Shining a Light on Tradition: The Cultural Impact of Solar Power in Remote Communities

Today, we are entering a world bathed in sunlight, not just literally, but figuratively. This is the reality for many remote and indigenous communities around the globe who are embracing solar energy. But the impact goes beyond simply flipping a switch. Solar adoption is quietly weaving itself into the very fabric of these communities, transforming not just lifestyles and economies, but also cultural practices and traditions. 

Flickering Hope: Lighting Up Remote Lives 

Having access to dependable energy has long been a pipe dream for many rural communities. Diesel generators, often the only option, are expensive, noisy, and environmentally harmful. Enter solar power, a clean and sustainable solution that harnesses the abundant sunshine these regions naturally receive. Ground-mounted solar installations or even floating solar panels on lakes and reservoirs are changing the game. Homes that were once shrouded in darkness after sunset are now illuminated, allowing children to study longer and families to gather under a brighter sky. This newfound access to electricity is a fundamental shift, empowering communities and fostering a sense of progress. 

Empowering Hands: Building a Brighter Future 

The benefits extend beyond basic lighting. Solar panel installation projects are creating new opportunities in these communities. Locals are being trained in solar technology, fostering a sense of ownership and creating jobs within their own communities. In addition to bringing in much-needed revenue, this gives people and communities the power to take control of their energy requirements. Imagine a young lady from a far-off village training to be a proficient solar specialist, her expertise lighting not only houses but also a way forward for a better future. 

Weaving Sunlight into Tradition 

The cultural impact of solar adoption is a story waiting to be told. In some communities, solar power is being used to support traditional practices. Solar-powered refrigerators are keeping food fresh, ensuring the preservation of indigenous diets and cultural foodways. Solar-powered water pumps are bringing clean water closer to homes, aligning with traditional reverence for water and the natural world. This integration of solar technology with cultural practices creates a beautiful synergy, demonstrating that progress doesn't have to come at the cost of tradition. 

Challenges and the Road Ahead 

Of course, challenges remain. Installing solar panels can be expensive initially, and in distant locations, there may not be as much technical know-how available for upkeep. However, innovative financing models and partnerships with organizations like GREW are helping bridge these gaps. 

Lighting the Way Forward 

For decades, remote communities relied on noisy, polluting diesel generators, limiting power and shrouding nights in darkness. This hampered education, livelihoods, and even food preservation. But a new dawn is breaking. Solar power, clean and abundant, is changing the game. Ground-mounted installations or floating solar panels on lakes are bringing reliable light to homes once bathed in flickering candlelight. This shift from diesel to sunshine-powered electricity lays the foundation for a brighter future, where tradition and progress can thrive together. 

GREW is a prime example of a company that is dedicated to both community development and sustainability. Their three-stage fully backward integrated manufacturing ensures quality and affordability, making solar power more accessible to remote communities. Their commitment to providing clean energy solutions to those in need is demonstrated by their solar module plant in Kathua, India. GREW’s ground-mounted solar and floating solar panels projects are changing lives, and their module manufacturing facility guarantees the high standards required for effective implementation. By working together, companies like GREW and forward-thinking communities can ensure that the light of solar power continues to illuminate not just homes, but also cultural traditions and a brighter future for generations to come.

adventures in aerospace

So I recently started working at Large Aircraft Manufacturer. (LAM) The plant I work at employs 30,000 people. The company as a whole employs 170,000. Usually you only hear about LAM when something goes wrong. But no matter how bumbling it seems from the outside, it's way worse on the inside.

Three months after my first day, I have been "graduated" from "training." In reality, I'm still completely worthless on the floor: the training center has given me a paltry subset of the production certificates I need to actually to do my assigned job. A commonly cited statistic at LAM is that a hundred men a day are retiring, each one representing decades of experience, walking out the door, forever. The training center is in the unenviable position of managing a generational replacement, and have resorted to shoveling heaps of zoomers through as fast as possible. (As one of the few people with a visible hairline and who is not wearing a Roblox graphic tee; I am frequently mistaken for an instructor, and asked where the bathroom is, what time the next class starts, etc)

In theory, the training center knows what shop I'm assigned to, and can simply assign me all the required classes. In practice, they do the absolute minimum amount of training in a desperate attempt to relive the crowding in their handful of computer labs and tell graduates to pick up their certs later.

Of course, the irresistible force of the schedule meets the immovable object of the FAA. If you don't have the required production certificate to perform a particular job, you don't touch the airplane. Full stop, end of story.

