Apple broke the law fighting Atlanta union, says NLRB

The greatest success of the NLRB is....

Since this garbage was passed under FDR, Unions have declined in popularity with each decade. The Majority of states are now RIGHT TO WORK STATES which bar UNIONs from controlling employment.

Let it be known that FDR opposed all Government Unionization. The Union's claim to oppose greedy business owners is missing when they oppose Taxpayers who are not greedy business owners, they are the bill footers of government. Look where you have your Gov unions... Longshoreman, The US POSTAL SERVICE, American Public Schools. And in each instance, the Government service operates with no efficiency. Most prominent are the declining Maths and Science scores of Murican Students which coincide government-mandated education.

And the Longshoreman who have 100 ships backed up all year long and worse at Christmas, have a long history of opposing all automation. Shanghai which is fully automated and has no Unions, moves 500% more cargo a year than Long Beach and Port of LA combined.

China files complaint with WTO against US chip export controls

Muricans are economic illiterates

The US Semiconductor industry is 1.2% of the US GDP and falling. If you block chip sales, US Companies go out of business. Tech has a very short shelf life. Remember LED light bulbs and how fast they demolished other bulbs made in the USA? China has 98% of the global LED business now. So is Biden Tariffing LED bulbs in order to grow the US business? Solar panels... 97% made in China. Joe's energy policies to cut oil and replace it with solar have no US solar panel makers to move this silly agenda along. So Joe Tariffs Solar Cells and Electric Utilities can't put up solar arrays because they can't get product or the price. Politicians are idiots.

China will win their WTO case. The tired dog of National Security has failed before.

In January China's anti-dumping case was found in favour of China and ruled China Can Place Duties on $645 Million in US Imports.

China has brought a second case which they will also win.

The US is so accustomed to bullying, even when they lose their cases, they cry it ain't fair... the US BULLY transforms into the US Victim. Boo hoo WTOOOO...

Newsflash Murcia... you are not going to stop China Growth. You are only going to turn into the Rope A Dope....

US Department of Energy 'flooring the accelerator' with $2.5bn battery loan on battery plants

This insane policy failed ten years ago...

My original post was "REJECTED"... I find that interesting. Why? Because I listed a dozen Obama Headlines regarding his FAILED BATTERY policies which included Plants for LG and others as well as half a dozen of those companies that went belly up. I annotated the headlines and proof on the Register is quicksand for a post.

What is it with politicians which Ayn Rand called the intellectual bottom rung... pushing EVs and other rainbow technologies by gov subsidies. Batteries are not a solution. EVs and hybrids now fill the landfills and junkyards. The bodies of these vehicles are in good shape but nobody is going to pay thousands for batteries that last no longer than your IPHONE battery. The advertising sizzle exceeds reality. And in the land of green that is a common thread. Wind Generators do not last 20 years, they crap out on average in 5. Solar cells get weaker over time as do batteries. Meanwhile, Diesel still produces the same energy output and doesn't depreciate BTUs.

The most ludicrous idea is that Murica now views batteries as the most recent source of their NATIONAL SECURITY RANTINGS. And it is always Asia's fault for making cheaper better batteries.

Obama spent billions on Battery plants... net result... no batteries produced, lots of bankruptcies after the gov funds disappeared. Now Biden is back with the same old washed up Obama policies of free loans and phoney battery plants.

The cubesats lost in space from Artemis Moon mission

60% Grade is not a Pass

This reminds me of a patient crashing in recovery. The surgery was a wonderful success says the surgeon, as the patient circles the drain in recovery.

This NASA spin is sickening. This is 1968 technology. It is embarrassing. 54 years have passed and nothing has changed. No kid watching Walter Cronkite shedding a few broadcast news tears with Neal Armstrong's foot print would have imagined that 54 years later there would be so little progress and so much wasted money. Now the public is being asked to swallow the notion that 60% is a passing grade. Not at Caltech or Princeton. Maybe it's a good grade in Football Physics at LSU but it's a fail.

US Dept of Energy set to reveal fusion breakthrough

Cold Fusion PR

If there was a real story behind this, which there isn't, Peer Review would come first and Cold FUSION PR would come never. We are somehow expected to believe that these US Gov labs are at the forefront of technology. That's just not the case. For example, the trillion-dollar medical lab and research system of the US Government has never produced a cure for a single disease no a drug of any kind that cures any disease. A big fat nothing.

