Steve Malanca Joins the AgNet News Hour to Discuss Almond Markets, Water Policy, and California Agriculture California agriculture faces no shortage of challenges and opportunities heading into the second half of 2026. On this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” and Josh McGill sit down with longtime almond industry leader Steve Malanca of West Valley Hulling in Firebaugh to discuss everything from almond crop forecasts and pricing trends to California's ongoing water storage debate. The conversation begins with a discussion about Canada's newly announced food security initiative. Canadian officials are investing heavily in greenhouse production and automation in an effort to reduce reliance on imported fruits and vegetables. While the move has raised concerns among some California producers, Malanca and the hosts question whether greenhouse technology can realistically replace California's world-leading production of almonds and other specialty crops. California currently exports billions of dollars' worth of agricultural products to Canada, including almonds, pistachios, walnuts, wine, dairy products, lettuce, tomatoes, and many other commodities. While food security remains an important goal for every nation, the hosts note that California's climate, infrastructure, and agricultural expertise remain difficult to replicate. One of the biggest topics during the interview is the outlook for California almonds. After a growing season that featured a hot March, rain during April and May, and significant wind events in parts of Northern California, Malanca believes the industry may see a crop slightly smaller than last year's harvest. While last season produced approximately 2.7 billion pounds, Malanca estimates this year's crop could land somewhere between 2.5 and 2.75 billion pounds. “There's no indication this is a 3-billion-pound crop,” Malanca explained. Despite concerns about crop size, quality appears excellent throughout many production regions. Early heat accelerated nut development, resulting in larger-than-normal almonds. Field reports have varied, with some growers reporting lighter sets while others have experienced branches breaking under heavy crop loads. The hosts also debated their annual almond crop wager, with Nick continuing to predict the crop will finish under last year's production total while Josh remains confident that growers will surprise the market once again. Perhaps the most encouraging news for growers is the improvement in almond prices. Malanca noted that some processors have recently quoted nonpareil in-shell almonds above $3.00 per pound, a level not seen since 2018. Just 18 months ago, growers were seeing prices closer to $1.40 per pound. At the same time, inventory levels have become much more manageable thanks to strong domestic and export demand. Monthly shipments have consistently exceeded 200 million pounds, helping reduce carryover stocks to healthier levels. Australia's weather challenges may also create additional opportunities for California exporters, particularly in markets such as China. For many growers facing rising costs for labor, fertilizer, fuel, equipment, and water, stronger prices are welcome news. While almonds remain a central focus, water quickly became the dominant topic of discussion. Malanca expressed frustration over continuing water allocation challenges on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley, where some growers are receiving only 25% allocations despite reservoirs remaining relatively full following multiple wet winters. He argued that California's water problem is not a lack of supply but rather a lack of storage. Using data he has tracked since 2015, Malanca pointed to periods when massive amounts of water flowed through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and into the Pacific Ocean. During portions of the wet winter of 2017, Delta outflows exceeded 300,000 cubic feet per second. According to Malanca, enough water flowed out during those periods to fill Shaver Lake dozens of times if sufficient storage infrastructure had been available. His solution is straightforward: expand storage capacity by raising dams, constructing new reservoirs, and capturing more runoff during wet years. The hosts agreed that additional water storage would benefit agriculture, urban communities, and environmental interests by creating more reliable water supplies during drought years. Whether you're an almond grower, agricultural professional, policymaker, or simply someone interested in the future of California farming, this episode offers valuable insights from one of the industry's most respected voices. Be sure to listen to the full conversation with Steve Malanca, Nick Papagni, and Josh McGill on the AgNet News Hour Podcast.

