Computer systems are becoming increasing pervasive in our society, including everything from small handheld electronic devices, such as personal data assistants and cellular phones, to application-specific electronic devices, such as set-top boxes, digital cameras, and other consumer electronics, to medium-sized mobile systems such as notebook, sub-notebook, and tablet computers, to desktop systems, servers and workstations. Computer systems typically include one or more processors. A processor manipulates and controls the flow of data in a computer by executing instructions.
To provide more powerful computer systems for consumers, processor designers strive to continually increase the operating speed of the processor. Unfortunately, as processor speed increases, the power consumed by the processor tends to increase as well. Historically, the power consumed by a computer system has been limited by two factors. First, as power consumption increases, the computer tends to run hotter, leading to thermal dissipation problems. Second, the power consumed by a computer system may tax the limits of the power supply used to keep the system operational, reducing battery life in mobile systems and diminishing reliability while increasing cost in larger systems.
For instance, conditioning a battery typically prolongs the life of the battery. The first step of conditioning a battery is ensuring that the battery discharges completely or at least discharges to a certain level. Such discharging should be followed by charging until the battery is fully charged, or at least close to fully charged. Conditioning avoids cycling the battery only through a small charge-discharge range and reduces the likelihood that the battery will be limited in charge range by its memory of previous cycles.
Unfortunately, battery conditioning involves discharging the battery, and prior art devices do not discharge the battery when a power adapter (e.g., direct current power from an AC adapter plug or an alternate external direct current source) is applied.
The present invention addresses this and other issues associated with the prior art.
Various features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals generally refer to the same parts throughout the drawings. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the inventions.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular structures, architectures, interfaces, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various aspects of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the present disclosure that the various aspects of the invention may be practiced in other examples that depart from these specific details. In certain instances, descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
Electrical power may be provided to various components of the computing device 102 (e.g., through a computing device power supply 106) from one or more of the following sources: one or more battery packs, an alternating current (AC) outlet (e.g., through a transformer and/or adaptor such as a power adapter 104), automotive power supplies, airplane power supplies, and the like. In one embodiment, the power adapter 104 may transform the power supply source output (e.g., the AC outlet voltage of about 110 VAC to 240 VAC) to a direct current (DC) voltage ranging between about 7 VDC to 12.6 VDC. Accordingly, the power adapter 104 may be an AC/DC adapter.
The computing device 102 also includes one or more central processing unit(s) (CPUs) 108 coupled to a bus 110. In one embodiment, the CPU 108 is one or more processors in the Pentium� family of processors including the Pentium� II processor family, Pentium� III processors, Pentium� IV processors available from Intel� Corporation of Santa Clara, Calif. Alternatively, other CPUs may be used, such as Intel's Itanium�, XEON™, and Celeron� processors. Also, one or more processors from other manufactures may be utilized. Moreover, the processors may have a single or multi core design.
A chipset 112 is also coupled to the bus 110. The chipset 112 includes a memory control hub (MCH) 114. The MCH 114 may include a memory controller 116 that is coupled to a main system memory 118. The main system memory 118 stores data and sequences of instructions that are executed by the CPU 108, or any other device included in the system 100. In one embodiment, the main system memory 118 includes random access memory (RAM); however, the main system memory 118 may be implemented using other memory types such as dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), and the like. Additional devices may also be coupled to the bus 110, such as multiple CPUs and/or multiple system memories.
The MCH 114 may also include a graphics interface 120 coupled to a graphics accelerator 122. In one embodiment, the graphics interface 120 is coupled to the graphics accelerator 122 via an accelerated graphics port (AGP). In an embodiment, a display (such as a flat panel display) may be coupled to the graphics interface 120 through, for example, a signal converter that translates a digital representation of an image stored in a storage device such as video memory or system memory into display signals that are interpreted and displayed by the display. The display signals produced by the display device may pass through various control devices before being interpreted by and subsequently displayed on the display.
A hub interface 124 couples the MCH 114 to an input/output control hub (ICH) 126. The ICH 126 provides an interface to input/output (I/O) devices coupled to the computer system 100. The ICH 126 may be coupled to a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. Hence, the ICH 126 includes a PCI bridge 128 that provides an interface to a PCI bus 130. The PCI bridge 128 provides a data path between the CPU 108 and peripheral devices. Additionally, other types of I/O interconnect topologies may be utilized such as the PCI Express™ architecture, available through Intel� Corporation of Santa Clara, Calif.
