America needs more renewable energy, and of course it needs food--and those two demands are on a collision course over farmland. Solar power is the fastest growing source of renewable power, but solar farms can take land out of crop production. As Harvest Public Media's Frank Morris reports, a growing field of study is searching for ways to get calories and kilowatts off the same land.

On the roads of California, a beacon of Tesla's innovation is once again making its rounds. Following a period of hiatus lasting several weeks, the "Project Highland" Model 3 from the electric vehicle powerhouse has resumed testing, bearing numerous design adjustments and advancements that hint at the company's ambitious strides in its relentless pursuit of the electric revolution. According to the electric vehicle enthusiasts at The Kilowatts, this prototype iteration of the Highland Model 3 unveiled a plethora of new features that could redefine Tesla's standard in the market, and possibly influence the whole electric vehicle industry. The car was spotted running with manufacturer plates, signaling its prototype status and intriguing onlookers with its latest developments.

Scott Ringlein is the founder and CEO of The Energy Alliance Group of North America (EAG). Raised as a farmer, educated as an engineer, and trained in the auto industry, Scott never thought his “automotive” career would end. But it did and led to the creation of a company that develops solutions to what many say is impossible.....making our world more energy efficient and less wasteful!After a chance meeting, words of wisdom, and a passion for being an optimist, Scott started EAG in 2011 to develop and deploy innovative solutions to energy, waste, and environmental challenges. With his team's expertise of combining technical and financial solutions, EAG has been solving the challenges that companies face when considering efficiency and conservation improvements. A recent success was the installation of a highly efficient compressed air system at the Detroit stamping plant made famous by the film 8 Mile. It reduced their operational cost by 60% and achieved a return on investment during its first year of operation.Scott also takes great pride in “Doing Good While Doing Well”. Recently awarded a trademark, Scott's innovative program called Kilowatts for a Cause®, will not only increase the adoption of solar as a renewable energy source, but also provide a renewable source of funding to charity partners over a 20-25 year period.Beyond thinking of new ways to help others, Scott loves spending time in Michigan's great outdoors and hanging out with his family and friends, both human and fuzzy.Connect with Scottwww.EnergyAllianceGroup.orgwhatspossible.todayGarzella Group

It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. HOW EARLY FSD ADOPTERS WERE LEFT BEHIND IN LIMBO - Elon Musk, for his part, has assured FSD buyers that their vehicles would have the necessary hardware when Tesla achieves full autonomy. And to some degree, Musk has stayed true to his word. Owners of older vehicles that purchased FSD were provided a free upgrade to Hardware 3.0. Tesla, however, has introduced its MCU1 to MCU2 retrofit as a paid upgrade. Quite unsurprisingly, some early FSD adopters opted out of the optional infotainment system update. This has proven to be problematic. - One prevalent theme among the early FSD adopters who contacted Teslarati with their stories was the lack of communication on Tesla's part. This is something that has been reported by longtime Tesla owners for some time now. And while it is understandable that Tesla is juggling a lot of balls in the air as it expands its business to other countries and other segments, having a responsive communications team, or at least investing some of its funds into the creation of one, would definitely not hurt. Original Source : https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-fsd-beta-missing-feaures-mcu1-limbo/ EV CANNONBALL RECORD SHATTERED BY DUO IN RENTED TESLA MODEL S - Doing so required a Herculean effort. Levenson, founder of EV promotion and rental company The Kilowatts, planned the run as part of his broader mission to demonstrate the capability and excitement of modern EVs. He'd partially accomplished that back in 2017, but because he was an employee of Tesla at the time, he did it mostly on the down-low. Now, he can share his story - His official record, set with friend and co-driver Josh Allen on October 22, 2021 in a 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range, would be 42 hours and 17 minutes. That beats the previous coast-to-coast electric vehicle record of 44 hours and 26—set in a Porsche Taycan—by over 2 hours. - He'd usually arrive with less than 10 percent charge and leave with around 50 percent. Those took an average of 18 minutes across his 24 stops, a total of just over seven hours sitting still. - Levenson swapped the wheels for the run, ditching the less efficient 21-inch wheels in favor of Tesla's more aerodynamic 19-inch "Tempest" ones. Original Source : https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a38095522/ev-cannonball-record-tesla-model-s/ TESLA MODEL S PLAID COMPLETE 0-100% SUPERCHARGING ANALYSIS - Earlier in the week, we conducted the InsideEVs 70-mph range test on a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid, in which the vehicle went 300 miles from 100% to 0% state of charge. Since we began and ended the range test at a supercharger, at the conclusion of the range test we had the opportunity to record a full 0% to 100% charging session on a V3 supercharger station. - Upon plugging in, the Plaid immediately shot up to 147 kW and then gradually crept up to the 250 kW maximum charge rate. That happened after two and a half minutes when the Plaid was at 5% state of charge. It then held the 250 kW maximum charge rate for 7 minutes, and at that point, the state of charge was 33%. - The new Model S will charge from 0 to 78% in 30 minutes, and it then takes another 30 minutes to add the final ~22%, further proving that if you really don't need the extra range, it's much better to unplug and move on after 20 to 30 minutes of charging. - The Plaid reaches 80% SOC in 31.5 minutes and the charge rate is down to 70kW.

Watkins stopped short of making that declaration, saying, "There are several places where we are not fully aligned with the API." - The CEOs of BP, Exxon, and Chevron also declined to outright ask the API to pull its campaign funding. Khanna asked them if they would leave the API if it continued its lobbying against electric vehicles. They all remained silent. - The API boasts revenue of over $238 million, according to its most recent tax filing. The Guardian reported in July that Shell gave the agency $10 million, noting that BP, Chevron and Exxon were also major contributors, despite their contribution sums remaining private.