And so the curtain opens on the stage. It reveals a single senior mechanic, supervising a mechanic who finally received all the certs and is being qualified on this particular job, surrounded by another three trainees. Trainees are less than nothing, absolute scum. At best we can fetch and carry. Mostly we are expected to stay out of the way. And the senior mechanic is only senior in title. He is one of six assembler-installers who is certified to actually work on the plane, out of twenty people on the crew, and spends every day with a permanent audience. He is 23 years old.

("Mechanic"? If you think the jargon at your job is bad, try joining a company that's a century old. Assembler-installers are universally referred to as "mechanics", despite doing work that's nothing like what a car mechanic does, and who are generally paid far worse than FAA certified A&P mechanics. Mechanics are the 11 bravos of LAM, grunts, the single largest category of worker. The tip of the spear. Hooah!)

Large Aircraft Manufacturer is in a dilly of a pickle. All of its existing airframe designs are hilariously antiquated. It tried designing a brand new plane from a clean sheet, and lost billions of dollars to a decade-long integration hell. After that, to save money, it tried just tacking bigger engines on an older design without changing anything else, and the stupid things plowed into the ground in an excruciatingly public manner.

LAM is now trying a middle road. It is upgrading one of its designs that is merely middle aged, rather than ancient, and with proven, de-risked components built in-house, rather than scattering them to subcontractors across the world. And it's still blowing past deadlines and burning billions of dollars LAM really doesn't have to spare.

This is the program I've been assigned to.

Advanced Midbody - Carbon Wing has taken the bold step of just tacking on carbon fiber wings to a conventional aluminum fuselage. Shockingly, AMCW is now stuck in lightning strike testing, due to that troublesome join between conductive aluminum and conductive...ish carbon fiber. But LAM, confident as ever, or perhaps driven by complaints of its customers, has announced that full rate production will begin just next year. Thus the tide of newhires. According to the schedule, we're supposed to jerk from one wingset a month to one wingset a week. That's not going to happen, but, oh well, orders from above move down at the speed of thought, while reality only slowly trickles upwards.

"120 inch pounds? Really?"

I startle upright. I have observed one hundred pi bracket installs, and I will observe a hundred more before I can touch aircraft structure. This is the first disagreement I've witnessed. A more advanced trainee is questioning the torque spec on a fastener. It is not an entirely foolish question-- most sleeve bolts we use are in the 40 in-pounds range. Doubling it that is unusual. I cough the dust off my unused vocal cords and venture an opinion.

"Well hey I could look it up? I guess"

The lead mechanic glances at me, surprised that I'm still awake, then looks away. Excuse enough for me!

I unfold myself from the stool I've been sitting on for the last four hours then hobble over to the nearest Shared Production Workstation.

We do not get Ikea-style step by step instructions on how to put together the airplane. Like any company that's been around for long enough, LAM is a tangled wad of scar tissue, ancient responses to forgotten trauma. If you state a dimension twice, in two different places, then it is possible for an update to only change one of those dimensions, thereby making the engineering drawing ambiguous. Something real bad must have happened in the past as a result of that, so now an ironclad rule is that critical information is only stated once, in one place, a single source of truth.

As a result, the installation plan can be a little... vague. Step 040 might be something like "DRILL HOLE TO SIZE AND TORQUE FASTENERS TO SPEC". What hole size? What torque spec?

Well, they tell you. Eventually.

(Image from public Google search)

You are given an engineering drawing, and are expected to figure out how things go together yourself. (Or, more realistically, are told how it's done by coworkers) Step by step instructions aren't done because then dozens of illustrations would have to be updated with every change instead of just one, and drawings are updated surprisingly frequently.

Fasteners are denoted by a big plus sign, with a three letter fastener code on the left and the diameter on the right, like so: "XNJ + 8"

To get the actual part number, we go to the fastener callout table:

(Note the use of a trade name in the table above. There is nothing a mechanic loves more than a good trademark. Permanent straight shank fasteners are always called HI-LOKs™. It's not a cable tie, it's a Panduit™. It's not a wedgelock, it's a Cleco™. Hey man, pass me that offset drill. What, you mean a Zephyr™? Where'd the LAMlube™ go? This also means you have to learn the names of everything twice, one name on the installation plan, and one name it's referred to in conversation.)

We find XNJ on that table, and fill in the diameter: BACB30FM8A. Now we look up the spec table for that fastener:

The eagle eyed among you might note that there is no "diameter: 8" on that table. As a LAM mechanic, you are expected to simply know that "diameter" is measured in 32nds of an inch, which simplifies down to 1/4.

