When I was at RE+ in Anaheim a few months back, energy secretary Jennifer Granholm gave a talk about how solar and storage fit into the US energy plan. She talked about how fast storage would have to grow to enable solar to become a dominant form of energy, and about how recycling for both was a priority for the administration. Was cool to see that the secretary wasn't just a figurehead but actually understood this stuff. One of the leaders in battery recycling is Redwood Materials, a firm that is one of the few companies out there that can recycle 100% of an EV battery. The DOE just announced a $2 billion loan to them to allow them to scale up more quickly; within a few years they plan to be able to source enough materials from both recycled batteries and new materials to supply over a million EV batteries a year. Their materials will go to local manufacturers who are building batteries. Redwood will put up another $1.5 billion to get the factory built. Granholm went to Nevada to announce the loan. She talked about the need for lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel - not only for EV's but for demands like refinery catalysts. She commended Redwood for being able to recycle so much of the battery. And after she spoke, the governor of Nevada got up to say a few words. "Let’s give a round of applause to the secretary there. She gave me a good science lesson. Do you actually understand that science, or did you just memorize that?” He was apparently going for laughs at the pretty little lady saying science-y words - but got dead silence from the crowd. So while it's sad to see that that sort of thing still exists - at least it doesn't play well any more.

Seems like by far the most sensible thing to do. If you don’t tell them, there’s a small but real chance of getting caught in a random strike. If you do tell them, they’ll put a massive exclusion zone around him for any missile, drone, saboteur, and whatever the hell else they’re doing activity. The last thing Russia wants is a reason for western forces to get directly involved.

@riggerrob, you are mistaken. The motion for contempt means that there is an existing Court Order (aka FOAH or similar) that instructs a party or both parties to do something (e.g. pay for damages, reinstate membership and/or ratings, etc.), and that one of the parties has been refusing to follow the court order (e.g. shell out $150K, reinstate membership and/or ratings, etc.) So the other party, in this case Mr. G, had to file said Motion for Contempt in order to enforce the judgement/Court Order/FOAH/blah-blah-blah. There is no "debate" between Mr. G and USPA.

I read he took a 10 hour train ride with a small security detail, medical team and no air cover. Best, if true, they notified Moscow in advance he was going. That’s some serious beat down. That’s saying that if anything happens we’ll call it an intentional attempt on Biden and you really don’t want us thinking that. Have a borscht day.

So President Biden is in Kiev today. Giving support to Ukraine. Had trump stolen the election. trump would have been visiting Kiev today. Giving support to the Putin puppet government. Then likely flying on to Moscow to congratulate his bum buddy. For some more ass kissing. Clearly, jakee hasn't been around enough to poke, prod and keep you in line.

Lol, blaming democrats for pig-ignorant creationist fucktards is a new one for me

If you read the original document (as linked in the first post on this thread) it is Mr. G.'s "motion for contempt." It is not a judge's decision. So it is still the two parties (Mr. G. versus USPA) debating. A huge part of this debate is whether Mr. G. knew that someone lese was forging his signature on T.I. certification documents.

The "nothing extra" includes the batteries! As it happens I know a lot about drones and drone aerodynamics. I built my first one in 2011. (That's built, not bought). No way the drones in that picture are lifting those warheads.

To be fair, not recently....