In today's short podcast, Bryan discusses electric heat, how we use it in our work, and what it does.   Also called heat strips or heat elements, electric heat is a supplemental heat source that we usually see on heat pumps. We generally see them in fan coils within a cartridge or a kit at the top of an air handler. However, not all systems have backup heat.   We want to avoid running electric heat as much as possible because it is inefficient. There is almost nothing we can do to make heat strips more efficient; they will usually yield around 3.41 BTUs per watt.    We usually only run electric heat when a heating system can't keep up with the heat loss. However, the electric heat often runs more often than it should, which can cause inefficient conditions. You can avoid inefficient conditions by programming the thermostat properly.   If you reduce the voltage on the heat strips, the less heat they will produce. Current ratings also differ between 208v or 240v applications. When you have more voltage, you'll have more current as well.    In some municipalities, you may have to use a thermostat that keeps heat strips OFF unless the temperature is below a certain value, often 40 degrees. Your electric heat should also be the last resort for a system.   Heat strips also help with heating when a heat pump is in defrost. The defrost board backfeeds the electric heat. These heat strips are also often designed with an interlock that forces the blower on whenever the electric heat is on (but not the other way around).   Bryan also discusses: Kilowatts and electrical ratings Wiring and relays Wire sizing Furnace-to-heat-pump conversions Possible hazards If you have an iPhone, subscribe to the podcast HERE, and if you have an Android phone, subscribe HERE.   Check out our handy calculators HERE.

Tom Campbell asks why HB 951 was voted on after midnight, why it was negotiated behind closed doors and why it is even needed?

Global leaders are determined to combat climate change and lead the planet to "net zero". But how can energy-hungry organizations find real solutions in technology, when technology itself is a part of the problem?Today, host Michael Bird is joined by John Frey HPE Chief Technologist for Sustainable Transformation, Ian Henderson HPE Chief Technologist, Rasha Hasaneen from Trane Technologies, and Jordan Appleson, CEO of Hark, to discuss the dichotomy of looking to technology in the fight against climate change. We learn about the challenges of storing renewable energy, how businesses can save millions through energy efficiencies, and how Metallica and the humble Raspberry Pi can help...The long show notes for this episode can be found here: https://community.hpe.com/t5/HPE-Blog-UK-Ireland/Energy-innovation-Time-to-stop-idling/ba-p/7136237#.YLXOv_lueUk

L'energia eòlica i fotovoltaica s'està estenent a Catalunya. Però el que podria semblar una bona notícia, provoca una certa controvèrsia. Moltes d'aquestes instal·lacions estan planificades en sòl rústic i, en alguns casos, agrícola. És per això que Ona Pagesa convida a parlar-ne a Estela Val, de la plataforma Salvem Lo Pallars, Jaume Pedrós, responsable d'energies renovables d'Unió de Pagesos, Tomàs Cusiné, president de la DO Costers del Segre i Montserrat Coberó de Turalcat. Entre tots analitzaran els pros i contres d'aquests macroprojectes que, d'una banda, proposen produir energia neta i, d'una altra, malmeten el paisatge i la possibilitat de conrear camps.

In a video showcasing the Model S, Kilowatts founder Ryan Levenson mentions that he spotted the Model S outside of Tesla HQ in Palo Alto, California while getting lunch and test driving a new Model 3. While approaching the Model S, he immediately realized that the car's headlights were different than current production cars and turned around to follow it. That's when he noticed that the car had a different rear diffuser, new wheels, and sported wider arches. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