(LAM preserves many old-school skills like fraction reduction and memorizing decimal equivalents like this, like flies caught in amber. Not least is the universal use of Imperial units. Many American manufacturers have been browbeaten into adding parenthetical conversions. Not LAM! Any risk at all of a mechanic seeing a second number and using it by accident is too great, and anyway, it violates SSOT. Lengths are in inches and feet, weights are in pounds, volume is in gallons and if you don't like it then you can go eat shit!)

After 10 minutes of following references, I arrive at that table, print it off, highlight the correct row, and hand it off to my senior mechanic.

"Great, thanks."

Gratified that I have enhanced shareholder value, I sit back down, and immediately fall asleep. Another day living the dream.

Satisfactory: The Full Ficsonium-Chain Nuclear Power Plant

Okay.

So.

I did it.

The thing I love doing most in Satisfactory is creating giant power plants that give me way more power than I need so I don't have to worry about my overhead while making other things. It's the thing that really captured and hooked me into a loyal player.

In the 1.0 release, they added a way to fully engage your uranium resources and make plutonium power without unsinkable waste product, by adding a third step called Ficsonium.

And so the gauntlet was thrown down.

Starting out, making this all work looked impossible. But slowly, I whittled away at it, optimized it, until I had a workable plan. And now that I've built it, I'm going to subject you all to the write-up.

93.75 Uranium, 93.75 Sulfur, 56.25 Silica, and 281.25 Quickwire goes into 3 Manufacturers (overclocked to 125%) to make 75 Encased Uranium Cells (using the Infused Uranium Cell alternate recipe).

(All material numbers are in parts-per-minute, by the way, in case that confuses anybody.)

Those E.U. Cells go straight into 3 more Manufacturers (again, overclocked to 125%, and the Cell outputs/inputs are 1:1), along with 7.5 Electromagnetic Control Rods, 2.25 Crystal Oscillators, and 7.5 Rotors to make 2.25 Uranium Fuel Rods (using the Uranium Fuel Unit alternate recipe).

The Uranium Fuel Rods are fed into 6 Nuclear Power Plants (each overclocked to 187.5%, so the equivalent of 11.25 power plants). Each fuel rod Manufacturer splits its outputs to two of the power plants. The power plants are fed with 450 cubic meters of water each from the framework above (except for the nearest one, which is also taking water byproduct from the next stage). Together, the uranium power plants produce 28,125 MW of electrical power and 112.5 Uranium Waste.

The Uranium Waste is quickly conveyed beneath the floor over to three Blenders (overclocked to 150%), along with another 112.5 raw Uranium, 67.5 Nitric Acid, and 112.5 Sulfuric Acid, to make 450 Non-Fissile Uranium (using the Fertile Uranium alternate recipe). This also produces 180 water byproduct, which is fed back into the first uranium power plant.

Each Blender feeds into its own row of 2 Particle Accelerators, for a total of 6. (No overclocking here, for once!) The Non-Fissile Uranium is mixed with 60 total Aluminum Casings to produce 60 Encased Plutonium Cells (using the Instant Plutonium Cell alternate recipe).

The Encased Plutonium Cells are fed into 4 Manufacturers (overclocked to 200% - and we're back), along with 36 Steel Beams, 12 Electromagnetic Control Rods, and 20 Heat Sinks, to make a whole whopping 2 Plutonium Fuel Rods!

(Everything up to this point is considered "Stage One" of the overall nuclear power plant. At this juncture, I left the remaining power plants unconnected and simply destroyed the Plutonium Fuel Rods in the AWESOME Sink while I took a break and worked on other parts with the electrical power the uranium plants alone were giving me. Everything after this is considered "Stage Two," the even more complicated part.)

Once the rest of the chain was ready, I connected the Plutonium Fuel Rod Manufacturer outputs to 8 more nuclear power plants (overclocked to 250%, effectively 20 power plants!), 2 for each line. Each plant gets 600 water from overhead as well. This alone gives me another 50,000 MW of power!

...But it also produces 20 Plutonium Waste, which until 1.0 was completely indestructible and had to be stored away in a dedicated dump indefinitely.

(Sure, people have done the math. With enough space, you can buy yourself literal months of in-game uptime before your dump fills up with waste and the power plants become inoperable, in exchange for writing off that part of the map. But why give yourself any such hassle at all if you don't have to? Sustainability is a part of efficiency!)

The Plutonium Waste is brought over to 2 Particle Accelerators and combined with 20 Singularity Cells and 400 Dark Matter Residue (neither of which are cheap!) to make 20 Ficsonium.

