Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #9
March 9-15 2024
The IRS launched its direct file pilot program. Tax payers in 12 states, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, Arizona, Massachusetts, California and New York, can now file their federal income taxes for free on-line directly with the IRS. The IRS plans on taking direct file nation wide for next year's tax season. Tax Day is April 15th so if you're in one of those states you have a month to check it out.
The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights opened an investigation into the death of Nex Benedict. the OCR is investigating if Benedict's school district violated his civil rights by failing to protect him from bullying. President Biden expressed support for trans and non-binary youth in the aftermath of the ruling that Benedict's death was a suicide and encouraged people to seek help in crisis
Vice President Kamala Harris became the first sitting Vice-President (or President) to visit an abortion provider. Harris' historic visit was to a Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul Minnesota. This is the last stop on the Vice-President's Reproductive Rights Tour that has taken her across the country highlighting the need for reproductive health care.
President Biden announced 3.3 billion dollars worth of infrastructure projects across 40 states designed to reconnect communities divided by transportation infrastructure. Communities often split decades ago by highways build in the 1960s and 70s. These splits very often affect communities of color splitting them off from the wider cities and making daily life far more difficult. These reconnection projects will help remedy decades of economic racism.
The Biden-Harris administration is taking steps to eliminate junk fees for college students. These are hidden fees students pay to get loans or special fees banks charged to students with bank accounts. Also the administration plans to eliminate automatic billing for textbooks and ban schools from pocketing leftover money on student's meal plans.
The Department of Interior announced $120 million in investments to help boost Climate Resilience in Tribal Communities. The money will support 146 projects effecting over 100 tribes. This comes on top of $440 million already spent on tribal climate resilience by the administration so far
The Department of Energy announced $750 million dollars in investment in clean hydrogen power. This will go to 52 projects across 24 states. As part of the administration's climate goals the DoE plans to bring low to zero carbon hydrogen production to 10 million metric tons by 2030, and the cost of hydrogen to $1 per kilogram of hydrogen produced by 2031.
The Department of Energy has offered a 2.3 billion dollar loan to build a lithium processing plant in Nevada. Lithium is the key component in rechargeable batteries used it electric vehicles. Currently 95% of the world's lithium comes from just 4 countries, Australia, Chile, China and Argentina. Only about 1% of the US' lithium needs are met by domestic production. When completed the processing plant in Thacker Pass Nevada will produce enough lithium for 800,000 electric vehicle batteries a year.
The Department of Transportation is making available $1.2 billion in funds to reduce decrease pollution in transportation. Available in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico the funds will support projects by transportation authorities to lower their carbon emissions.
The Geothermal Energy Optimization Act was introduced in the US Senate. If passed the act will streamline the permitting process and help expand geothermal projects on public lands. This totally green energy currently accounts for just 0.4% of the US' engird usage but the Department of Energy estimates the potential geothermal energy supply is large enough to power the entire U.S. five times over.
The Justice for Breonna Taylor Act was introduced in the Senate banning No Knock Warrants nationwide
A bill was introduced in the House requiring the US Postal Service to cover the costs of any laid fees on bills the USPS failed to deliver on time
The Senate Confirmed 3 more Biden nominees to be life time federal Judges, Jasmine Yoon the first Asian-America federal judge in Virginia, Sunil Harjani in Illinois, and Melissa DuBose the first LGBTQ and first person of color to serve as a federal judge in Rhode Island. This brings the total number of Biden judges to 185

I want to lower my expectations for Tommy being next episode.
But I’m so curious about how they will land the plane. I saw the promo, when the plane going down, and Athena's hand seems not on the control stick, so I think this scene is not landing, maybe something happened to the plane, so the plane looks like going down suddenly (bcuz if that scene is landing, that ankle, not logic). Also I saw the plane explode and no passengers in the seats, I could think they had landed but the plane for some reason would explode. The man looks like trying to see who hasn’t left the plane and evacuate them safely, this job usually is done by the captain when in emergencies. I’m not an aviation expert😭 Just a fan of ACI. Damn I’m so curious
Oh, I love that show.