On today’s podcast:   Ford Mustang Mach-E Easily Goes 300+ Miles In Norway Porsche Taycan Turbo Turned Into Safety Car Lucid Air might have just beat Tesla’s Plaid Model S round Laguna Seca First Tesla Megapack Deployed in UK to Help Keep the Lights On Tesla reintroduces ‘Enhanced Autopilot’ Chinese carmakers lag behind in NEV quality: survey Mercedes EQS Spied Reminding Us It Will Technically Be A Hatchback High-power charging trucks become mobile power sources   Show #894   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 18th September 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketlace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   FORD MUSTANG MACH-E EASILY GOES 300+ MILES IN NORWAY "Ford is now testing its hot new Mustang Mach-e electric crossover/SUV in Europe. Naturally, the #1 place to take an electric vehicle is Norway, where approximately 70% of new vehicle sales are now electric (fully electric or plugin hybrid). That’s where Ford has been playing around with the Mustang Mach-E, and the results are looking good" says CleanTechnica: "ord shared that the “all-wheel drive model with a targeted WLTP driving range of 335 miles exceeded energy-efficiency expectations, travelling 301 miles non-stop from Oslo to Trondheim, finishing the journey with 14 per cent battery capacity remaining.” Not too shabby, and that’s not even the extended-range trim, which Ford expects to get a WLTP range rating of 379 miles."   Ford press release says: “Latest testing shows charge time has improved by nearly 30 per cent from early estimates, reaching an average of 73 miles of range within 10 minutes using IONITY fast charging, when equipped with an extended-range battery and rear-wheel drive.”   The UK homepage at ford.co.uk still has the old time of 58 miles. And 370 miles (Model 3 LR is 348, for £3,000 less, 75kWh battery). 150kW peak charge rate. 99kWh gross.   And if we're playing THIS game, the Model 3 can add 75 miles of charge in 5 minutes.   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/09/18/ford-mustang-mach-e-easily-goes-300-miles-in-norway/   PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO TURNED INTO SAFETY CAR "Porsche just introduced a new all-electric safety car in its Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland series, which this weekend had a 45-minute opening race on the Circuit de la Sarthe, as part of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France." says InsideEVs: "Meet the Porsche Taycan Turbo version, retrofitted to handle the job, but at the same time remain street legal. In fact, while the racing cars were transported on trucks, the Porsche Taycan Turbo safety car drove on its own from Germany to Le Mans on public roads. With 500 kW of power, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and more than 400 km (250 miles) of range, the Porsche Taycan Turbo is a pretty good choice for the purpose. It's not the first plug-in safety car, as several years ago BMW introduced the plug-in hybrid BMW i8 (and i8 Roadster) safety cars for the Formula E series, but it's one of the first that's all-electric."   https://insideevs.com/news/444796/porsche-taycan-turbo-safety-car   LUCID AIR MIGHT HAVE JUST BEAT TESLA’S PLAID MODEL S ROUND LAGUNA SECA "EV startup Lucid has only just announced its debut car, the Air, but is already setting its sights on lap records currently held by Tesla’s Model S tri-motor Plaid Edition. According to a trackside sleuth who goes by The Kilowatts on Twitter, Lucid was putting its tri-motor powertrain through its paces, and appeared to post a claimed 1 minute 33 seconds lap time at Laguna Seca racetrack in California. Scroll down for trackside footage of the Air in action." says The Next Web: "ccording to The Kilowatts, they recorded the Lucid Air’s time using their own stopwatch. Of course, this is an unofficial time, but on a racetrack where lap times are separated by fractions of a second, the Lucid seems to have a comfortable buffer over Tesla’s Model S Plaid Edition, which completed a hot lap of Laguna Seca in 1:36.55 last year. Lucid has been quite tight-lipped about its tri-motor setup, and the not-so-subtle leak of a Tesla trouncing lap time at its local racetrack is certainly a warning shot of sorts. Bear in mind, Tesla Battery day is next week, and one of the many things that could be announced is Tesla’s tri-motor Plaid Model S."   https://thenextweb.com/shift/2020/09/18/the-lucid-air-might-have-just-beat-teslas-plaid-model-s-round-laguna-seca/   FIRST TESLA MEGAPACK DEPLOYED IN UK TO HELP KEEP THE LIGHTS ON "In July Tesla Megapack and Tesla Autobidder AI entered the UK market. Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) and Harmony Energy have joined forces to launch their first UK battery system. This week, for the first time in the UK, a project using giant Tesla Inc. batteries was used to help balance supply and demand in Britain’s electricity market." according to Tesmanian: "National Grid spent 718 million pounds ($932 million) balancing the network from March to July to cope with low demand and high supply of renewable generation—39% higher than usual, according to BNN Bloomberg. A new computer system used by National Grid has allowed burgeoning technologies like batteries to be used in the balancing market more easily. The 7.5-megawatt Holes Bay energy storage plant in Dorset in southwest England is operated by Fotowatio Renewable Ventures BV and Harmony Energy Ltd."   https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-megapack-giant-batteries-are-being-use-in-uk-for-the-1st-time-to-keep-lights-on   TESLA REINTRODUCES ‘ENHANCED AUTOPILOT’ "Tesla has reintroduced the ‘Enhanced Autopilot’ option – offering a cheaper alternative to the ‘Full Self-Driving’ package for existing owners. Finally, the automaker ended up making the Autopilot’s Autosteer and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control standard on its vehicles and bundled the rest of the features into its ‘Full Self-Driving package’ (FSD)." according to Electrek: "The automaker started selling the FSD package for $5,000 and it has gradually increased the price to now $8,000 – following an update earlier this summer. It is leaving Tesla owners with limited and expensive choices. Now Tesla has reintroduced the option of an Enhanced Autopilot package for $4,000 – breaking down some of the features previously only available in the ‘Full Self-Driving’ package;. It’s the same Enhanced Autopilot package that Tesla used to offer and includes all the features that don’t require the automaker’s latest onboard self-driving computer."   EA is: Navigate on Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, Autopark, Summon.   https://electrek.co/2020/09/19/tesla-reintroduce-enhanced-autopilot-alternative-full-self-driving/   CHINESE CARMAKERS LAG BEHIND IN NEV QUALITY: SURVEY "China is the world's largest market for new energy vehicles, but Chinese carmakers still lag behind international companies in terms of vehicle quality, according to a JD Power China study released Thursday." says China Daily: "The study also finds that international brands perform better in the exterior, infotainment system, seats, powertrain, and interior categories, while Chinese startup brands like Nio exceed in driving experience, battery and charging. new energy vehicle owners not only expect technological and smart in-vehicle features, but also require high quality. That means carmakers must deliver vehicles with both high quality and advanced technology. In August, sales of new energy vehicles reached 109,000, up 25.8 percent year-on-year, according to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers."   http://www.chinadailyglobal.com/a/202009/17/WS5f6328eea31024ad0ba7a387.html   MERCEDES EQS SPIED REMINDING US IT WILL TECHNICALLY BE A HATCHBACK "Now that the new S-Class is out and about, we’re gradually turning our attention to its electric equivalent in the vast Mercedes range. Unlike the EQ C based on the GLC, the EQS will distance itself from the S-Class by riding on a dedicated electric car platform. We can say the same thing about the styling as while the two crossovers have similar proportions and some common design traits, the EQS looks far more futuristic than the traditional Daimler flagship." reports Motor1.com: "A fresh batch of spy shots from the Nürburgring reminds us Mercedes is taking a more practical approach compared to the Taycan and E-Tron GT. While the Porsche and Audi EVs are sedans, the EQS will be a hatchback / liftback as denoted by the visible outline of the large tailgate in the adjacent images. The Tesla Model S has a similar setup, whereas the electric Jaguar XJ and BMW i7 will be sedans judging by the most recent spy photos."   https://www.motor1.com/news/369809/mercedes-benz-vision-eqs-frankfurt/   HIGH-POWER CHARGING TRUCKS BECOME MOBILE POWER SOURCES From Track Experiences to the Ice Experience in Finland, the Taycan is now an integral part of Porsche’s customer driving programmes. However, not everywhere provides the adequate infrastructure for charging the electric sports car en masse. Meet Porsche’s innovative solution: a fleet of stand-alone, high-power charging trucks that offer mobile charging on demand. The Hungaroring in Budapest was the venue for a special Porsche Track Experience just a few days ago, where “Soul on Track” offered customers the opportunity to test the Taycan on a circuit. Such driving events present organisers with a particular challenge, however: when a large number of Taycan cars need to be charged quickly and simultaneously, the local infrastructure isn’t always up to the job. Without a satisfactory solution on the market, Porsche wasted no time in creating its own. With a power rating of 3.2 megawatts, ten Taycan can be charged simultaneously at maximum speed. The battery buffer storage unit has a capacity of 2.1 megawatt hours. This means that up to 30 Taycan in total can be charged by the energy storage unit. The latter is generally recharged with renewable power from the power grid. For example, during a three-week customer event in the Portuguese city of Portimao in November 2019, the power came directly from the nearby photovoltaic systems. The trailers can be recharged very quickly – under good conditions, they are fully charged again within four hours.   https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2020/company/porsche-high-power-charging-trucks-mobile-power-sources-22285.html     You can listen to all 893 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   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) AVID TECHNOLOGY (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)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)   ALAN ROBSON (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) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRENT KINGSFORD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DARREN FEATCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JOHN C SOLAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (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) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