The Ficsonium, 20 Electromagnetic Control Rods (again! so many!), 400 Ficsite Trigons (!!!), and 200 Excited Photonic Matter (dirt simple, actually - phew!) are fed into 4 Quantum Encoders to make 10 Ficsonium Fuel Rods. This also produces 200 Dark Matter Residue as a byproduct, which I put into a Particle Accelerator to make Dark Matter Crystals that I just toss into an AWESOME Sink.

(If you're smart, you could just loop the byproduct here back into the previous step and cut that input in half, but... I just could not be bothered this time. I wanted this plant fully operational as soon as possible.)

And finally, the Ficsonium Fuel Rods are sent directly from the Quantum Encoders to 4 Nuclear Power Plants (overclocked to 250% again, effectively 10 power plants) and mixed with 600 overhead water each to produce another 25,000 MW of power and absolutely zero waste or byproduct.

For a grand total of... 103,125 MW!

(And that's before adding bonus power from Alien Power Augmenters later!)

This was a massive build that took up the entire swamp region of the map (because to hell with the swamp, all my homies hate the swamp and their eldritch-moving alpha spiders). There's an interim layer of the platform for "spaghetti," or conveying the materials to where they need to go, and then just about everything needed for this process was made from scratch from within the swamp or close-by-ish.

With one exception: I drone'd in Pressure Conversion Cubes that I was making elsewhere for the Nuclear Pasta that's required for the Singularity Cells. Having to make Radio Control Units and Fused Modular Frames from scratch on top of everything else just would've tipped this over the breaking point for me personally.

And that's that. Probably the biggest power plant I'll ever want to make in Satisfactory, at least on my own in single-player. I've taken the gauntlet and thrown it back. And now I have more than enough power to finish the rest of the game.

Thanks for reading! I worked way too hard on this whole project.

(Also, for those who may be looking at this flow and thinking, "Holy crap, you'll need hundreds of Reanimated SAM and thus thousands of SAM!" - here's a pro tip: Somersloops. Overclock the Constructors making your Reanimated SAM to max and then throw in 1 Somersloop. Instantly improves the recipe from 4:1 to 2:1. I'm dead certain this was an intended part of SAM balancing, because holy crap there's just not enough of it on the map otherwise.)

[WESKER'S REPORT / EXTRA]

A very intriguing incident . . . A series of bizarre murder cases have been occurring at a wintry village in the rural Caucasus region of Russia. The villagers there are clamoring about a legendary monster, "Almas", having risen from the dead . . . This wretched state of affairs effortlessly reminds me of those initial bizarre cases in Raccoon Forest. Three kilometers away from that village there stands an antiquated chemical plant built during the Soviet era, ownership of which, according to our investigation, currently lies with a prestigious European aristocrat. Foreign capital appears to have been invested five years ago for undertaking major underground development. Geological surveys reveal the presence of solid bedrock, perfect for constructing a certain kind of facility. It would seem as though we've solved the puzzle. Umbrella has shamelessly clung to life in the five years since Raccoon's annihilation. Despite facing accusations of leaking the virus along with their stock prices crashing, they unfurled the trial with a campaign claiming it all to be a U.S. Government conspiracy, which has been successful in stalling for time until their eventual death sentence. Fortunate for Umbrella, then, that they had been colluding with the government from the beginning. A state naturally has secrets of its own that can be dusted off, and their survival tactic was to sell those off piece by piece to the court and mass media in order to foment public skepticism. Something akin to madness lurks more or less within every person and organization, even among nations. The most deranged in that incident, however, was none other than Umbrella. A simple-minded Umbrella is exhibiting signs of a revival. B.O.W.s are starting to overrun war zones. They are supplying those B.O.W.s as weapons. We've also received reports that, beneath the surface, Umbrella have arranged a framework for manufacturing bioweapons while operating ships to transport them. The time has come. They tinker with the t-Virus, cultivate mutant organisms, then sell them. Moreover, even if they were to yield certain results, with their capacity for imagination incapable of treating the virus as anything more than a vector for bioweapon production, they will only end up exposing their defects at some other point in time. The "Philosopher's Stone" is destined for the hands of a truly worthy alchemist. The unworthy must be taken off the stage. This place is sure to be the site of Umbrella's end.

Report from Superintendent Henderson to the Commissioner requesting assistance in rounding up and arresting illicit distillers and bootleggers on Indian Reservations.