During the great Government Human Genome lunacy, the Government had a plan that would take 40 years. That's a lot of long lunches. Forced through funding cuts and mismanagement, the government had to go to the private sector where physicists applied algorithms to sequence DNA over a Government scientist's lunch hour.

Cold Fusion was a fiasco. It was the first time that a research group went public without Peer Review and analysis. And the Bromide public went wild over it with even greater enthusiasm than Ivermectin.

Enjoy your Cold Fusion II propaganda... Looks like Lawrence Liverspots needs more funding...

NASA's Orion Moon capsule to splash down this Sunday

How great is this... It's 1968 again!

Watching the capsule drop into the ocean... garnered all the excitement of a damp squib. The shape of the thing was the same old shape of the thing from the late 60s, 54 years ago... nothing has changed. This isn't a better idea. It is the same old rehash idea. More nostalgia anodyne bromide for those that think this 8 Billion dollar mission was anything other than a waste of dough. Japan failed to launch its rover to the moon... spark plug wires or something... Some Japanese engineer probably gave himself an appendectomy after this humiliation.

So this is diversity engineering and it just caught up to 1968... and NASA video was as good as super8 gear gets when it was turned on that is, when it wasn't being ignored completely. So that was selling the sizzle in 68... the only thing missing was B&W Cathode Ray Televisions.

But it did demonstrate one thing... how utterly unnecessary astronauts are to the navigation and driving this "SPACE CAPSULE"

Intel expects to regain market share by 2024, admits to 'inefficiency in the fab'

Hope for handouts is eternal in Murica

The semiconductor business is just 1.2% of the US GDP and falling. There is nothing here of value that warrants billions of idiot politician taxpayer abuse. FAB is a low-margin, labour-intensive business unsuitable for the Lazy slobs of Murica. JOW BITEN just pissed away $39 Billion on failing UNION pension plans. And then the Chips Act ... and the handout welfare semiconductor companies want more. The red ink of the Chips Act isn't even dry and now INTEL wants this made into a prominent thing. Mana from Schumer and Biten. Intel should be dismantled and sold off as scrap. Qualcomm is about to eat Intel's lunch dinner and snack food.

TSMC founder says 'globalization is almost dead' as Asian foundry giant expands in US

Typical Taiwan slurping competition

Who in the USA is going to work in this TSMC pretend FOXCONN FAB plant? This isn't just crummy factory work, it is manpower-intensive boring work. And any clowns^ss that think this can be automated don't know FAB or Fab Testing. You are not going to divert burger flippers into this job.

The idea that "globalization is dead" should only look at Joe Biten's Trump supply chain in the US with again 100 ships backed up at the Port of LA and Long Beach. One intelligent poster noted...Where is the US going to buy the materials for FAB in the US which doesn't make them? The great political lunacy of protectionism will crash land like all Marxist protectionism. JOW Biten's clamp down on tech has only sent US tech firms into recession. If not Microsoft's endless patchwork thread-bare software, there would be no job security for the make-work crowd.

Taiwan wants in on the Gobbermment money... just like those honest folks at FOXCONNJOB. I would rather the Chinese spit in my face than listen to a slurper from Taiwan picking my pocket.

Globalization is not dead; its just the USA that is dying on the vine... Oh but but but Columbus OHIO will be the epicentre of all FAB... like McClatchy Tex is the centre of the giant politician's supercollider... Yeah, that thing.

Gunfire at electrical grid kills power for 45,000 in North Carolina

North Carolina Rednecks Starting the CIVIL WAR...

Trump recently called for the US Constitution to be suspended. The quickest way for that to happen would be Succession. By attacking the power grid, it separates the off-grid survivalist from the softies. Of course, they should have waited for a cold snap or blizzard. Though I don't think the Sandhills gets much snow. I am sure there will be some copycats and the Federal Gov will pass a law of some kind. The most nothing as possible of course.

But the good thing about this Civil War Strategy is that when you shoot the distribution stations, it knocks out all the power and down goes the police response and everything with it.

Killing trees with lasers isn’t cool, says Epson. So why are inkjets any better?

Well Written but missed one colourful point

It is all about colour printing. A Laser requires as many as four toner cartridges to produce bad colour prints. Ink jets produce better colour and make more money for the companies selling the little ink jet cartridges. But but but... now comes INK TANK printers which are the YUGO of our time. These bloody things clog up in mere weeks with a myriad of tubes that carry the life-giving serum to the print head. One manufacturer even recommended buying the Ink Tank an electric blanket and keeping it live on the grid at all times. What in bloody...?

