehicle systems. These systems have the capability to inject electricity from a vehicle into the electric grid, and not just to premise or building where the EV charger is connected. /1

My grandmother was partially crippled by polio as a child. She went on to be a public health doctor in New Haven, CT. She was so happy when the polio vaccine became widely available. Polio is bad and vaccines are good.