Very good, top of the class, that is not the angle you want for a landing. You should be slowing down and gently touching the ground instead of entering a high speed nose dive. Looking at the promo, I think something is going very wrong with the plane? You can see in one shot the cabin goes dark, you have people screaming and sparks flying everywhere. Maybe that's why they can't make it to the airport? And have to land on the nearest highway instead?
We don't know for sure the extent of the damage caused by the collision and the subsequent debris, so a lot of things can suddenly go wrong: engine fire/failure, lithium battery explosion, electrical fires etc.
The year after the brand spanking new Boeing 787 entered service, lithium batteries on board 2 different aircrafts suddenly caught on fire, leading to a brief grounding of the type. IMO that's the beginning of Boeing's recent downfall.
A lot of things can go wrong after touchdown, during the rollout as well. I don't know if you've watched or remember the Southern Airways Flight 242 episode, the DC-9 suffered dual engine failure due to water and hail ingestion and it was forced to land on a rural highway. The landing itself was a bit bumpy, but otherwise successful, it was during the rollout that its left wing hit a gas station, triggering an explosion and throwing it sharply to the left, causing it to ultimately crash into a woodland area. That highway with Bobby and the 119 truck on it seems wider and relatively free of obstacle, but the plane can still hit something. The landing can be a bit unstable and one of the engines scrap the road, igniting jet fuel? Or it can be simply smoking hot brakes setting some leaking fuel on fire.
As for Tommy's presence in the episode, the writers can always pull the off duty card if they don't want him there. But if he is on duty, well, you see the 217 truck there, so he should be there. If they can fit Tommy in a short scene in 8x01 to establish his presence in Buck and Eddie's private life, they can make him part of the rescue effort to demonstrate his connection to Buck and the 118's professional life as well. He can also be in a helicopter, flying injured people to the hospital, but if that's the case, don't expect to see him doing it. I seriously doubt the show would spend that much money to rent a helicopter mockup for one short scene that doesn't contribute to the major plot. We might get luck and see him getting in/out of the chopper, but it'll probably be merely a mention.
I miss him, I hope to see his face on Friday, so I'm praying he's working on the ground this time.

Basic understanding of battery energy storage system: battery, PCS, BMS
With the increasingly serious global energy crisis and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, energy storage technology has become one of the important means to solve energy problems.
Battery energy storage systems are currently one of the most common and practical energy storage technologies. In the battery energy storage system, the battery, PCS, and BMS are its most basic components. Let’s take a look at these three basic concepts.
Battery
The battery is the core part of the battery energy storage system. It is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of four parts: positive electrode, negative electrode, electrolyte and separator. There are many types of batteries, the common ones include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries, etc. Among them, lithium-ion batteries have become the most commonly used battery type in current battery energy storage systems due to their high energy density, long life, and environmental protection.
PCS
PCS is the core equipment in the battery energy storage system. It is a device that converts the electric energy stored in the battery into AC electric energy and supplies it to the grid or users. PCS mainly consists of inverters, transformers, controllers, etc. Its main function is to convert DC power into AC power, control the input and output of power, and ensure the safety and stability of the system. The performance of PCS directly affects the operating efficiency and service life of the battery energy storage system.
BMS
BMS is the abbreviation of battery management system and is an important part of the battery energy storage system. BMS is mainly composed of monitoring module, control module, communication module and other parts. Its main function is to monitor and control the status of the battery in real time, including battery voltage, current, temperature, SOC and other parameters. At the same time, BMS can also protect and control the battery, such as overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, etc., to ensure the safety and life of the battery.
To sum up, batteries, PCS, and BMS are the three basic components of battery energy storage systems. As the core part, the battery is responsible for storing energy; PCS converts the electric energy stored in the battery into AC electric energy; BMS monitors and protects the battery in real time to ensure the safety and life of the battery. In the design and operation of battery energy storage systems, the coordination of the three is crucial. Only in this way can the efficient, stable and safe operation of the battery energy storage system be achieved.

EV Charging on the Go: Tips for Long Journeys
Embarking on a long journey with an electric vehicle (EV) requires more than a full charge and a sense of adventure—it demands meticulous planning and a keen understanding of EV charging logistics. For many, the thought of long-distance travel in an EV is daunting, but with the right preparation, it can be as smooth as any trip taken in a gasoline-powered vehicle. Let’s explore the best practices for EV charging when you're on the move.