There is nothing colourful about a monochrome laser but it is the most cost-effective printer. Do I need to write my contracts in colour? No. Will writing legal brief's in colour be beneficial? No. Teaching a Judge to read might help but colour won't help.

BTW, I am not exactly green but I stupidly thought that Trees were considered to be some kind of sustainable resource. You know, cut wood, grow more wood... but did I miss something that trees are now pets and should not be executed or ripped in saws which could be quite painful I should imagine?

US chip group: $52b is not enough, we need an extra $30b in federal funding

Re: We knew this was coming...

Sorry, I hold no favour with any political parties anywhere in the world including the USA. I see them as the Incumbent party and as Ayn Rand referenced them... the Intellectual bottom rung.

Biden kept Trump Tariffs even though they have been devastating to the US supply chain. And they are tax deductable in the US so they accrue no tax benefit to the Gov... just more red tap, more Customs headaches. It is just pathetic. Biden is a UNION man so he continues this hot mess. The Taxpayer takes it on the chin. That is the whole of both your political parties and the same in the UK. Please this is not unique.

It is most assuredly WELFARE. When you tap the intellectual bottom rung over a mere 1.2% of the US GDP, you have already made a losing bet. The US WILL NEVER regain its chip supremacy of the 1970s. Fab is a manpower-intensive low-margin business with a shelf life similar to bananas. It is incompatible with the Murdican or UK work ethic.

Biden and Schumer want to buy you an Electric Car. These are not ready for prime time. They burn houses down. They short in high rains, and they continue to lose range over time then you have to replace the batteries and you can't do it.

Give me a nice diesel engine that runs for 500,000 miles or a Toyota that runs for 300,000 and call it a day. The latest studies on Ozone BTW indicate that without carbon dioxide, you can have no Ozone protective layer. So perhaps Dems and the GOP are equally out to lunch with their moronic gov winner picking. Name one winner please. I have asked this before and experienced nothing but SILENCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

We knew this was coming...

Once the handouts begin...

These were 6 year Biden Schumer handouts to convert Columbus Ohio into the FAB CENTRE of the UNIVERSE... But now this Modern Day Supercollider, just months from passing IS NOW SUDDENLY NOT ENOUGH MONEY...

Leave us not forget the great Trump Trade War... Trump tweeted that The US GOV would backstop any losses from Soy sold to Chiner... In doing so this moron triggered Force Majeure and made all the 65 MMT of soy contracts VOIDABLE by the CHINESE. There were 300,000 US Soy farmers that had worked decades for this, the largest US AG Export. And it took that orange idiot and his patent ignorance of the commodity market to destroy it all in mere seconds.

So what was the outflush? Murican Soy farmers went from 300,000 soy farmers to 100,000 Soy farmers. They went from 109 MMT of soy production before Trump to 34 MMT post trump. The field was decimated. But it got worse... Brazil and Argentina, in a sought managed to produce roughly 200 mmt of Soy to sell to the Chinese markets. 'The US now makes almost no ecportable soy.

But last month Trump bragged that he had given the US farmer 80 Billion in farm welfare. A lot of bass boats were purchased.

Take home message.. in Murcia there is no longer a need to farm or fab... just latch on to the Gov Welfare System and go fishing. BTW, the US lost almost all of its AG exports under Trump. China took over the US Strawberry exports to Japan. Brazil and Argentina are growing even more soy, so the US Export market of the formerly largest AG export is DEAD... Thantks to the stable genius.

Joe and Schumer have done the same to the semiconductor markets, now in recession. China is working around all of it as they did with Soy.

But but but... Welfare means you really don't have to work at all... just learn to collect and learn how to lobby political idiots.

US ends case against Huawei CFO who holed up in Canada for three years

China gave Canada what Kidnappers richly deserved

Enjoy your Canola oil... Costs more in diesel fuel than the energy derived from an equal measure of Canola... a mathematical bust. Enjoy your fictional propagoonda.

Re: Primary or secondary?

The alleged activity occurred in Hong Kong, not the USA or Canada... further involved a European BANK! Neither Canada nor the US had jurisdiction. And she was the first person ever charged in history for the alleged acts of a corporation. When her attorney's presented evidence from the Bank of NO FRAUD, Canada quashed the evidence in favour of stalled detention, claiming that CANADA was not interested in judging the facts of the CASE. US lawyers would have ripped the DOJ a new ^ss#one in Court. Just as they did in the Ted Stephen's case.