The PCI bus 130 may be coupled to an audio device 132 and one or more disk drive(s) 134. Other devices may be coupled to the PCI bus 130. In addition, the CPU 108 and the MCH 114 may be combined to form a single chip. Furthermore, the graphics accelerator 122 may be included within the MCH 114 in other embodiments.
Additionally, other peripherals coupled to the ICH 126 may include, in various embodiments, integrated drive electronics (IDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) hard drive(s), universal serial bus (USB) port(s), a keyboard, a mouse, parallel port(s), serial port(s), floppy disk drive(s), digital output support (e.g., digital video interface (DVI)), and the like. Hence, the computing device 102 may include volatile and/or nonvolatile memory.
Currently, a computer system 100 may not know the power rating of the adapter 104. Both an electrical load and a battery may demand power from the adapter 104, both simultaneously and individually. The power adapter 104 may supply power to the electrical load through VDC and charge a battery through a battery charger. The battery charger usually starts to charge Li-Ion batteries with a constant current. Usually, the power required by the battery does not depend on the power consumption of the electrical load. This may cause problems if the electrical load does not obtain sufficient power from the adapter. The adapter 104 may shut down due to excessive power demand if its protection mechanism functions properly. However, if protection mechanisms do not function properly, the adapter may overheat, resulting in damages.
Coupled to the adapter 105 are two power MOSFETs, QAD1, QAD2. The MOSFETs, QAD1, QAD2 are necessary as adapter power switches 152 (APS). One of MOSFETs, QAD1, ensures that no power is present at the adapter jack from the platform. The other MOSFET, QAD2, is used to block power flow from the adapter 104 if the adapter 104 is applying power when battery conditioning is taking place.
The present embodiment eliminates the need for two MOSFETs. In particular, the present embodiment eliminates the need of the MOSFET that is equivalent to QAD2 in
The power system 200 includes electrical loads 202 coupled to the computing device power supply 106. The electrical loads 202 may represent various components of the computing device 102 of
As illustrated in
The selector 206 is also coupled to one or more battery packs (208 and 210) and a power switch 212. The battery packs (208-210) may provide reserve power for the electrical loads 202, e.g., when the power adapter 104 is disconnected from the computing device power supply 106 and/or a power source (such as those discussed with reference to
The power adaptor 104 output current IAD may be determined through resistor RAD 216. In the battery pack 208, 210 current ICHR may be determined by resistor RCHR 214. Thus, the current going to the electrical loads 202 is ISYS. Therefore, the power adapter 104 output current IAD is equal to the total of the battery pack 208, 210 current ICHR and the electrical load 202 current ISYS.
In this embodiment, the selector 206 may switch the flow of power from the power adapter 104 on or off based on the state of the battery packs (208-210) and/or the electrical loads. For example, if the battery packs (208-210) are fully charged and the electrical loads 202 are off (e.g., the computing device 102 is shut down), the selector 206 may switch off the flow of current from the power adapter 104 into the computing device power supply 106. Alternatively, if the battery packs (208-210) are to be charged and the electrical loads 202 are off (e.g., the computing device 102 is shut down), the selector 206 may switch on the transistor 204 and the power switch 212 to allow the flow of current from the power adapter 104 into the battery packs (208-210). In this embodiment, the power switch 212 may include a suitable transistor controlled by the selector 206 for each battery pack (208-210), including a power transistor, such as a FET, a MOSFET, and the like.
Furthermore, the selector 206 may determine when to switch between a plurality of battery packs (208-210). For example, when a battery pack (208 or 210) is removed from the computing device power supply 106, the selector 206 may switch to any remaining battery packs. The power switch 212 may be utilized to avoid safety issues (e.g., by having exposed battery terminal pins) when a battery pack is removed.
The selector 206 is coupled to an analog front end (AFE) (224 and 226) within each battery pack, e.g., to switch the flow of power between the battery packs and the power switch 212. In an embodiment, the AFEs (224 and 226) are coupled to the power switch through one or more suitable transistors, including a power transistor, such as a FET, a MOSFET, and the like.