The October 16 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a powerhouse guest, Bill Jones, former California Secretary of State, lifelong West Side farmer, and one of the most respected political figures in Central Valley history. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill continued their “Hall of Fame Week” series with Jones, who offered rare perspective on the intersection of agriculture, politics, and hope for California's future. Jones, who still farms almonds, pistachios, pomegranates, and tomatoes near Firebaugh, shared insight into the challenges and cycles of California farming. “We need the water for irrigation, but it has to come at the right time,” he said, noting that most of this year's rainfall will once again “go right to the ocean” instead of into storage. He criticized decades of political inaction and urged cooperation between Sacramento and Washington. “Until both are on the same page, California's water problem will never truly be fixed,” he warned. The conversation turned to California's political history, where Jones reflected on his time leading the Assembly during the 1990s, a period he called “the last time Sacramento worked for the people.” He lamented the rise of one-party control and called Proposition 50 a direct threat to rural representation. “One-party rule is never good. Prop 50 takes power away from the people and gives it to politicians. Vote no,” he said firmly. Jones also discussed the importance of voter ID laws and ensuring election integrity. Drawing from his experience overseeing international elections in Mexico and Nicaragua, he said, “Every vote counts. People have to believe in the system. Without that, democracy fails.” The former Secretary of State offered advice to young farmers and aspiring leaders to stay engaged. “Agriculture and politics are deeply connected, that's just the nature of it,” he said. “We need people who understand farming to run for office, to step up and serve.” The discussion also covered immigration and labor, with Jones calling for “common sense solutions” and long-term federal reform. “You can't have open borders, but you also can't ignore the workers who've built this country. We need a fair system that works for everyone.” On water, Jones argued that California's crisis is man-made, not climate-driven. “The drought isn't from climate change, it's from poor planning,” he said. “We built a world-class system in the 1960s but stopped maintaining it. You can't run a 40-million-person economy on 60-year-old infrastructure.” Still, Jones ended on a note of optimism. “California is great already,” he said. “We've come back from bad leadership three times before — and we'll do it again. With good candidates and fair elections, this state will come back stronger than ever.” Papagni and McGill closed the segment by echoing his message. “That's what the Central Valley needs — leaders with common sense and courage,” Papagni said. “Bill Jones gives us hope that California can still be fixed.”

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill dive deep into some of the hottest topics shaking up California agriculture, starting with major developments in the almond industry. Market shock hit growers as a recent USDA estimate pegged this year's crop at 3 billion pounds, 300 million more than previously expected. Nick Foglio of Foglio Commodities joined the show for an emergency interview, breaking down how this unexpected number triggered a 50-cent drop in almond prices almost overnight. That drop could mean a 20% loss in projected profit for growers, potentially pushing some close to break-even levels. “Growers were feeling optimistic, and now that's been flipped on its head,” said Foglio, who warned the discrepancy could even lead to legal action against the USDA for the impact of a possibly inflated estimate. Despite the downturn, Foglio believes strong marketing and quality California product could help stabilize the market over time. Also making headlines are two devastating fires: one at the Tomatek tomato processing plant in Firebaugh, and another at a major Calpine warehouse in Lamont. The latter burned to the ground, creating immediate logistics challenges for South Valley growers who rely on the facility for packaging materials. On a more hopeful note, former Westlands Water District director Kevin Assemi joined the program to share innovative ideas for solving California's ongoing water woes. Assemi, who spearheaded a farmer-led groundwater recharge program, emphasized the need for collaboration and transparency among agencies, cities, and growers to ensure smarter water management without billion-dollar investments. With perfect Central Valley weather, the show wrapped up with light-hearted banter about watermelons, grocery store strategies, and support for FFA youth. The hosts previewed upcoming FFA interviews and celebrated the strong summer crop season.

