You Want Heat with That? - Mitsubishi i-EV - Popular Mechanics

In less than 12 hours, then, I experienced all the hazards of EVs. Once mundane tasks suddenly required planning and thought. And one slight bobble—like the charging
inexplicably not working—could dash even the best laid plans. I’m not sure my feeble brain has the bandwidth left to compile the required permutations.

Errors in IPCC climate science » Blog Archive » Canberra electricity prices jump 17% due to Carbon Tax

The ACT despite being only the population (300K) of a medium city has an Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission (ICRC). There is no limit to bureaucracy here. Reading between the lines and noting the whingeing from ACTEW I suspect increases will not stop at 17%. I wonder what price hikes are due out in the States.

[Fred Singer] Meanwhile, a new angle has developed in Vancouver, BC.  Canadian climatologist Tim Ball jokingly wrote that "Mann should not be at Penn State but in a State Pen[itentiary]."  Mann then improvidently sued Ball for libel.  But this now leaves Mann open for the pre-trial discovery process, including a deposition under oath.  We shall see how this case develops.  Tim Ball has many ways to make his case in his defense.  I am hoping he will focus on the suppressed post-1978 data.  It would be fitting if Mann's data are used to destroy the IPCC's case for AGW.

One way or another, the truth will come out.  And when it does, we will witness a major earthquake that will encompass IPCC scientists, politicians in America and Europe, and the U.N.  Let's hope we don't have to wait too long for this to happen.