The computing device power supply 106 additionally includes a power monitor module 228 coupled to measure the voltage across the resistors 214 and 216. In one embodiment, the resistors 214 and 216 have fixed values. The power monitor module 228 may be coupled to measure the current flow through the resistors 214 and 216. For example, the power monitor module 228 may monitor the total system power consumption (e.g., by measuring the voltage across the resistor 216) and the battery pack charging power (e.g., by measuring the voltage across the resistor 214).
The power monitor module 228 is coupled to the power adapter 104 through an adapter feedback control (ADFC) pin 231. The ADFC pin 231 may detect the power rating of the power adapter 104. The power to the battery packs 208, 210 and the electrical loads 202 maybe controlled by adjusting the current input to the power adaptor 104 through the ADFC pin 231.
If additional power is desired by the electrical loads 202 and battery packs 208, 210, the electrical loads 202 may increase power adapter 104 output voltage (higher IAD) by adjusting the current through the ADFC pin 231 until either the power demand is met or power rating of the adapter 104 is reached, whichever occurs first.
The power adapter 104 not only supplies power to the platform but also functions as a battery charger to charge the battery. The adapter 104 output voltage (VDCIN) may be controlled by the current (IADFC) provided from the platform through the ADFC line. By utilizing the ADFC line, the system is able to condition the battery while the external adapter 104 is being used as the source of system power. Accordingly, the battery is then used as the system power source while the adapter power source remains available.
The computing device power supply 106 also includes a system management controller (SMC) 218 which is coupled to the battery packs (208-210) to monitor the current flow into and out of the battery packs to determine the charge level and capacity of each battery pack. In one embodiment, each battery pack may include a battery management unit (BMU) (220 and 222) to monitor the current flow through the battery pack. The SMC 218 is also coupled to the selector 206 to communicate the battery pack charge level and capacity information.
The power monitor module 228 manages power demand from the electrical loads 202. The power information may be provided by the power monitor 228 to the computing device power supply 106. The system power limit may be communicated to the power monitor module 228 through the system management controller (SMC) 218. The system management controller 218 communicates the current flow into and out of the battery packs 208, 210 to determine the charge level and capacity of each battery pack.
Accordingly, the present embodiment takes advantage of the fact that the adapter/charger voltage may be controlled from the platform. Because of this only one adapter power switch, QAD is required. Thereby reducing platform power (thermal) dissipation, saving board space and cost.
Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least an implementation. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification may or may not be all referring to the same embodiment.
Thus, although embodiments have been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that claimed subject matter may not be limited to the specific features or acts described. Rather, the specific features and acts are disclosed as sample forms of implementing the claimed subject matter.

The most often asked question post-DevOps introduction is: "How do I get started?" There's plenty of information on why DevOps is valid and important, but many managers still struggle with simple basics for how to initiate a DevOps program in their business. They struggle with issues related to current organizational inertia, the lack of experience on Continuous Integration/Delivery, understanding where DevOps will affect revenue and budget, etc. In their session at DevOps Summit, JP Morgenthal...

(VENICE, CA) -- Male performer Dane Cross is pleased to announce that he has joined forces with adult entertainment's finest adult talent agency, LA Direct Models.
''I have a lot going on right now,'' Dane offers, ''So it was time to switch to an agency that can facilitate my long term goals. Direct Models has a reputation for taking care of business. I am glad to be with them. I left a-List Talent on good terms and September Dawn and the rest of the crew over there offered their support.''
So what's next for Dane? According to the performer himself, he's looking to take his career to a higher level. Dane is stepping up his game. He's been working out with a personal trainer, on a diet, and really making sure his scenes are amazing every time.
''It's been a pretty good year so far,'' concedes Cross. ''I feel like I've kind of come of age in the business so to speak. I've kind of added a new side to the nerdy teenager Gen X thing I came in with and am being taken more seriously now as a capable performer and actor. I feel I can pull off more then just the nerdy roles and I am really pleased with the consistent positive feedback from the new companies I work with showing my new, Look.''