Pre-Travel Planning
Before setting out, a well-planned route is your best tool. Utilize apps and websites that specialize in EV travel, such as PlugShare or A Better Routeplanner, to map out your trip. These services provide real-time data on charger locations and types, availability, and may even offer insights into your expected energy consumption based on your vehicle’s model and driving conditions. Statistics suggest that preemptive planning can reduce charging time by as much as 40%, turning potential hours at charging stations into mere minutes.
Understanding Charger Types
Knowing the differences between Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers (DCFC) is crucial. Level 1 chargers are your standard household outlets and are impractical for long journeys due to their slow charging speeds. Level 2 chargers offer a faster charging rate, typically adding about 20 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. However, for the quickest boost, seek out DCFC stations that can charge compatible EVs up to 80% in around 30 minutes. Keep in mind, the availability of DCFC stations can vary widely by region.
Charging Etiquette and Timing
Charge station etiquette is essential. Always check the station's status before plugging in and adhere to any time limits. Peak times can often lead to longer waits, so consider charging during off-peak hours if possible. A recent survey indicated that charging stations are least occupied mid-week and late at night. By avoiding peak times, you not only save time but may also benefit from lower charging rates offered by some networks.
Battery Management
Battery health is paramount for efficient charging. Aim to keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged—this is the sweet spot for lithium-ion batteries found in most EVs. Charging beyond 80% often significantly slows down as the battery management system works to protect battery health. Also, avoid depleting your battery below 20% to maintain its longevity and ensure you have enough charge to reach the next station if one is unexpectedly out of service.
Membership and Payment
Various charging networks have different payment structures and membership options. Some offer discounted rates for members, while others may require a subscription for access. Signing up for memberships ahead of time can not only save money but also reduce the time spent at the charger, as members often enjoy shorter authorization times before charging begins.
Vehicle Preparation
Optimize your vehicle's condition before heading out. Tires should be properly inflated to reduce rolling resistance, and excess weight should be removed to increase efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, for every 100 pounds of excess weight carried, your vehicle's efficiency can drop by 1%. Furthermore, use your EV’s eco mode, if available, to extend your range by moderating the vehicle's energy use.
Emergency Planning
Even with thorough planning, always prepare for the unexpected. Keep a portable charger on hand for emergency situations, and know the location of Level 1 outlets along your route as a last resort. Maintaining a list of contact numbers for roadside assistance that caters to EVs can be a lifesaver in unforeseen circumstances.
Travelling long distances in an EV doesn't have to be a source of anxiety. With the rapidly expanding infrastructure and increasingly efficient technology, EV charging on the go is becoming more user-friendly. By following these tips, planning effectively, and staying informed, your electric road trip can be as enjoyable as it is eco-friendly.

These panels utilise a transparent back sheet or glass to enable the absorption of sunlight reflected from the ground or surrounding surfaces. Bifacial solar panels have the potential to increase energy output by up to 30% compared to traditional single-sided panels. Their adoption is gaining traction in the Sunshine Coast, where the reflection from the region's sandy beaches and water bodies can enhance their performance.
Solar Panel Optimization and Monitoring Systems:
Advanced monitoring and optimization systems have emerged to improve the efficiency and performance of solar panels. These systems use real-time data to monitor individual panel performance, detect faults or shading issues, and optimise the system's output. By identifying and addressing any issues promptly, solar panel owners on the Sunshine Coast can ensure their systems operate at peak efficiency, maximizing their energy production.
Smart Inverter Technology:
Inverters play a crucial role in converting the direct current (DC) produced by solar panels into usable alternating current (AC). Smart inverter technology enables advanced features such as monitoring, remote control, and grid integration capabilities. These inverters can communicate with the power grid, allowing for better grid stability and enabling homeowners to benefit from feed-in tariffs and demand response programs.