Record Group 75: Records of the Bureau of Indian AffairsSeries: Subject Numeric Correspondence Files

Cherokee, N.C., May 10, 1919. Honorable Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Sells, A condition has arisen on the Cherokee Reservation in regard to the manufacture and sale of whiskey which I deem it my duty to advise you of and ask for assistance in breaking it up. Prior to a few months ago I had very little trouble along this line and with the aid of the county and stage officials was able to cope with the situation, but since whiskey has arisen to the enormous price of $20 a gallon there has been an epidemic of "moonshining" and bootleging in the mountain country and I regret to say that the Cherokee Reservation is no exception. Two large lumbering industries have sprung up adjoining and near the reservation that have brought several hundred whites among whom there are a number of undesirable citizens. About one month ago an officer of the Internal Revenue Department aided by some of my employees raided a plant on the reservation located quite near the home of an Indian and destroyed it but failed to get the operators. On May 2, the sheriff of Swain County and I destroyed a plant near the house of a squaw-man but failed to get the operators, and on the 12th, inst. a party of my employees and I captured a plant in operation and the three operators two of whom are mixed blood Indians. I am confident that a number of other such plants are being operated from time to time on and near the reservation by parties so adroit and cunning in the art of "moonshining" and bootlegging making it well nigh impossible for those of us who are known to them to have a reasonable degree of success in hunting them down. In view of these facts, the thought has come to me that you might consider detailing at least two of Mr. Larson's force to aid the civil authorities and me in clearing the Cherokee Reservation of these undesirables who are debauching the Indians and nullifying to a degree the efforts we are putting forth on the reservation for good. They should come among the people in disguise prepared to stay a month or more before making any arrests. Sincerely yours, Superintendent

since I haven’t worked on it in ages, here’s a basic ah desc of my three spec bio worlds so far because e (low quality lol)

the first one is a planet orbiting a binary sun- and therefore has a higher ambient radiation level than earth- in a period similar with the Carboniferous period, with loads of sunny cloudy misty jungles, and sprawling moist swamps- and crazy extreme mountains. There wre crazy messed up bacteria and diseases on said planet, and giant fungi. Way Higher oxygen levels, and slightly higher gravity. It has no moons. The sentient species there is a reptilian hexapod race (tribal stage- no metal working yet)- non humanoid- who can breath underwater, and are disease resistant and nomaid.. The second one is almost entirely an ocean, and rather warm, with a few small islands speckled here and there. Instead of traditional seasons, they have a hurricane season, two in between seasons, and calm season- and during each season the tides all seem to go in a different cardinal direction. This planet had plenty of crazy aquatic biomes, promoting diverse aquatic life. It orbits A star similar to earth’s, and has over a dozen small moons orbiting it. Its gravity is pretty much the same as earth’s. Their sentient species are a semi nomadic aquatic humanoid race- with two subspecies. The first one are the nomadic semi landwellers, who live on land during the calm season, and follow the tides wherever they bring them in the other seasons- and the second subspecies lives deeper underwater, on the floors on the shallower oceans, and aren’t nomadic. They are in a early medieval stage. The third planet was once lush- orbiting an older star, and orbited by two moons. But the space-farer six armed partially humanoid insectoid race on it (who doesn’ really colonize other planets, but they do mine them) has utterly destroyed the ecosystem with the over manufacturing of things- the smog so thick sun doesn’t reach the ground any longer, and the air so acidic that the water is no longer drinkable to any other race. If it weren’t for how hardy these insectoids were, the air itself would choke them. Literally everyone lives in extreme poverty- and the average lifespan is mid twenties- as they toll away for their Leader- the only one of them whose wings aren’ surgically removed, and he’s lived for centuries (which was normal before the pollution and near inability to grow plants that have much nutrients in it. As its a much older planet, there’s barley any mountains, and little geological shifting (ie: earthquakes). The oceans are practically dried up, only a few heavily acidic lakes remaining.

So You Want to Grow Strawberries

Strawberries, unlike many popular garden crops, are perennials, so before you even begin planting them, it’s worth considering where they’re going to go. Where are the walking paths through your garden? What’s around the strawberries – will you have enough space to get in and weed them? Enough space to get around them to mow? Strawberries reproduce most commonly via runners – special stems that grow from the mother plant and root in the dirt around them to form daughter plants – which means that you will need clear access all around the plant to keep them from staging a takeover.

If you’re growing strawberries to eat, it’s also worth considering how many strawberries you believe you or your household can consume. Some strawberries bear fruit all at once and others a little at a time, but almost all varieties have been selectively bred for high yields. Some sources I’ve found say that one plant can produce up to three pounds of fruit per season – and many manufacturers will sell plants as bare roots in a multi-pack. When I first bought strawberries, I found them in packs of 25 roots and purposefully decided not to plant them all, both for space considerations and because I knew there was no way my household could consume 75 pounds of strawberries in a season.