La semana pasada, los parlamentos alemanes aprobaron leyes para terminar el uso del carbón para generar energía. Esto coloca a Alemania como la primera economía desarrollada en independizarse de dicho carburante. La meta es cerrar la última planta de generación de energía con carbón para el año 2038. Sin embargo, a diferencia de sus vecinos franceses, que por cierto están locos por la energía nuclear, Alemania también quiere eliminar el uso de energía nuclear para el año 2022. En este trayecto a energías limpias se gastarán 45mil millones de euros en inversión en energías limpias. No todo es color de rosa, habrá un buen número de desempleados relacionados con la minería de carbón por ejemplo, pero se preparan para trasladarlos a sectores como el turismo y aún así, esta noticia es alentadora. Esta actitud contrasta por completo con la tomada por Trump, quien argumenta que el cambio climático es una estrategia mediática China que busca agredir a la economía americana. Esta noticia también es importante si tomamos en cuenta que la Administración de Información de Energía Americana preveé un aumento de la demanda global de energía para el 2050. Aunque el mayor incremento en la demanda energética se dará en Asia, cada clic que damos en nuestras aplicaciones demanda una cuota alta de energía en cualquier parte del mundo. Así que la carrera es contra reloj. Como nota al calce me gustaría comentar que, para poder alcanzar la ambiciosa meta, Alemania está buscando generar acuerdos con otros países que tienen mayores porcentajes de irradiación. Por ejemplo, si se dan una vuelta por los documentales de la DW, podrán encontrar uno en donde fundaciones de energía solar Alemanas financian la adopción de equipo solar en Marruecos a pequeños productores y mezquitas. “Mezquita verde” es el programa, no es de extrañarse que el acuerdo para dicha coinversión sean unos cuantos kiloWatts por hora del magnífico sol marroquí. ¿Ven a México caminando en dirección Merkel o caminando en dirección Trump?