Energy Storage Systems:
While not specific to solar panels themselves, energy storage systems have seen significant advancements and integration with solar panel installations on the Sunshine Coast. Energy storage solutions, such as lithium-ion batteries, allow excess solar energy to be stored during the day for use during night time or cloudy periods. This technology enhances energy self-sufficiency, provides backup power, and allows for a higher degree of energy independence. These technological advancements in solar panels on the Sunshine Coast contribute to increased energy efficiency, improved performance, and enhanced reliability of solar energy systems. They enable residents, businesses, and institutions to harness the abundant sunlight resources in the region and further accelerate the transition to clean, renewable energy.
Environmental Concerns Of Solar Panels On The Sunshine Coast
Solar panels on the Sunshine Coast offer numerous environmental benefits, but there are also some considerations and potential concerns associated with their deployment. Here are a few environmental factors to consider:
Land Use and Habitat Impact
Large-scale solar installations require significant land area. If not carefully planned, this can lead to the loss or fragmentation of natural habitats, affecting local ecosystems and wildlife. To mitigate this impact, it is important to prioritise the use of already disturbed or underutilised lands, as well as implementing appropriate habitat conservation and restoration measures.
Manufacturing and Disposal
The production of solar panels involves the extraction of raw materials, such as silicon, and energy-intensive manufacturing processes. While the energy pay back period (the time it takes for a solar panel to generate the amount of energy used in its production) is relatively short, it is essential to ensure environmentally responsible manufacturing practices, resource conservation, and responsible waste management throughout the life cycle of solar panels, including their eventual disposal or recycling.
Chemicals and Waste Management
Some solar panels contain substances, such as lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals. Adequate handling and disposal procedures are necessary to prevent environmental contamination during the manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and end-of-life stages of solar panels. Sunshine Coast Solar Panels follow proper recycling programs and regulations that are crucial to minimise the environmental impact of waste associated with solar panel systems.
Visual Impact
Solar installations, especially large-scale utility projects, may alter the visual landscape, particularly in pristine or scenic areas. Balancing the visual impact of solar panels with the benefits they offer is a consideration that should be considered during the planning and design stages. We can advise the most suitable scenario for your installation at Sunshine Coast Solar Panels.
Despite these environmental concerns, it is important to note that solar panels remain one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy sources available.
By implementing appropriate environmental management practices, such as responsible siting, sustainable manufacturing, and proper waste management, the environmental footprint of solar panels on the Sunshine Coast can be minimised, allowing for a transition to a greener and more sustainable energy future.
The environmental benefits of solar energy, including significant greenhouse gas emissions reduction and mitigating climate change, often outweigh these concerns. By implementing appropriate environmental management practices, such as responsible siting, sustainable manufacturing, and proper waste management, the environmental footprint of solar panels on the Sunshine Coast can be minimised, allowing for a transition to a greener and more sustainable energy future.

Top: 1981 ZEA Motors eCoMoTo Middle: 1989 ZEA Motors ZETA Concept Bottom: 2001 ZEA Motors eCoMoTo II
ZEA Motors was founded in 1976 as a startup electric/hybrid car company, something along the lines of a "Tesla for the working man" in the 1970’s. Their first foray was a little 3-door city hatchback they called the eCoMoTo, which was sold either with a 1.1L combustion engine or an electric drivetrain. It was the first electric car to use a lithium-ion-phosphate battery, and featured a specially-designed brushless DC motor designed specifically for the car. It sold well, and in 1989, ZEA was set to release their second electric car, called the ZETA. It was set to feature a purely electric drivetrain with regenerative braking, and a 170 mile range (a slight improvement from the eCoMoTo's 150 mile range). However, due to changing regulations, ZEA were unable to actually produce the ZETA, and were forced to return to the drawing board. The years came and went, and ZEA released other vehicles to keep afloat, though they were mostly geared towards the industrial market. Finally, in 2001 ZEA announced the grand return of the eCoMoTo nameplate, this time as an electric 5-door hatchback. Revealed at the 2000 MotorWorld autoshow, it was met with nostalgic praise, but some skepticism as to whether or not it would really be a worthy successor. An interview with one of the developers of the eCoMoto II (who chose to remain anonymous) revealed that the car was originally going to use the ZETA nameplate, but it was decided that such a name would be better suited to a car more in line with the ZEA's vision for the original ZETA concept.