Every loudmouth is a John Wayne until they get their lights punched out in Court. The Ted Stephens case resulted in 6 US Gov Attorneys getting sanctioned or disbarred for withholding evidence.

Nice spin for Canada BUT BUT BUT

Before Vendetta goes hippie... and you espouse more stumblebum Canadian virtue... Let's just review ONE SALIENT point. Meng Wanzhou was the FIRST PERSON IN HISTORY to be personally charged for the alleged activity of a business breaching some US sanctions.

Why was she the first person ever to be charged rather than charging the company? That's easy enough. Her father is Ren Zhengfei founder of Huawei and a Xi close friend. This kidnapping reeked. And China gave Canada some of its own medicine. You want to play spineless shill to Donald Trump... Good luck with that.

Canada behaved as a collective moron. They involved the otherwise moral and decent Canadian Mounted Police in a kidnapping scheme. Trump turns anything into a stench. Naturally, Trump attacked a woman. The filthy orange tiny hands that treat women of any brand with disrespect. He is a rude pig and Macron or Eyebrows, should have taken a swing at Trump and knocked him on his lard^ss.

There are the big three law firms in Washington DC that wanted the case to come to the US. They never lose to DOJ. One is Williams and Connolly and another Steptoe. The DOJ wanted CANADA to stall to just keep the woman under house arrest to amuse Trump's Administration as political leverage against China or Trump's Chinese loans. They did not want Meng's case in the US where they would lose. So they relied on the spineless Canadians to do Trump's political bidding. Canada performed flawlessly. They knew no person had ever been held for the alleged activities of a business. Further, they knew the alleged activity took place in Hong Kong. The US had no jurisdiction over a European Bank except its wretched reach through SWIFT. Leverage NOT LAW.

This woman in a sea of spineless Canadians and John Wayners stood with unflinching dignity and poise. She made Trump and her Canadian captors look like fools. Canada's great claim that they would never extradite a political case fell by the wayside. Instead, they were the kidnappers doing the dirty dead for Trump. One more Trump sycophant to cower to the bombastic loud blowhard. A panzy nation dependent on one trade relationship. Canada was in bed with the worst elements in its history.

In the end Canada was the bag holder. Biden wanted no part of holding a woman hostage to amuse Trump and his band of morons. China played hardball with Canada and the results could have been much worse. Tiny Canada spouting off at China for kidnapping two Canadian spies... got no support from the US whatsoever. It was Biden that cut the deal with Xi to exchange hostages.

The lesson for Canada is not that you need more law or legal revision over extradition. Try to envision some reality here. When India tried to extradite Warren G. Anderson the CEO of Union Carbide over Baphol, the US Gov rejected the High Court of India's extradition request claiming insufficient facts. So you see Canada, extradition is an arbitrary and capricious hot mess when dealing with the US. They have a very one-sided view of it... what benefits the US.

The same thing applies to NAFTA2 the rather one-sided US trade Agreement. Imagine a Free Trade Agreement where the US president under Section 230 can impose Tariffs on Canada with impunity... in the FACE of a FREE TRADE AGREEMENT.

Your arguments twist and turn in expansive legal theory. There was no theory here other than Canada being utterly mindless and kidnapping this woman without cause. Canada richly deserves the Trump Bag and the Trump and Biden Tariffs and the strip out of the Keystone 2. You are John Wayne's btch along with the UK and Australia. You are nothing but abused children tearfully seeking the approval of your John Wayne Daddy and punisher.

This is one saga, where the Canadians got just what they deserved... exactly as the UK got when naval hostages were taken by Iran and outfitted with shinny new bespoke suits. Richly deserved humiliation for the John Wayne shills... who got nothing but a good old fashion btch slapping for the world to enjoy.

AI giant Baidu shrugs off US chip export restrictions as having 'little impact'

Re: No Surprise

More protectionist slobber. Semiconductors are less than 1.2% of the US Economy and less than 0.3% of the UK economy. I am afraid you are going to need to find some other excuses for your failures than "offshoring."