In this episode Our Country Cottage reaches out to say it has lost power, the solar control unit stops logging and snow. In The Beginning, ITB, Month 23, June, standing water and a walk through inspection. In The Beginning, month 23. ITB is the part of the podcast where I collect all my emails, texts, logs, notes, pix etc to try to give the best recollection of the early days of OCC, Our Country Cottage. It seems to be getting harder and harder to figure out as the changes are getting smaller and smaller and sometimes none at all. I have vivid memories of arriving at the site and finding nothing had been done. Finding no one there was now getting common place but there was always hope that you just happened to miss them and stuff was getting done anyways. The next few months seemed to be the worst. Shure I had spent my first nights there but always in the back of my mind I had to be ready just in case someone showed up to do work. At this point OCC really didn’t feel like ours, yet. If you recall I ended last podcasts, ITB, still at OCC on my first two day stay. The beginning of a new month had me trying the downstairs shower for the first time. There seemed to be plenty of hot water, as I took my time with no signs of it cooling off. Happy, happy. Toast and coffee for breakfast and I took notes as to how much power the coffee maker and the toaster took. Outside was muddy and wet. I had planks on the mud to get to the generator and propane tank. I put down a couple of those wooden shipping pallets, one in front of the gen and one by the propane tank, to stand on. A rustic look for sure. With the grass and weeds starting to show an interest in growing I started looking into what it would take to convert the tractor from the winter snow moving configuration, to the summer grass lowering configuration. The tractor had been delivered in winter mode, with a promise the dealer would send someone out to help with the first conversion. Manuals were read, pix were taken and some loose ideas were mocked up with the idea of putting the heavy attachments on moving dollies so that I could wheel them around easily in the garage, once they were taken off of the tractor. The garage offered a nice smooth cement floor. And thus ended my first ever stay at OCC. I was back for a one day visit, 4 days later. There were signs of snow and standing water, still. I topped up the batteries and took the data from the temperature loggers. There was an increase in temperature in the utility room that coincided with me turning up the temperature on the hot water tank. Another 4 days pass and I was back for another overnight stay. Things were greening up, but there was a lot of mud to contend with. That damp corner, in the crawl space, was back adding urgency to getting the land, outside, to drain better. That will have to wait till we get a dry patch. If you think things get messy when to walk in mud, try driving a tractor through it while attempting to move some of it with a blade. It could only end badly. On the bright side, I got my first deer pics standing in tall grass to the south. Capped off the day with some moon images. The next day the project co-ordinator and the site supervisor were up for a walk through and to see what was left to do. This produced three pages of notes of items such as, marks on floor, dings in cabinets, missing light fixture or two, rusty roof edge, missing bits of siding, footings for deck stairs, broken window trim and on and on. Like I said, three pages of stuff. The project head had his own list which ended up with 17 or 18 items to be seen too. Some overlapped. His form was titled the Pre Delivery Inspection form. PDI for short. There was a place for the builder and a place for the home owner to sign. Neither were filled in that day. He did take those skylight blinds, that were the wrong size, with him, though. Handy tip, take pictures of paper work, use your phone, you then have a date stamped copy to refer to. I ran the dishwasher for the first time after turning on its water and setting a few things. On the last day of this visit I saw a red fox cross from the south and through the mud to the parking area. It was this day that I did the first load of laundry in our combo washer/dryer unit. A lot of manual reading and informed guesses got the job done. It actually produced some dry, clean items. A week goes by and I go up for a one day visit. The generator hadn’t run for awhile so I decided to start it manually for exercise. It fired up right away but was not charging and produced a “Start Fault” event. I cleared the error and put it back into auto. The gen stopped by itself five or ten mins later. Not sure what to make of it I left it. The site supervisor and helper showed up to drop off their work trailer and promised they would start working, again, the following day. It had been a while since much had been done. Another week passes and I am back for a longer stay. I managed to get pix of a large woodchuck on the stack of leftover bricks from the fireplace. Yup, leftover bits a pieces from construction were still scattered about adding to the ambiance of Our Country Cottage, in the mud. If you remember when I purchased the tractor I was told that they would send someone up to help me with my first conversion from winter to summer mode. That is, replace the snow blower and rear blade with the mower deck. Now, at the time of purchase, I was still under the impression that all I had to do was drive off of one and drive onto the other. Those TV commercials made it look so easy. And yes, I have to admit, there was a lot of wishful thinking going on there. With the passage of time and the reading of manuals etc, I became more aware of the reality, that it was much more than that. Good to their word, the actual guy that sold me the tractor, was the one that came up to show me how it was done. Try to get that in the city. I had already removed as much as I felt comfortable doing in prep for the visit. So the actual snow blower with its hydraulic lift kit and the rear blade were out of the way on customised movers dollies. The smooth cement of the garage floor made pushing these thing around easy. The salesman/tech arrived on time, with his own tools and went to work removing the driveshaft extension and a couple of mounting brackets. He then hung the auto connect unit for the mower deck and adjusted it. It was now time to drive the tractor onto the mower. He instructed me how to line it up and then drove it on, can’t remember if he did it or I did it, but it hooked up with no problem. There were some other minor adjustments but that was that. When I engaged the blades, it sounded like a jet engine spooling up. Needless to say I wear a hard hat with hearing protection while mowing. Already to mow the next day but it rained. It was while I was sitting on the couch watching the rain fall that I saw that red fox approach from the south again. This time I was ready and got some great pix while sitting on the couch. You can’t beat wildlife photography that you don’t even have to stand up for. I had been running my emergency alert system for a bit with various degrees of success. During this wet day I started looking into the code to see if I could make it work better. Being very power conscious I checked the performance and found it was running the main processor at 100% and consequently using more power than it needed to. OK it doesn’t use a lot of power anyway but every bit you can save helps. Bottom line, with the addition of a couple of lines of code added I got it down to 35%. At last, the last day of the visit I got to mow our one kilometre of fun. Pix were taken of the tractor and its new appendages along with pics of the drive with freshly mowed sides and centre. I also noticed that the baseboards and window trim in the loft over the garage had been installed. That wraps up ITB for month 23, a soggy June for sure. Now on with OCC, an update. With two and a half months since my last update, in some ways a lot has happened and in some ways not so much. The last podcast has my partner and I loading up the utility trailer with trash ready for a dump run. It wasn’t clear when a run to the dump could be done as the weather was getting colder and colder and chance of snow getting greater and greater. A flash of inspiration told me to put the loaded trailer in the garage ready to tow. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, my alert system told me one cold morning that Our Country Cottage was colder than norm. It was down to 2 and a quarter degrees C, just above freezing. I decided to go have a look. When I arrived I found the mud room was warmer than the livingroom along with the master bedroom being toasty as well. The thermostat in the living room was showing the temperature well below what it was to but it was not calling for heat. It was like the zones swapped. Very confusing. I checked and readjusted the settings for all the thermostats. That seemed to kick them into action and they were now calling for heat. Not very reassuring. I built a fire to help get the temp back up. There was snow on the ground about 4 or five inches. Didn’t have the time to clear the drive but I did use the roof rake to get about three inches of snow off of the solar panels. Always amazes me that the snow collects on them at that steep an angle. I topped up the batteries with distilled water and then collected all the data I could. The data loggers and the solar control system logs. I found that the logging for the system had stopped about a week earlier. Great, again with no data for the time period I need. Packed up and headed back to the city. Two days later and another alert system email. This time no power. Did the generator fail, again? So back I went. A nice sunny day. The batteries were down to 38% and the solar panels were charging at 7.2 Kilowatts. That’s the rated max for the array. Good stuff. The solar control reported that the generator had a “Fault No AC” error (IE generator was running but the system did not see any power). That being said the temperature inside was OK. Outside the gen showed no errors and the oil level was good. Propane was good at 68%. Hmmm. In the battery room I found the input breakers from the generator were tripped. I reset them and went back into OCC. At the solar control panel I pressed the manual start button for the generator and it fired right up. The only thing I can think of is that every so often different demands on the system line up and draw just a bit more that those breakers can take. It happens so infrequently (this is the second time ever) I don’t mind living on the edge. I collected the data again. This time the controller had been logging. Starting to suspect a certain SD card as causing the problem. The gen was still running when I put it back into auto and with the batteries at 69% continued to run as I left. Nine days pass with no more heart stopping emails, only the good emails telling me that the inside temps are holding ok. I decide to go up for a couple of nights. Another nice sunny day. My fave. The batteries were at 79% and being charged by the sun. Yes, the generator had stopped. After building a fire, I vacuumed OCC for the first time in a long time. I then plowed the drive. Back in OCC, wearing long undies and a tuque, I built another fire and had supper. Going to bed that night was a challenge. Even with long undies on, the bed was very, and I mean, very cold. The next morning brought snow and another chance to clear the drive and the panels. Oh joy. The last day of this visit had me topping up the oil in the generator and checking the propane level. 62% ok. This visit was somewhat miserable with the weather being mostly grey and overcast and not being able to stay warm inside. Also, with the trash trailer still parked in the garage my vehicle had to stay outside in the cold and snow. I was starting to think of where else I could put it in the future. Anyway, it didn’t help. With a masonry fireplace, a three day stay is not enough. The real heat was probably starting to happen the night I left. That’s probably why I was staying a week at a time before the gen broke last year. It was just over two and a half weeks before I went back again. I took up some more distilled water and topped up the batteries. I also checked and topped up the generator oil and noted the propane was down to 58%. Two days later, a break in the weather gave us the opportunity to take the utility trailer out of the garage and to the dump. Over eight hundred pounds of recycling and trash were disposed of. The empty trailer was then stored in the Quonset freeing up space in the garage. There was another longer delay before I would return, almost two weeks. Prepping for the holiday season had some part of that I guess. Anyway I had decided that OCC was not going to interrupt my xmas and to that ends I decided to drain OCC of its potential toilet tank bursting water and add RV anti freeze to the tender parts. The driveway, that kilometre of fun, demanded to be cleared again and at a point far down the drive I broke a shear bolt on the snow blower. The purpose of the shear bolt is that if the snow blower jams because of ice or rocks etc the bolt would break before the impellers would bend or the snow blower transmission would strip out. A lot cheaper and easier to replace a small bolt. Anyway, I had to go back to the cottage for the tools I needed to make repairs before I could carry on. I now had only one spare shear bolt left. Mental note, get more. While driving back I had an epiphany! Why not keep the two wrenches required to change the shear bolt in the tool box that is on the tractor? How many years has it been? Well that’s where the tools are now! Gad. When I left the batts were at 100%, propane at 51% and I topped up the generator oil again. Our Country Cottage was well behaved during our merry making days, but on the very last day of the year I got an ominous “Power Has Been Lost” email. Dah Dah daaaaaaahhhh! So, this update does bring you up to date to the end of the year. Tune in next episode to see what the New Year brings to Our Country Cottage. Also in the next episode, ITB, In The Beginning, month 24, will anything get done, will there be progress to the completion of OCC.