Special Concerns

As mentioned, strawberries reproduce by runners and are known to be fairly aggressive in their growth. Care will need to be taken to remove the runners when new plants are not wanted. Additionally, it’s worth noting that – while strawberries are perennials, they are not immortal and often experience a drop-off in productivity within a few years of being planted. The goal then, or at least what I’m shooting for, is to curate enough daughter plants to replace the aging mother plants while not allowing so many daughter plants that you lose control of your strawberry patch.

Second, strawberries have shallow root systems. This means they’re sensitive to drought (if the top level of soil dries out, so do they) and excessive heat (same deal). They, therefore, have high watering needs and need to be checked to make sure they’re not suffering. I’ve seen recommendations for drip irrigation methods, but for my home garden, I’m just going to go out at night with a watering can.

How to Plant

This is for folks who already know what variety they’re going to plant. For others, please check out my strawberry variety post.

There are a couple of ways to plant strawberries in the home garden. The way I picked was the matted row system - which the internet tells me is 18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. I’m dealing with limited space and also a lot of plants, so I will actually be planting 12 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. The risk I run here is having anemic plants, but I think that should be alleviated by the fact that strawberries are aggressive growers.

In PA strawberries are planted in April, but check your local extension for more specific information relating to your zone.

How to Care

The first year you plant strawberries you should remove all flowers to ensure the plant is focused on root growth. Now, strawberries are perennials but they aren’t immortal either - you can expect to get four to five years out of any given plant. So, the general cycle here is

Year 1: Leave the plant alone

Year 2: Harvest strawberries, remove all runners

Year 3: Allow plant to set some number of runners to grow daughter plants (these begin at year 1 next year)

Year 4: Assess if its worth keeping the plant one more year, or remove plant entirely to allow room for new daughter plants

Otherwise, provide general care - weeding and fertilizing if necessary (get a soil test!) - taking care not to damage the strawberry’s shallow root system. During the winter straw should be placed as mulch to protect the dormant plants, which should be removed in March before the strawberries begin to grow.

Kyiv hasn’t been its usual self for weeks. For half of the day, the Ukrainian capital, known for its cafes, bustling nightlife, and crowded cocktail dens even through a pandemic and more than eight months of a full-scale Russian invasion, is plunged into darkness, mostly disappearing from view except for millions of little flickers of candlelight.  

Russia, which has been repeatedly beaten on the battlefield, has resorted to knocking out Ukrainian power and heat ahead of the winter. Russian missile strikes and drone attacks have shuttered close to 40 percent of the country’s power plants. 

The first shock has been economic. Ukraine’s government fears the economy could shrink by one-third. “Some businesses in Kyiv are panicking like crazy,” said Tymofiy Mylovanov, an advisor to the Zelensky administration. “People who have been in Kyiv, who have stayed in Kyiv, who have thousands of employees, are worried that one more attack will be a week without electricity.” 

The Kyiv School of Economics—where Mylovanov, a former Ukrainian economy minister, is president—has set up makeshift shelters that officials are calling “warming centers,” small rooms outfitted for emergency heating. But the makeshift effort isn’t enough to get the city of 3 million people through the winter. “We’re talking about, you know, 20 people, 50 people, a hundred people,” he said. “We’re not talking about thousands of people.” And the blackouts don’t just mean Ukrainians are reading by candlelight. They have left millions of people without water, sewage, and hot food, including children and the elderly. 

Temperatures are already hovering at or below freezing during Kyiv nights in November. Russia’s missile strikes against the Ukrainian power grid have knocked out power to major cities—not including the massive Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that has been offline for months. The increasingly dire situation has set off a mad dash in Western capitals to stave off a further humanitarian crisis in the freezing cold. 

Ukraine still has the ability to generate enough electricity to meet people’s needs, because demand has dropped dramatically since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February. But Russia’s campaign of strikes has decimated Ukraine’s ability to transfer high-voltage power that runs through power lines to lower voltages that can be used by consumers. That has also limited the ability to import energy from other regions to deal with the problem. 

On Capitol Hill, current and former Ukrainian officials are telling anyone who will listen that they are in desperate need of transformers, massive electromagnetic devices that transfer power between circuits in power stations and on railways. “It’s high-voltage transformers that are mostly needed,” said Victoria Voytsitska, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian who has been leading the lobbying effort. “And in Ukraine, unfortunately, we only have one manufacturer who is capable of producing a maximum of three transformers every six months. We need tons of them already at this stage after two waves of major attacks on our critical infrastructure.”