AgNet News Hour: Joel Allen Talks West Side Farming, Water, and Raising an NFL Quarterback Today's episode of the AgNet News Hour dives into California's pressing ag issues, with a mix of heart and humor, as hosts Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and Josh McGill welcome Fresno County farmer Joel Allen to the show. Allen, who farms 3,000 acres near Firebaugh, shares a boots-on-the-ground perspective of what it takes to run a successful West Side operation—growing pistachios, cantaloupes, corn silage, and grains. With a career that started in 1987, Allen reflects on how drastically water availability has changed over the decades. “Back then, we didn't have any issues. Today, it's a man-made drought,” he says, pointing to the political and regulatory roadblocks that have made water access a constant battle for growers. The conversation also highlights Joel's new venture into silage corn for Producers Dairy, and why he's moved away from cotton due to market challenges. He emphasizes the growing importance of smart crop rotation, dependable labor contractors, and adjusting to the rising costs of freight and inputs. But it's not all business. Joel Allen is also the father of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen—and listeners get an inside look at how the NFL star's small-town upbringing, hard work on the farm, and Friday night lights in Firebaugh shaped his path to professional football. Joel offers sincere advice to farm families raising student-athletes: “Bloom where you're planted. Spend time with your kids. Teach them to chase their passion.” Also in today's show: discussion around the rollback of the USDA's 2001 Roadless Rule and what that could mean for wildfire prevention and timber access across 59 million acres of forest land—including 4.4 million in California.

In TikTok, Inc. v. Garland (consolidated with Firebaugh v. Garland) the Court is set to consider whether the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA)(enacted by Congress in April 2024), as applied to petitioners, violates the First Amendment.Put forward as a law focused on national security, PAFACA would require that TikTok either cease operations in the United States or have its parent company ByteDance sell off the American segment of the company by January 19, 2025. The government contends that TikTok poses a notable national security threat given the data it, as a foreign-owned company, collects on American users and the extent to which it could be used to control information (or disinformation) flow to American users. TikTok, along with several users, on the other hand, challenged the law, contending that while there may be a legitimate government interest in national security, the means employed in this case violate the free speech rights of both TikTok and its American users who use the platform to create content. The DC Circuit, in an opinion written by Judge Ginsburg, upheld the law against a First Amendment challenge.The Supreme Court granted cert on December 18, 2024, and oral argument is set for January 10, 2025.

Almond grower Jarred Greene didn't always know he would end up pursuing farming as a career. In 2013, Greene took a summer internship with his current employer, San Juan Ranch, part of Nickel Family Farms. That led him on a journey from washing shop windows to irrigation scheduling to farm management. In this episode, Greene shares insights on where automation fits into an almond operation, especially in the areas oof irrigation and spraying.“We have irrigators out there. We're not trying to replace them. We're trying to achieve more with less. So how can you keep that person but enable him to do a little bit more with his time than he was able to do five or ten years ago?” - Jarred Greene In Today's episode:Meet almond grower Jarred Greene and discover his journey to almond production in Firebaugh, CaliforniaExplore the opportunities, benefits and perspectives of implementing automation in an almond orchardLearn about the increased efficiency and the many benefits Greene has found with irrigation and spraying automationABC UpdateAlmond Board Associate Director of Agricultural Research Sebastian Saa has assembled a group of researchers on behalf of the industry to coordinate a collaborative effort called Tree Crop Remote Sensing of Evapotranspiration Experiment (T-REX). Along with this effort to give growers a clear picture of actual ET, the Almond Board is supporting research on yield prediction and estimation. The hope is that this can help to make sure growers are meeting the water needs of the tree efficiently and precisely.“What our portfolio will focus on is to define when to irrigate, how much to irrigate, where to irrigate – and at the end of the day – how to irrigate…They are developing and enabling the technology to visualize how much our trees are actually transpiring at a high-resolution level.” - Sebastian Saa Register now to attend The Almond Conference at www.almonds.com/conference.

High above the lights of Los Angeles, there's a place where you can actually see the stars and planets in the dark winter sky. It's called the Mt. Wilson Observatory. Peter Gilstrap went to see what happens on Mt. Wilson when the stars come out. Plus, Catholic Latinos across the state commemorate Las Posadas, the journey of Joseph and Mary as they searched for refuge and a safe place for her to give birth to the baby Jesus. Madi Bolaños went to a celebration in Firebaugh. And we hear from Sonoma County songwriter Sean Hayes. He has a new album out called “Be Like Water.” And we mourn the loss of Mexican icon and King of Mariachi, Vicente Fernández, who died December 12th at age 81. Back in 2007, Fernández came to California on his biggest US tour to date. And the California Report's Senior Editor Victoria Mauleón brought us a story about the impact he had on his fans on this side of the border.