If you invent something and your politicians won't let you sell your product to the largest market in the world, who then buys it? Nobody. You go out of business. And your big Brother John Wayne doesn't buy any British products oh but but but, they are going to save you. These socialist arguments of yours are exactly why Britain has no foothold in semiconductors. Nobody is going to pay 400% more for some inferior chip with a short shelf life. And as for ARM, if ARM moves to the US Exchanges, you big brother John Wayne will shut down Manchester in a John Wayne minute. After all the US has the grand pipe dream that through gov money distributed by Joe Biden, the US semiconductor and FAB business will suddenly make the US the top of the global pyramid. And UK can fetch John Wayne his slippers.

When you start to think like Trump and Biden, it is a good sign you need to visit a psychiatrist. Trump was so dumb he didn't know Android was open source so when he announced this Boycott of Android to China, the only thing it did was destroy Google Services in China. Huawei came out with Harmony and replaced all Google Services with Chinese Home grown services. Protectionism strikes again.

BTW,, not one US company in China has left China. Remember the TRUMP declaration, "All US Companies must leave Chiner." Christ, he was a dope.

Your solution of attaching jobs to the Welfare Department so that Americans or Brits get to buy only products made at home assures failure in every way. No competition yields high prices and low quality. Remember the YUGO? Offshoring is nothing more than a populist argument that has no legs. It is for UNION bellyachers on bar stools with mush for brains. Semiconductors is a division of labour enterprise and doing nicely until Trump and Joe Trump came along. Now US and Brit semiconductor companies are fuel for a dumpster fire.

US Tariffs have destroyed the US supply chain. Ships backed up 100 deep at US ports. The Gov Customs now sorts and warehouses all imports for Tariffs further delaying the products and adding inflationary costs to everything. And in the US, Tariffs are Tax Deductible business expenses. So they harm capital, accrue no gov benefit and ultimately just raise the national debt. But your Boy TRUMP says they bring in billions. Trump and Biden are economic illiterates and dumb as dirt. But they tell you, populists, what to think...

Husband and wife nuclear warship 'spy' team get 20 years each

Show sentence to gin up public FEAR

None of the information was classified as top secret or secret, falling into a third category considered confidential. They plead guilty to one felony each conspiracy to communicate restricted data.

The issue here is the Federal Sentencing guidelines. Any lawyer from the Federal Bench will tell you that these Statutory Guidelines are set up as SHOW SENTENCING to spread fear by the Federal Gov agency to send signals to other would-be lawbreakers.

Prosecutors alleged but failed to show the couple had any intent to flee the USA. Documents confirmed that the couple had discussed leaving the US but the reason was they hated Stinky Trump, enough to commit their dislike of Trump in email communications to each other.

This was a plea deal, actually the third plea deal. The judge kept rejecting the plea deals reached by lawyers and prosecutors based on wanting harsher sentencing guidelines. The sentencing guidelines by the court will be appealed. When multiple plea deals are rejected by the court that were approved by prosecutors and attorneys, that is a red flag. The judge has a thin resume, West VA Law school,

I suspect this couple will spend no more than five years in prison.

Suppose you were a nuclear engineer and you contacted a foreign gov to sell some information on nuclear subs. And that query was turned over to the FBI. Suppose in the end you made a deal with the FBI undercover took some crypto and gave them a few packages of fictional material. HAVE YOU COMMITTED A CRIME? Selling fiction is not illegal. The next step up would be selling restricted data, such as a speed test of a nuclear sub. That would be a crime if sold to a foreign gov based on the 1954 ACT. But is selling it to the FBI a crime? The Crime is a conspiracy to communicate restrictive data whether you succeed or not. That was accomplished in the first teaser letters that were given to the FBI. That was the elaborate cat-and-mouse game to see if the couple was selling fiction or restrictive data. Sorry, it is not much of a crime. It is thin.

Compare that to Trump's taking Top Secret, and Secret, and Classified material out the door of the White House and lying by saying all documents had been returned. The FBI then finds documents at Mar-o-Lago. In the Trump case you have a partisan Federal District judge attempting to block the Federal and FBI investigation and in West Virginia, you have a District Judge blocking plea deals by Prosecutors and Attorneys in order to exact more punishment. Both Judges are women with very thin resumes.

As an aside, do I think Trump will be indicted? No. He should be but Garland and Biden expressed long ago this royal fiction that you can't prosecute a standing or former President. It is a good ole boy's club kind of view. Garland has been scrambling and even walked the idea of a special prosecutor, which is insanity and a clear attempt to push this away from his desk. If Trump announces a run for the Presidency then Garland will withhold prosecution in order not to appear biased in an election. It was the same excuse used to stall an indictment before the Midterm elections.