But there’s no quick fix on the way for the transformers, leaving U.S. and Ukrainian officials to work overtime to stave off a mass exodus, like the lines of cars out of Kyiv that preceded Russia’s full-scale invasion. “The blackouts will be there for quite a long time until we have new transformers,” Voytsitska added. On the request list are mobile and secondary substations and power switches as well.  

Ukraine is also in need of spare parts, boilers, and stoves, and Ukrainian officials are trying to find space heaters that can heat destroyed rooms, homes, and school gymnasiums, where internally displaced people have been forced to hide from Russian bombings, to set up more makeshift warming centers. The effort is extending to major Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zhytomyr. In Washington, Ukrainian allies are trying to push the message to the Swiss and British governments, too. 

It’s not clear how far the requests, which have gone to both the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), have proceeded. Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday that the Biden administration was discussing providing generators, water purification systems, heaters, and other winterization aid. USAID has pushed through about $271 million in winterization aid to Ukraine so far, about a fifth of which is specifically earmarked for Kyiv. 

But the difficulty in obtaining the aid has spoken to the Biden administration’s troubles stocking in-kind assistance to Ukraine that date back to the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country in February, which has led to growing frustration in Kyiv and in Washington, even as the United States has sent enormous amounts of military aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the summer. “They got caught a little flat-footed on this,” said a senior congressional aide, speaking on condition of anonymity to speak candidly about ongoing policy talks. “In fairness, the attacks on energy infrastructure have escalated lately, so the need is growing more acute very quickly, whereas before, the energy grid was pretty much intact.” Even months into the war, State Department reports showed that U.S. government plans were focused intently on reforming the Ukrainian energy sector, a prewar mandate, offering few details about U.S. efforts to prepare for winter. 

Current and former Ukrainian officials believe that the plans to strike at Ukraine’s energy grid come directly from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle in the Kremlin. They have pointed to Sergey Kiriyenko, a deputy chief of staff to Putin who once headed up Russia’s Rosatom state nuclear energy corporation, as having a hand in the attacks. The failure on the U.S. side to stock in-kind assistance, including food, to help Ukrainians survive the subzero winter has also caused problems as Kyiv has recaptured wide swaths of territory once occupied by Russian troops in the eastern Kharkiv region and in the south. And the requests have also proven a challenge to the Biden administration and nongovernmental organizations that are mostly used to handling pleas for help in warmer areas. “They need raw material,” the senior congressional aide added. “They need generators, they need fuel, they need supplies to keep warm this winter. So there’s a bit of a scramble going on to provide it.” 

The major need isn’t for money, Ukrainian officials said, but for goods. They have pressed U.S. officials and lawmakers to use money authorized by Congress’s new Lend-Lease bill, passed earlier this year, for emergency supplementary money to source the equipment as in-kind assistance to Ukraine. Voytsitska is pushing for at least 15 new transformers to help alleviate the stress that Russia has put on the Ukrainian grid. Ukrainian officials are also asking for shunt reactors, used to absorb high voltage, and circuit breakers. But some are still concerned that the plan won’t work. 

“It’s a huge problem to get those transformers, because even if you get them from Europe and the United States, they will not fit our system,” said Volodymyr Omelyan, Ukraine’s former minister of infrastructure. Worse yet, the remaining Ukrainian transformers are not well protected, he said, even with simple earthworks to shield them from blasts. And missile defenses are in scarce supply. The United States has so far only provided two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems that are coproduced with Norway to defend energy infrastructure over the whole country. 

There is a will and readiness to help, Ukrainian officials said, even if the aid is not coming fast enough. But although Ukraine has the equivalent of a multinational hotline to source military aid in the form of a repurposed classroom on a U.S. base in Stuttgart, Germany, and 30-nation defense meetings that take place on a near-monthly basis, there’s no such 411 for the desperately needed economic and energy assistance. Voytsitska and Ukrainian officials have proposed setting up a special task force at the Ukrainian government level that will collect information about the damage caused by the Russian strikes 24 hours a day and provide USAID, the State Department, and European governments with their needs. 

“Their military guys know what the sense of urgency is,” said Mylovanov, the Ukrainian official and academic. “When it comes to the rest, the answer is just, ‘Oh, you know, we’re on a different schedule.’”