This episode In The Beginning ,ITB, month 19 reveals progress in some areas and failures in others. An Our Country Cottage update has me staying over a couple of nights at our country cottage for the first time in over six months. And now on with ITB, In The Beginning, month 19, February. More pictures, texts and emails sifted through to give the best recollection of how Our Country Cottage came to be. This month was cold and snowy (February, go figure) with lots of challenges. There were seven trips made to Our Country Cottage, this month, some in weather I would have normally stayed home in, even in the city. There were reasons I had to make the trip whether I wanted to or not, mainly when power fails. One such trip I made was shortly after a major snow storm. Keep in mind that roads are plowed in order of importance. The main highways will always be the first followed by the secondary ones etc. Well, Our Country Cottage access road is about third and fourth down the list. And the kilometre of drive is all on me. It is a good thing to make note of the roads you travel on, to your retreat, and, the order in which they are serviced. Best done while you are not in emergency mode. So I planned my trip keeping to the main roads as long as I could. As I turned off, on the first secondary road I realised that one lane had been cleared. The plow was a couple of miles ahead, making a return pass. I was lucky that there was no other traffic. Then onto a lower priority road (read not plowed yet) where only several vehicles had driven, leaving me tracks to follow. The tracks became less and less numerous, until it was clear, I was following one track made by one vehicle. I was in luck, as he had gone where I was going, turning onto yet another lower priority road (read, lucky to be plowed within three days of snow fall). The track went for about a Kilometre, or so, before it turned off into his drive. I was on my own. The road was poorly defined with the snow being nice and smooth cross the road and ditches. Just stay in the centre, between fences, poles or what maybe ditch edges. My vehicle is a very capable four wheel drive unit, with good ground clearance. The eight or so inches of snow was doable. I remember informing our painter not to bother coming out as planned. That vehicle, a compact town car, would have had problems just following the tracks. So with the driving conditions from the city to the country aside. Even before my first visit for the month my site contractor reported problems with the solar/power system. The batteries were down to 43% and the gen wasn’t kicking in. So picture this, my contractor is trying to work on Our Country Cottage with a power system that he is completely unfamiliar with, asking me questions about the same system, that I have very little knowledge about, and I am trying to relay info from the contractor to my solar guy. What could go wrong? On with the story.. My first visit of the month found the previous days power problems somewhat resolved with the batteries now being fully charged. On the positive side the railings were being installed on the stairs up to the master bedroom and around the upper landing. This made me very happy as without the railings, the upper landing was a disaster waiting to happen. There was a short section of railing at the bottom of the stairs that was wrong. Don’t know if it was a measurement thang or a manufacturing thing, but the corrected section wouldn’t be installed till next month. It was also pointed out to me that one of the side windows in the living room had a crack in it. Apparently these “pressure cracks” are not uncommon. I took the opportunity to take a picture of this three foot crack and to document all the other chips, scrapes and broken bits of window trim I could find to report to the window company and hopefully get fixed at the same time. I took another trip up the following day, being somewhat nervous about the power situation, and found the garage door divider in the back bedrooms installed and the lighting fixtures were being installed. And it was this day that I built the first fire in the masonry fireplace. I had bought some firewood from a gas station in the city with me. As this was the first time, I took it easy by making a small fire. It worked very well even with my usual over thinking the type of wood and the dryness and building the fire exactly as the instructions showed. I remember telling the contractors that the masonry heater was just that, a masonry heater and not garbage burning place. Only firewood of a specific dryness and wood type would be used. Anyway, I took pix of the first smoke out of the chimney that day. Three days pass and I am back. I note that the generator has run for 62 hours of the past 96 hours. The solar side of the power system had shut down again by a breaker being overloaded. This probably accounted for the high generator hours. On the positive side, most if not all, of the light fixture were installed and working with LED bulbs I had supplied. To get an idea of what the flu was doing on the chimney I put my camera on its back thru an inspection hatch at the bottom of the chimney. I took a series of pictures up the chimney along with pictures of the flu handle position. So now I know how far to pull out the flu when I need to. I then built the second ever fire in the masonry heater. A ceiling fan in the master bedroom was now in place and a false ceiling in the downstairs bedroom was installed to conceal the garage door and track when in the up position. Four more days and we are edging to the middle of the month. The gen is at 942.8 total running hours with the propane at 35%. That’s another 54.4 hours. Lots of controller pix taken, trying to figure out what is going on. And, to my great relief, the solar control panel can now be, and was, relocated from the battery room, to the back hall. This is going to make things so much easier, not for just me but for my contractor, who has to feed me info when I am not there. Yay! The cook top is in the kitchen and the laminate flooring has been laid in the garage loft. A full week passes before I return. The gen is now over a thousand hours at 1005.4 and propane is down to 24%. Outside, all the deck railings are done except for the front and there is an extension on the septic tank. Previously the septic tank hatch was just above grade and I was concerned that surface water might get in if there was a flood. Plus there was an electrical box and some wires laying on top. I also noticed that the excavator was gone and there was a lot of bare soil exposed around the hatch, cottage and up the slope to where the septic mound was to be and indeed might be. The outside entrance to the battery room is a large metal hatch that can be opened entirely to get easy clear access to getting things like batteries in and out. In the hatch, there is a smaller man sized hatch which created a much easier man access. The whole hatch/man hatch was powder coated metal. This gets very slippery when wet, icy or snowy. In fact, after falling flat on my back twice, in less than five minutes, I asked if something could be done. The answer came in the form of a metal grid that was installed around the man hatch. It works great. A stack of sheeting was on the ground to the east of the cottage ready to be installed in the crawl space. Inside, the carpet had been installed on the landings and stairs up to the master bedroom. A crease was clearly visible running the full width of the lower landing. It stuck out like a sore thumb. I took pictures and reported it. I was told that this was the last of the roll and that they would have had to order another full roll to finish the job. I replied that I thought I was dealing with and paying a carpet store, not an end of the roll discount warehouse. I was told that they would send someone out to fix it. And, by my next visit, it had been fixed. Before my next visit, with the aid of my pix and info I managed to send to my solar guy, he figured out that a breaker had been under rated for our project. Some heavier wiring and a heavier breaker would be needed to correct the problem. He said that they would cover the labour costs if I would pay the hard costs. As this project was a bit of an experiment, I agreed. I also believe that most of the problem was that we were still under construction and the place was still being heated by that little electric heater. Three days before my next visit the breaker tripped again and the batteries got down to 39%. That is below the level that the inverter works, so, no power in Our Country Cottage. Did I ever mention that this probably would have been done much easier in the warmer, spring, summer or fall, months. It was about this time, in the week between visits, that the plumber was trying to get water into the house. Our first site supervisor had the well drilled and a pump put in along with the pipes and wiring needed to get from the well to the cottage. The pump wasn’t working and the only thing I had to go on was an invoice from the site supervisor with minimal details. Remember, this is the one that died in a car crash about a year ago. He had done this on his own, not