Kilo Seven

SUNPOWER - We Do The Math (a two minute read ) The US uses 4 trillion kilowatts/yr . 4,000,000,000,000 KW/year, or 11,000,000,000 KW/day. There are peaks and troughs from day to day, but the maximum load days are in July when we have the most sunshine, so could reap the most power. Sunlight delivers over 5KW/square meter  (thermal) on average in the American Southwest.  11,000,000,000 / 5 =    2,200,000,000 square meters of sunshine needed if solar cells were 100% efficient. And, in 2026, it now outproduces coal power. Inexpensive screen-printed solar cells are 19% efficient , (yes, there are perovskite clay cells with 44% efficiency & other tricks to boost efficiency even further) but those are brand new, so let's go with the off-the-shelf well-proven systems, so we need    2,200,000,000 / 19% =  11,600,000,000 square meters, or ( 2,589,988 square meters per square mile ) 4,479 square miles of standard solar cells. Let's increase that c...

Well, this wasn't on MY scorecard for the second term of #AgentKrasnov.  Since #TrumpleThinSkin has ejected ALL the adults from the Cabinet, removed us from the WHO, & the new nominee of #ResidentDump to head the Public Health Service has utterly no experience in Public Health  (but is well experienced at Fox & Friends ), I am underthrilled by the appearance of this hemorrhagic virus which, unlike #Ebola, has demonstrated the ability to spread airborne with an R-zero of 2.12,  similar to the  1918 "Spanish Flu" .   Sadly, there's no specific anti-viral treatment for it, per The Lancet. The WHO has been coordinating a response with several countries. But Trump pulled out of the organization soon after taking office, and US leadership has been conspicuously absent in the global hantavirus response, experts say.   Here's an update  and another on 9 May. https://www.dutchnews.nl/2026/05/klm-flight-attendant-hospitalised-with-susp...

Popular Sweeteners Linked to Cognitive Decline in Surprising Study Consuming large amounts of artificial sweeteners is linked to a faster rate of cognitive decline, according to one study. Researchers suspect that these sweeteners may increase inflammation in the brain, slowing memory and critical thinking, though more research is needed. Experts explain whether you should cut back on artificial sweeteners. The observational study linked six artificial sweeteners to cognitive decline, but did not control for other factors. They were: Acesulfame-K (found in beverages, candies, baked goods, & as the sweetener Equal) Aspartame (often found in diet drinks & dairy products) Erythritol (used in many keto-friendly products, drinks, & as the sweetener Truvia) Saccharin (best known as the sweetener Sweet 'N Low) Sorbitol (often used in sweets) Xylitol (found in gums & oral care items) prevention.com/health/a70194979/artificial-sweeteners-and-...

"Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. Silverio Villegas González was an undocumented immigrant who was shot and killed at close range while allegedly trying to flee. He was dragged from his vehicle at a traffic stop after dropping his children off at school. The bullet went through the back of his neck. Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off duty ICE officer on New Years Eve in LA. The officer alleges Porter pulled a weapon on him but the family and other witnesses deny that. Renee Nicole Good was shot three times by an ICE agent who called her a “f*cking b*tch” after. ICE claims she was using her vehicle as a weapon despite multiple videos showing she was trying to drive away from the agent. 2 of the 3 shots were through driver side door. The ICE agent shot...