On this week's Valley Edition: After a year of immense loss in their farmworker community, Catholic Latinos in Firebaugh celebrate the Lady of Guadalupe.

It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. BMW READY FOR ANY BAN ON FOSSIL FUELS "Germany's BMW (BMWG.DE) will be ready for any ban on internal combustion engine (ICE) cars from 2030 onwards with an offering of electric vehicles, Chief Executive Officer Oliver Zipse said on Tuesday." according to Reuters: "The EU has proposed an effective ban on fossil fuel cars from 2035 as part of a broader package of measures to combat global warming. Unlike rivals including Volkswagen and General Motors, BMW has not set an end date for production of ICE cars." Oliver Zipse: "We will be ICE-ban ready. If a region, a city, a country gets the idea of banning ICEs, we have an offering. The BMW Group is not worried about this. Whether it's a good idea is another question... but we will have an offering."

Osprey are using the 75kW chargers, Gridserve too. I like the 50kW units used by Mer and Pod Point. They'll do Plug & Charge.

A number of EV owners went out for drives during National Day earlier this month without realizing there were not enough charging facilities along the highway, as per the report. Li said electric vehicle adoption is taking place at a quick pace this year, ahead of expectations. The electric automaker said it has accelerated the construction of battery swap stations as well as supercharging stations this year."

There are now 12 rapid chargers per 100,000 people, compared to a UK average of nearly seven, while across all charging types Scotland is second only to London across the whole of the UK with 47 devices for every 100,000." reports Fleet News: "The Scottish Government has invested more than £45 million to develop the ChargePlace Scotland Network, which provides more than 1,900 public charge points across Scotland." Read more: https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/latest-fleet-news/electric-fleet-news/2021/10/13/electric-vehicle-charging-infrastructure-races-ahead-in-scotland FORD AND BMW PARTNER SOLID POWER DEMONSTRATES THE SAFETY OF ITS SOLID-STATE BATTERY TECH "Colorado-based Solid Power, the solid-state battery firm backed by Ford and BMW, claims that third-party safety tests show its battery tech to be safer than current lithium-ion chemistry. The tests, with results released Wednesday, aimed simulate abuse and damage to its prototype solid-state battery cells. Those cells use a sulfide-based solid electrolyte in place of the liquid or gel used in conventional lithium-ion cells." writes Green Car Reports: "When fully-charged test cells were punctured by a conductive nail, the only change was a slight increase in temperature, Soild Power said in a press release. The nail penetration test produced no flames or venting of material from the cells, the company claims. In other tests, cells were overcharged to 200%, and were also caused to short circuit, again with no serious issues, according to Solid Power. . It also claims to have achieved a cell lifespan of 1,000 cycles with greater than 80% capacity retention. With small pouch cells so far, the next step will be to scale up to the larger format pouch cells that some automakers are shifting to." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1133863_ford-bmw-solid-power-demonstrates-safety-solid-state-battery-tech *ad break* U.S. REGULATOR QUESTIONS TESLA ON THE LACK OF A RECALL AFTER AN UPDATE TO AUTOPILOT. "The top federal auto safety regulator sent two letters to Tesla this week raising questions about the company's driver-assistance software systems and instructing the carmaker to provide fuller information." reports New York Times: "The regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is looking into why Tesla did not issue a recall last month when it updated software called Autopilot to improve its ability to spot stopped emergency vehicles such as police cars and fire trucks. The agency also ordered Tesla to provide data about the software that the company calls Full Self-Driving and expressed concern that Tesla may be preventing customers from sharing safety information with the agency." https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/10/13/business/news-business-stock-market TESLA APP HINTS AT REMOTE LIVE VIEW FROM AUTOPILOT CAMERAS "Tesla has released a new mobile app update with a few new small features, but it also shows that the automaker has made some progress toward delivering a remote live view from Autopilot cameras on your car." writes electrek.co: "The new update, v4.2, introduces new bigger widgets to iOS and some new Powerwall features. Improvements to larger iOS widget to include quick controls...Solar and Powerwall supports Tesla-maintained utility rate plans. Utility rate plans now support seasons, multiple peak periods, and buy & sell energy prices...Powerwall's Time-Based Control mode supports the updated rate plans to more accurately use energy from Powerwall when power is expensive and charge from other sources when power is at its cheapest. Some of the code suggests that Tesla is working to give access to the feed from four cameras out of the eight cameras around the vehicle – one on each side:" https://electrek.co/2021/10/14/tesla-app-update-widgets-powerwall-features-remote-live-view-autopilot-cameras/ TESLA MODEL S PLAID WITH ACTIVE AERO CAUGHT TESTING AT THE NÜRBURGRING "For all of its supercar performance, the Tesla Model S Plaid doesn't really have much of the performance technology we expect from a supercar. The most obvious example is that hallmark of modern supercardom, active aerodynamics. But that might be changing." says CarScoops: " spy photographers caught a Tesla Model S Plaid lapping the Nürburgring with a retractable wing that also changed its angle throughout the lap. Seen here changing its pitch from one shot to the next, it would appear that Tesla is looking for higher cornering speeds.  The Plaid+ was supposed to get 1,100 hp, a range of more than 520 miles (837 km), and faster acceleration. Just ahead of Plaid's debut, though, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter to announce that it was so good that the Plaid+ had been canceled."