involving the cottage supplier/ builder. This wasn’t an uncommon practice, especially out in the country. He also arranged for the septic work too. The cap on the well head was generic with no company name on it. I then remembered that when I first saw the well pipe sticking out of the ground I took pictures of it. When I found the pix they had a name of a company cast on it. I didn’t know if it was the company that drilled the well or made the cap but I found a phone number and I called them. Yes, they were the ones that drilled the well. Great! I explained that the pump was not working and asked if they would come out and have a look. Things then seemed to get a little awkward on the phone and I was passed to their account department, where it was explained to me that there was money still owing on the job. The site super had paid most but not all of the bill even though I had paid him in full. I was told that they couldn’t do anything until the account was cleared up. Long story short, the account got cleared up and a crew was scheduled for later that week. It has been a week since my last site visit, but as you can tell, stuff still happens in between. This visit the generator is up to 1072 hours and the propane was at 50%. Some had been added, but again because of the high cost, not filled. Oops! I said 172 hours in the podcast, but I meant 1072. Inside, the carpet had indeed been fixed and looked brand-new. There was a wooden hand rail cap installed on the railing, also looking good. Just need that missing lower section of railing etc. Some areas of Our Country Cottage were looking very good, clean and ready to go. Very encouraging. I took more pix of controllers, etc, for further analysis. My next visit was three days later but the system went down in between, again. Batts down to 40%. That dang breaker, middle of the winter thang. Reset the breaker, run the gen, etc. So back on site and the well people were good to their word showing up with a two man crew and a specialized truck designed to deal with our problem. Pulling up 240 feet of pipe and wire with a bad pump on the end. It was a very cold and windy day but the guys were used to working in these conditions. They just went at it. My contractor and I would go out every so often to check on things, but even fully suited up, we couldn’t stay out long. Turns out the original pump was cheap and not up to the task. It didn’t stand a chance. A new, stronger pump, and new wiring were lowered back into the hole. While the pump was being swapped out and rewired the pipe was coiled on a large wheel thing, made for the purpose, on the back of the truck. The water in the pipe froze but, it would thaw again once put back in the ground, given some time. So, it was no surprise to everyone else, once everything was back in place and the pump was turned on, that nothing happened, right away. I noticed the pump pulled 2 Kilowatts when first turned on, then dropped to 1.3 Kilowatts. This related well to the 9 amps plus, while running, and 7 amps, when stalled, that the crew measured at the well head. They told me, give it two or three hours and it should be fine and they left. After two hours or so my contractor and I tried again. Still nothing. A hose had been run from the water inlet in the utility room along the back deck and out the west side of the house, so that when the pump ran we could run it for a couple of hours, to get rid of any sediment, instead of feeding it all over the house system. The contractor helped me bring the hose (empty but very stiff) into the utility room so we could close the door while we waited. I think he then left. While waiting for the pipe to thaw I found the sheeting in the crawl space was completed. This was not an easy task as the access to the crawl space wasn’t big enough for a full sheet to fit. So they had to be cut just to get them in. Add to that that the headroom was four feet, or lower, making it very difficult. Several rolling inspection stools were purchased, to help getting about. I tried the well pump an hour later, nothing. After another hour, I tried several times with no luck using the solar controller reading as a guide. For these trials I had been hanging the hose just over the railing outside just in case it all happed at once. I was bringing the hose in for the last time when I noticed some water dripping out of it. Good sign, I took it back out and turned the pump on again. Nothing. I brought it back in and in a combination of frustration and getting braver I turned the pump on while I was holding the hose. I got a trickle. I quickly took the hose out side where it stopped again. Being concerned about burning out the pump I turned to shut it off when I noticed a trickle that was starting to grow. Finally! A mad dash to get the hose in position .. yanking it out of the utility room dragging it down the deck, trying not to get everything wet. (-27 you know) I got it back in position and it was flowing quickly now. It was now dark. I let the water run for about two hours before I took an old drink bottle and filled it with the fruits of my labour. Nice and clear. I then turned off the pump, disconnected the hose from the inlet and pulled it back into the cottage, letting it drain on the way, and stuffed it down the hatch to the utility room. A bit more work had to be done before the toilets and sinks can be used, but a major hurdle conquered, anyway. As it turned out, this was the last day of the month, short month, February, and the next month gets worse. Next.. An, Our Country Cottage Update. Since last we spoke I stayed a couple of nights up at Our Country Cottage. My partner needed some books we keep at the cottage and there was a potential for transplanting a tree or something from the country to the city. As it turned out there was nothing suitable to be had. Anywho, arriving before me, and wanting to check out the new plumbing facilities, the pump was turned on and my chance to see if Our Country Cottage was holding pressure was flushed away. Oh well, next time. The main thing I wanted to get done was top up the batteries. It was getting close to two months and I like to do it every six weeks. They were thirsty, but still had plenty of fluid over the plates. I promise to do a care and feeding of batteries episode, once ITB settles down and stops sucking up all the time. My partner left after a couple of hours and I was left trying to figure out what needed to be done first, so I could stay the night. After all, it had been over six months. Change the bed linens. I took the duvet off of the bed and gave it a good shaking over the railing. I then stripped the bed and put all the linens in the washing machine, only the realizing that I had taken all fluids, including liquid detergents, back to the city during the freeze. Well, they were in the machine anyway, so I ran it like there was detergent. Freshen them up, if nothing else. While the machine ran I made the bed with clean linens that were in the drawer and put the duvet back on. Once finished I stood back to examine my handy work, and looked up at the ceiling fan. It was warm, so I knew I would be using it that night. I turned it on to see if anything was, um, resting on the blades. The ensuing plethora of falling bug carcases etc prompted another stripping and shaking out of the bed clothes. Also, mental note, turn on the fan first, before cleaning. Or better yet, vacuum the blades, maybe not. They are rather high. The night past uneventfully. I did have to get use to those Our Country Cottage noises again. When you are by yourself deep in the country lots of things go through your mind. It is nice this time of year, with the sun staying up so late and being up so early, hardly had to turn on a light. The next day, I fired up the tractor and got mowing early. I widened the drive and cut some of the areas I didn’t have time for last time. The grass was taller than the hood of the tractor in places. OK, it is a sub compact tractor, but still. Mowing that stuff took much longer, having to go over some areas several times. Because of the density of these mowables, I couldn’t judge some of my boundaries and high centered the tractor two or three times and only just getting unstuck, thanks to four wheel drive and a diff lock or what ever that, extra traction lever I press with the heel of my boot, is. It took the best part of the day and I still didn’t get everything mowed. Another peaceful night shattered only a couple of times by OCC noises. The next day brought a new problem, of the techy kind. I was going to update the system controller with a new software that had just been released. I was interested in getting it done as some of the problems it fixed, I had seen on my set up. Anyway, my netbook decided that this was the time it didn’t want to transfer any files to or from the SD card for me. Never happened before. I did as much as I could, collected logs and data from the controller etc. I then did some pest control outside. Some more tidying up inside and it was time to head back to the city. And I think that will be enough for this podcast Sooooo…. Next podcast, Episode#19 ITB Month 20, maybe the worse yet, and another OCC update.