I noticed Trumpers take the hardline with Assange and Snowden and likely this couple but want to treat Trump with kid gloves. I assure you the crimes of Trump are far greater than Assange, Snowden, and this couple. It is this kind of tenor that makes justice in the USA almost impossible. The UK unlike the USA, has extremely well-trained judges. In the US it is the failures at the practice of law that end up as judges and they function as political hacks.

One thing is certain... the more the Gov tries to gin up Fear, the higher the price on the open market. This couple were just flunkies that didn't know what they were doing.

Rolls-Royce and Air China have announced they are entering into a new 50/50 Joint Venture (JV) maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Beijing, China. The new facility, BAESL (Beijing Aero Engine Services Company Limited), will provide MRO support on the Rolls-Royce Trent 700, Trent XWB-84 and Trent 1000 aero engines. Air China currently has all three engine types in its fleet.

At full capacity, which is expected to be achieved in the mid 2030s, BAESL will be able to support up to 250 shop visits per year. The facility will offer MRO services to Air China as well as our other airline customers based in Greater China and beyond. Today, Rolls-Royce powers 60% of China’s widebody fleet, powering more than 550 aircraft in service or on order. Our Trent 700 engines also power 90% of the country’s Airbus A330 fleet and the Greater China fleet represents 20% of all Trent engines flying today.

The KEY to aircraft independence is maintenance. This applies to any airframes entering China from the globe.

As for air pollution in Beijing, Last year Beijing met its Air Quality standard and this year had a marked 35% improvement over last year. Once again you spout off with no facts at all but loads of xenophobia.

MORE MURCIAN BLOWHARD... "We can shut you down by Kneecapping Nancy Kerrigan"

China is the largest buyer of Aircraft in the world. They don't need Murica's approval. Airbus is happy for the business. The only component lacking in China's tech arsenal is commercial jet engines, none of which are made in the US but are made in France. Pratt Whitney and Rolls want Chinese business. You accomplish nothing by blocking China from buying engines other than losing global markets. How bloody arrogant you John Waynes are...

C919 is an astonishing achievement.

Re: Historically

More wholesale xenophobia and no facts as usual. C919 has been a careful slow process with no Boeing Corners cut. It has excellent engines and the frame is superbly designed. Slightly less speed, and less range, but the cockpit is better than Boeing or Airbus.

But of course, you know all about China having never been there. Keep Yapping vendetta..

300 aircraft is 300 aircraft sales not going to Boeing or Airbus. Boeing BTW is the US single largest exporter Last week a $17 Billion Chinese Deal went to Airbus. Don't think for a minute that Boeing shares your xenophobia. They oppose Trump-Biden Sanctions as destructive to Boeing's business. China is the largest buyer of global aircraft.

DoE supercomputing centers get $1.5B boost from Biden administration

Your kid failing maths? Murican solution... fund Transgender Maths

When the horse bolts why would you open your wallet or your neighbours' wallets and throw money at the hoof prints? Dare I point out that Murica was once the leading producer of steel. Today Murica doesn't have a single blast furnace in operation, and only makes hot and cold rolled steel and some rebar. NOTHING ELSE and Murican Steel is 60% scrap which rusts fast. Marketing scheme.. "Biodegradable Steel... friendly to the environment!"

How exactly is the Dept of Energy going to use this INFLATION FIGHTING SUPERCOMPUTER? The only motivation is that CHINER has more supercomputers. So the horse has bolted and these Democrats and Protectionist Republicans waste money on the Department of Energy which should be dismantled along with the Dept of Education... Maybe the US should start a Department of Home Schoolers.

BTW the DOE LABS have never invented a single process or fostered a single BTU in additional energy efficiency. But they will cling death to Ethanol... which even by AL GORE Polar bear standards is a total energy bust. Do you need a supercomputer to tell you Ethanol has a 70,000 BTU deficit with Diesel fuel? It costs more in diesel fuel to produce a gal of ethanol than the energy you get from burning the ethanol. I am afraid they will not like what the Supercomputer tells them... "Cannot Compute... ETHANOL is a BUST!"

Better living through BIDEN BLOAT.

China is likely stockpiling and deploying vulnerabilities, says Microsoft

Undoubtedly Chinese discovered vunerabilities that Microsoft built for NSA

If Microsoft made socks they would be out of business... too many holes and too much complaining about customers.