According to the company's website, another location is coming nearby and it will be equipped with 56 stalls (V3 250 kW). That would increase the total output in the area to 96. According to supercharge.info, bigger stations in the U.S. are at the Harris Ranch (80 stalls), Central Santa Monica (62 stalls) and Firebaugh (56 stalls) - all three in California and both with V3 250 kW chargers. The largest stations in China are in Shanghai with 72 and 64 stalls, but the power is limited to respectively 120 kW and 145 kW."

According to my sources, at least 80 V3 Superchargers will be installed (in addition to the 18 existing stalls) in a new paved parking lot in the truckers rest area, behind the Shell station and Tesla's battery swap area. In a similar setup to Firebaugh, there will be a solar canopy over most or all of the stalls, as well as a battery storage system."   "This is a smart location between LA and SF with so many Tesla owners in CA traveling back and forth. What other car company is going all in like this. No half measures."   "I am beginning to wonder when Tesla will start to construct their massive supercharger stations more vertically. A 3-4 story ,covered charging facility should be the next standard instead of sprawling mega lots."   "For that many v3 superchargers they're going to need about 24megawatts peak. (They can probably shave some peak load if they put a megapack there) That's about what you can fit on a 34.5kv transmission line. The power company will route them a new feeder and have a small substation there (like what is done for large buildings like hospitals or stadiums). 24 MW is a lot of current at the voltage the super charger power electronics would need."   TOYOTA MIRAI OWNERS; THERE IS NO FUEL "Toyota Mirai owners are reporting massive hydrogen outages, and Toyota has not said anything about how it will help take care of their promising technology. Here is what we know so far." reports Torque News: "The infrastructure needed to fuel the cars is almost non-existent. To make matters worse, the limited stations are on the fritz stranding Mirai owners who simply want to enjoy their alternative fuel vehicles. "   A current look at cafcp.org show 23 pumps offline. Although 45 are working today, with two showing as Limited.   https://www.torquenews.com/8113/toyota-mirai-owners-there-no-fuel-and-we-want-out-these-cars   PEUGEOT 308 TO BECOME A BATTERY EV "Two weeks after the unveiling of Peugeot’s new 308, Automotive News Europe is reporting that the car will get an all-electric version soon." says FormaCar: "The news is not official and raises some questions. In particular, it remains unexplained how the car – which still holds onto its old EMP2 architecture – will go electric. The abovementioned platform only supports plug-in hybrids, but not fully electric cars. Then again. The alleged e-308 model might switch to a different chassis and tech. One possible solution may come in the form of the eVMP chassis Peugeot announced in summer 2020 and scheduled for production in 2023."   https://www.formacar.com/en/news/view/34315.html   AUDI E-TRON PRICE CUT AND RANGE INCREASE "The Audi e-tron electric SUV was off to a slow start, but it is now gaining momentum in the US with the 2021 model year getting a price cut and range increase. The e-tron, Audi’s first next-generation electric vehicle, already had success in Norway and a few other European markets, but it didn’t sell in significant volume in the US during its first full year of sales." says electrek: "Audi increased the range of the e-tron by 18 miles to 222 miles on a single charge and slashed the price by as much as $9,000. The Audi e-tron now starts at $65,900 before EV incentives in the US. After incentives, the price goes well below $60,000, making it very competitive with a lot of luxury SUVs. The automaker announced today that it delivered 3,474 e-tron electric SUVs in Q1 2021. Audi also delivered 850 e-tron Sportsback."   