Born in Bog Walk, about 2 miles from Kent Village, Donaldson first recorded for Studio One in 1964, although producer Clement Dodd declined to release the material  In the mid-1960s he formed The West Indians with Leslie Burke and Hector Brooks, and they had a hit with the J.J. Johnson-produced "Right On Time" in 1968, going on to record with Lee "Scratch" Perry and subsequently changing their name to the Kilowatts, but without further success. Donaldson then pursued a solo career, and submmitted "Cherry Oh Baby" to the 1971 Jamaican Festival Song Competition, going on to win the competition and giving him a big Jamaican hit single. Donaldson has won the competition six times, in 1971, 1977, 1978, 1984, 1993 and 1997. "Cherry Oh Baby" has been covered by both The Rolling Stones (on their 1976 album, Black and Blue) and UB40 (on their 1983 album, Labour of Love). The riddim has remained extremely popular – over thirty cover versions have been recorded, including an update by Donaldson himself. Two of his festival winners ("Sweet Jamaica" (1977) and "Land of My Birth" (1978)) were written by Winston Wallace. In an online poll held in 2103 by the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission, "Land of My Birth" was voted the most popular winner in the contest's history.

Curiously, French automaker Renault is backpedaling from its claims that it was a victim of industrial espionage. Something fishy is going on here. Autoline Daily has learned how much the battery packs in the Chevy Volt and the Nissan LEAF cost. Hint: a lot. COBO Hall, home of the Detroit Auto Show, is getting some significant upgrades over the next three years as part of a $211 million investment. All that and more, plus McElroy responds to your questions and comments in the ever-popular “You Said It!” segment.

This week we welcome Peter Hofbauer, a former diesel-engine designer at Volkswagen who’s now the Founder, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of EcoMotors, the company developing a revolutionary new opposed-piston engine. Beyond that, host John McElroy, David Welch from Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics talk about some of the top news stories from the past week, like Ford's recent management shakeup and the latest on Toyota's unintended acceleration problem. Of course the panel also discusses the future of the ICE and what EcoMotors' new powerplant can offer the auto industry as it shoots to deliver better fuel economy.