It has also presented a funding challenge for the Biden administration, which is trying to negotiate a new $50 billion aid package for Ukraine that could be finalized during the so-called lame-duck session of Congress that will follow this week’s midterm elections. The $12 billion Ukraine aid package passed by Congress in September as part of a deal to avoid a U.S. government shutdown only covers direct budgetary assistance and military aid to Kyiv. But temperatures are already dropping across Ukraine, and with periodic outages, including in Kyiv, the demand is increasing, and the United States has likely drained economic support funds that have been used for energy.

“There is anxiety about additional budget support, and that’s where Congress doesn’t really want to do more,” said Melinda Haring, the deputy director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center. “It’s pensions, it’s salaries for teachers and doctors. It’s money to keep the railways going and to keep the state alive. That’s all it is.”

The Biden administration “[hasn’t] communicated the seriousness of the crisis and why Americans should sacrifice,” Haring added. 

European governments have also joined the scramble to try to outfit Kyiv with proper winter gear. Speaking to reporters during a visit to Washington last month, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said that Ukraine’s winterization needs had shot up the list of foreign aid requests. “[It’s] not only weaponry, but during the wintertime, do they have clothing, do they have tents, do they have the generators, heaters to be on the battlefield, to be ready to go,” Pevkur said. And the Swiss government is also expected to authorize a winter package soon. 

But Ukrainians are worried that everything is coming too little, too late. The country is saddled with grim memories of the siege of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv in February, when many froze to death with no heating or electricity. 

“We’ve got reports from the state that everything is under control and everything is ready for any kind of catastrophe or grid blackout,” said Omelyan. “But in reality, though, I’m a former bureaucrat, and I know it’s my job to say that everything is under control and everything is ready to meet every challenge. In reality, I think it’s not enough.”

Vauxhall motors

The global shortage of computer chips has had a significant impact on the car industry and is unlikely to improve before the end of the year, according to Vauxhall Motors.

Vauxhall's managing director, Paul Wilcox, told the BBC that the industry was facing a "problem" for the next two or three months.

However, he insisted there was no need for a major overhaul of supply chains.

The UK has suffered a shortage of semiconductors for the past year.

It was triggered by the Covid crisis. In the early stages of the pandemic, there were dramatic cuts in the car and commercial vehicle production. This was followed by a surge in output when the first wave of lockdowns came to an end.

But as car factories tried to ramp up their output, they found that the available supplies of semiconductors had already been snapped up by other industries, notably the consumer electronics sector, which was experiencing a boom in sales.

·Why is there a chip shortage?

·Toyota to cut production by 40% amid chip crisis

·Car production hit by 'pandemic' and chip shortage

Modern vehicles can have hundreds of chips on board. They are used in engine controls, entertainment systems, safety mechanisms, instrument clusters, and so on, so the shortage has forced manufacturers around the world to curtail production.

Vauxhall is no exception. Production at both of its UK plants in Ellesmere Port and Luton has been disrupted at different times. According to Mr Wilcox, the effects are still being felt.

"It has obviously suppressed our ability to manufacture," Mr Wilcox told the BBC, speaking at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham many business listings.

Vauxhall Motors' managing director Paul Wilcox says carmakers rely heavily on "just-in-time" delivery systems

"If you look at the industry in the UK this month, commercial vehicle sales, which have been hugely buoyant this year - 59% up - this month they're 20% down, and obviously a large part of that is because of supply shortages."

He added that parent company Stellates' decision to invest £100m on building a new range of electric vans at Vauxhall's troubled plant in Ellesmere Port was "massively important" for the factory and its workforce.

Motor manufacturers rely heavily on so-called "just-in-time" delivery systems - which mean that parts are delivered to factories when they are needed, rather than being stockpiled.

This eliminates the need for expensive warehousing but means that if parts do not appear when they are required, factories can grind to a halt. But Mr Wilcox said he saw no need for a major overhaul of supply chains as a result of the current crisis business listings.

"I don't think it exposes a problem," he said. "I think it just illustrates that when you have a crisis, you can be quite vulnerable."

He added that the car industry is very much "based on lean manufacturing".

"I don't think that will change in the short to medium term - may be one thing we need to be careful of is maintaining more stability in terms of our contractual arrangements, but I don't see a fundamental shift in the way we manage the business," he said.

Mr Wilcox also applauded the recent decision by Vauxhall's parent company Stellates to build a new range of electric vans at the company's plant at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

The factory, which employs 1000 people, had been at risk of closure.

"It's obviously massively important," he said. "The investment of £100m obviously gives surety of jobs, gives stability in terms of the workforce and stability to the supply chain, which in that part of the UK is obviously very important."

But the move, he said, would also protect the long-term future of the plant, which will be building electric vehicles at a time when the industry as a whole is moving rapidly towards electrification free business listings.