https://electrek.co/2021/04/02/audi-e-tron-electric-suv-gains-momentum-with-price-cut-range-increase/   BYD TO START SELLING IN-VEHICLE BATTERIES TO OTHER COMPANIES "Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD will start selling in-vehicle batteries to other companies as early as the second half of this year, Nikkei has learned. The move comes as BYD seeks to expand the scale of its battery manufacturing business by supplying other companies, instead of simply using the key EV component it produces in its own products, and thereby further boosting production efficiency." says Nikkei.com: "BYD is also seeking to catch up with China's Contemporary Amperex Technology, or CATL, and South Korea's LG Chem, which are both stronger competitors in the battery market. The move marks a significant policy shift for BYD as the company has so far rarely sold in-vehicle batteries to other companies, except for joint ventures with some automakers and for commercial vehicles. BYD is the third-biggest player in the Chinese electric passenger car market in terms of sales volumes, with a share of just over 10%, while it is the fourth-largest player in the world's in-vehicle battery market in terms of production capacity, with a share of just under 10%."   https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Electric-cars-in-China/BYD-to-start-selling-in-vehicle-batteries-to-other-companies   INDONESIA SAYS CHINA CONSORTIUM TO INVEST $5 BILLION IN ELECTRIC BATTERY VENTURE A quick bit of battery news from Reuters: "Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises minister said on Friday that a Chinese consortium would invest $5 billion in an electric batteries venture, which would include China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology"   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-indonesia-ev-idUSKBN2BP0S4   MERCEDES EQS TO SOUND LIKE X-WING FIGHTER "Mercedes-Benz has revealed that its upcoming pure-electric 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQS limousine will be offered with four different soundtracks when it makes its debut in a few weeks’ time. From its launch later in 2021, the Mercedes-Benz EQS will offer drivers four different modes: Silent, Silver Waves, Vivid Flux and a Roaring Pulse setting." says Motoring.com.au: "Apart from Silent, all modes harness the power of a 15-speaker 710W premium Burmester surround-sound system to dramatically change the driving experience.  Created by a team of 250 acoustic sound engineers and software programmers led by sound engineer Thomas Kuppers, the EQS needs a dedicated soundtrack because it’s too quiet without any ambient noise."   https://www.motoring.com.au/2021-mercedes-eqs-to-sound-like-x-wing-fighter-129180/   12 THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT THE EQS It’s a hatchback 0.20 drag coefficient 107.8kWh battery 435 miles range Dual motor with 385kW power 0-62mph in 4.3secs, repeatable In house Merc BMS so it can be updated OTA 4 regen modes, 1 pedal driving 200kW charging and regen Fingerprint login, 7 profiles Power/Auto doors Luxury from S-Class, but on a pure EV platform   15th April reveal     LYRIQ PRE-PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE SHOWN TESTING "Cadillac Vice President of North America Sales, Service, and Marketing Mahmoud Samara celebrated on LinkedIn about the milestone of pre-production testing of the Cadillac Lyriq now being underway at General Motors' test center in Michigan. The brand's premium, electric crossover goes into production in roughly a year during the first quarter of 2022." says Motor1.com: "GM President of North America Steve Carlisle said that the Lyriq's starting price was under $60,000. This is for the rear-drive model, and we don't know if Super Cruise is a standard feature, which would add to the cost."   https://www.motor1.com/news/499015/cadillac-lyriq-pre-production-image/   BOSTON CAR-SHARING SERVICE PUTS LOW-INCOME DRIVERS IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES "A car-sharing program that combines electric vehicles and income-tiered pricing has launched in one of Boston’s busiest and most diverse neighborhoods.  The Good2Go service, one of the first of its kind in the country, aims to curb carbon emissions while giving low-income Roxbury residents access to reliable, flexible, and affordable transportation. So far the service has deployed four 2019 Nissan Leafs, and dozens of beta testers are using the cars to commute to work, bring their children to school, and run errands." SAyS eNERGYNEWS.US: "The pricing model is income-tiered so low-income customers pay $5 an hour instead of the standard hourly rate of $10. Participants qualify for the reduced rate if they are enrolled in any of 20 public assistance programs, such as Medicaid or veterans benefits. Program operators made such an expansive eligibility list to make it as simple as possible for low-income residents to qualify.

It brings up the elements of the American Jobs Plan that support electric vehicle ownership. Between new electric vehicle charging stations, new transmission lines, more renewable energy capacity, grid resiliency initiatives and more funding for energy storage and clean tech R&D, the American Jobs Plan covers a sprawling web of initiatives that support electric vehicle makers and EV owners" says triplepundit.com: "The charging station network is especially important, because it assures EV owners of access to electricity everywhere they go. In addition, the American Jobs Plan doubles down on Biden’s commitment to support the electric vehicle market through the purchasing power of the federal government. Much attention has focused on the Postal Service fleet of 230,000 vehicles, but the Department of Defense also has the power to move markets. The Department of the Army alone has a fleet of 225,000 vehicles.""   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What incentive would make the most difference to you buying an EV?   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

This week on the All Day Buffalo Podcast we begin a brand new series that we will be doing for 5 weeks. Each week, the host Eli Fox, will take a deep dive into a Bills player's life before the NFL, in the NFL, and everything else. This series is meant to educate everyone on the players that are on the Bills and allow you to get to know your favorite players more. This week we are delving into the life and young career of future MVP Josh Allen. Everything from his humble beginnings in Firebaugh, CA to his MVP caliber year during the 2020 season. Thanks so much for listening and make sure to follow me @alldaybuffalo and the brand @BuiltinBuffalo_ #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #JoshAllen #GoBills #NFL --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/builtinbuffalo/support

We reconnect with Mr. Sanchez, the 10th grade English teacher at Firebaugh High School, who is the definition of an essential worker in the pandemic. Racial and economic inequities have always existed in Firebaugh, and recent events have only magnified this reality. As lack of internet access threatens to cut students off from his class, Mr. Sanchez fights to ensure continued access to education as an act of social justice.

丘孔报科技。2020年11月16日。星期一。1、 11 月 14 日是世界糖尿病日。目前，全球防控糖尿病的形势仍然严峻。Google AI 算法助力降低糖尿病患者失明风险：F 分数达 0.95，超过医生小组。丘孔点评，每次看到这样的高科技信息，总会感觉未来充满希望。一方面我不希望垄断，一方面又矛盾只有垄断能够有闲钱研究一些看似没有赚钱前途的科技。实际上垄断无处不在，不信你看看你周围的乐土。求同存异，接受垄断或许也是一种成熟吧。送给所有人——适度的垄断有利于人类的进步。2、 谷歌母公司 Alphabet 不久将在非洲肯尼亚通过光束传输无线互联网，其使用的技术可以覆盖 20 公里的距离。据悉，Alphabet 旗下的 Taara 项目于 2017 年正式发布，使用光束来完成大量网络数据的传输。去年 Alphabet 开始在肯尼亚进行了一系列试点，目前正与一家电信公司合作，为非洲偏远地区提供互联网接入服务。丘孔点评，我非常看好这种技术。20公里一个发射和接受塔，同时提供4g覆盖，不需要光纤线路，用激光光束发射过去就可以了，还很容易形成网状光阵，有点《红色警戒》的光棱塔的感觉了。对于实际的场景，我贴在了公众号里，大家可以打开看看，很震撼。只是不知道雷雨暴风天气影响有多大，地震会不会让激光变成武器。3、 在由中国互联网络信息中心（CNNIC）举办的第二届中国互联网基础资源大会上，清华大学教授、中国半导体行业协会副理事长魏少军发表演讲并表示，我国芯片设计不受国外制约，主要卡在制造环节，而芯片制造主要卡在材料环节，其中的光刻胶原料还需要大量的研究。丘孔点评，材料学算是最大的新基建了，我后悔大学没有好好学习基础科学了。4、中国运载火箭技术研究院14所系统研发部，研制出我国首个飞行滑板，其航程20千米，最高可飞1000米，可解决交通拥堵、高空作业、灾害快速救援等难题！丘孔点评，如果快速进入量产，相信城市交通能够极大的便利。但是这玩意估计会用在专业领域，毕竟风险较大，很容易碰撞到建筑物，也需要专门的航道。目前无人飞机爱好者都需要到郊区比赛，飞行滑板距离我们还需要多少年？飞行照片非常酷炫，我贴了张照片在公号，一定要看一下。5、中国工程院院士邬贺铨的数据显示：2020 年 8 月我国 IPv6 活跃用户数达 3.65 亿。丘孔点评，ipv4的资源过早的被米国机构占用，我们全国的数量比不过人家一个大学，现在很多机房都是租用人家的ip地址，导致资金外流。ipv6是v4的超集，未来我们解析域名，只解析ipv6地址，也可以搞自己网站，至少保证在我国的访问的畅通性，那就很好了。还有域名资源，一年只是com域名，不知道我国要拿多少钱给某些机构。6、三星在韩国份额再创新高，苹果已跌至 10% 以下。7、日前，郝俊波律师事务所通过官方微信公号 “国际律师”发布消息称，阿里巴巴因证券欺诈案已经于近日被美股投资者诉至法院。具体而言，投资者指控阿里在 2020 年 10 月 21 日至 2020 年 11 月 3 日期间，就公司的业务和运营状况及发展前景进行虚假陈述，未向投资者披露与蚂蚁集团暂缓上市相关的重大不利事实。对此，蓝鲸 TMT 记者向阿里方面相关人士求证，对方暂未回复。丘孔点评，诚信很重要，股票都卖掉吧。8、特斯拉在美国加州Firebaugh启用了全球第一大超级充电站。具体来说，该站点配置了56个V3超充桩，位于洛杉矶和旧金山湾区之间。丘孔点评，丘孔一定会在近期找个电动汽车去体验一下，新事物都来这么久了，我还没有开过，简直有辱科技达人的称号。9、阿里巴巴推出了一款名为 “阿里云网盘”的独立 App，之后更名为 “阿里云盘”，启动页面显示，阿里云盘拥有 1T 存储空间，支持 5G 极速下载。目前阿里云盘个人云种子用户已开始发放邀请码，感兴趣的用户可以关注一下。丘孔点评，看到这个，不得不吐槽一下迅雷。拿了一手好牌，出了一堆昏招，云盘推出的这么晚，还赶上云盘大爆发；更可恨的是下载了只给500g，诱导你安装手机版，安装了手机版，还找不到手机碎片的地方。据说迅雷的名称跟雷军有关，我一点都不信，雷军应该不会有这样的视野。丘孔大言不惭，如果我做迅雷的ceo，也能秒杀现在的家伙。10、近期百度网盘增加了一个名为 “收集文件”的新功能，发起者可以创建收集链接，别人就可以把自己网盘里的文件直接塞到你的网盘里。该功能可设置的最长的搜集时间为 30 天，最多可以搜集 500 人分享的文件。还可以设置接收的文件类型，例如只接收视频、音频文件。丘孔，一个长期主义奉行者。2020年11月16日。哪怕帮你领先一分钟，也算丘孔报科技的欣慰了，希望得到哪怕一点帮助的朋友帮忙转发。