2004 Kia Optima Q&A
2004 Kia Optima Question: Engine Overheating
About 4 months ago my 2004 Kia Optima stating intermittantly overheating while driving. It did, however, blew a head gasket and radiator several weeks after that. The dealership repair the engire and replaced the radiator, but the car still overheats. I took it back to the dealership and that advise to replace the radiator hoses. I replaced both radiator hoses, timing belt, driving belts, and checked all of the fuses as well, but I still have the same issue of overheating. This issue occurs only when I have the A/C running and I make short stops like at red lights. When the A/C is not running, the call runs just fine without overheating. What could be the problem? - swat31
2 Answers
Answer 1
you have cooling fans that assist cooling that have to wor. when the ac is on, the fan must operate or the ehat from the condenser will cook the radiator and cause an overheating situation. Roy - mastertech6371

Evidence for involvement of TRE-2 (USP6) oncogene, low-copy repeat and acrocentric heterochromatin in two families with chromosomal translocations
ABSTRACT We report clinical findings and molecular cytogenetic analyses for two patients with translocations [t(14;17)(p12;p12) and t(15;17)(p12;p13.2)], in which the chromosome 17 breakpoints map at a large low-copy repeat (LCR) and a breakage-prone TRE-2 (USP6) oncogene, respectively. In family 1, a 6-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother were diagnosed with mental retardation, short stature, dysmorphic features, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A). G-banding chromosome analysis showed a der(14)t(14;17)(p12;p12) in both siblings, inherited from their father, a carrier of the balanced translocation. Chromosome microarray and FISH analyses revealed that the PMP22 gene was duplicated. The chromosome 17 breakpoint was mapped within an approximately 383 kb LCR17pA that is known to also be the site of several breakpoints of different chromosome aberrations including the evolutionary translocation t(4;19) in Gorilla gorilla. In family two, a patient with developmental delay, subtle dysmorphic features, ventricular enlargement with decreased periventricular white matter, mild findings of bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria and a very small anterior commissure, a cryptic duplication including the Miller-Dieker syndrome region was identified by chromosome microarray analysis. The chromosome 17 breakpoint was mapped by FISH at the TRE-2 oncogene. Both partner chromosome breakpoints were mapped on the short arm acrocentric heterochromatin within or distal to the rRNA cluster, distal to the region commonly rearranged in Robertsonian translocations. We propose that TRE-2 together with LCR17pA, located approximately 10 Mb apart, also generated the evolutionary gorilla translocation t(4;19). Our results support previous observations that the USP6 oncogene, LCRs, and repetitive DNA sequences play a significant role in the origin of constitutional chromosome aberrations and primate genome evolution.

Article: Complex chromosome 17p rearrangements associated with low-copy repeats in two patients with congenital anomalies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent molecular cytogenetic data have shown that the constitution of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) may be more complicated than previously thought. The complicated nature of these rearrangements challenges the accurate delineation of the chromosomal breakpoints and mechanisms involved. Here, we report a molecular cytogenetic analysis of two patients with congenital anomalies and unbalanced de novo CCRs involving chromosome 17p using high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). In the first patient, a 4-month-old boy with developmental delay, hypotonia, growth retardation, coronal synostosis, mild hypertelorism, and bilateral club feet, we found a duplication of the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A and Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) chromosome regions, inverted insertion of the Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome region into the SMS region, and two microdeletions including a terminal deletion of 17p. The latter, together with a duplication of 21q22.3-qter detected by array CGH, are likely the unbalanced product of a translocation t(17;21)(p13.3;q22.3). In the second patient, an 8-year-old girl with mental retardation, short stature, microcephaly and mild dysmorphic features, we identified four submicroscopic interspersed 17p duplications. All 17 breakpoints were examined in detail by FISH analysis. We found that four of the breakpoints mapped within known low-copy repeats (LCRs), including LCR17pA, middle SMS-REP/LCR17pB block, and LCR17pC. Our findings suggest that the LCR burden in proximal 17p may have stimulated the formation of these CCRs and, thus, that genome architectural features such as LCRs may have been instrumental in the generation of these CCRs.Human Genetics 08/2007; 121(6):697-709.

Article: Hominoid lineage specific amplification of low-copy repeats on 22q11.2 (LCR22s) associated with velo-cardio-facial/digeorge syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Segmental duplications or low-copy repeats (LCRs) constitute approximately 5% of the sequenced portion of the human genome and are associated with many human congenital anomaly disorders. The low-copy repeats on chromosome 22q11.2 (LCR22s) mediate chromosomal rearrangements resulting in deletions, duplications and translocations. The evolutionary mechanisms leading to LCR22 formation is unknown. Four genes, USP18, BCR, GGTLA and GGT, map adjacent to the LCR22s and pseudogene copies are located within them. It has been hypothesized that gene duplication occurred during primate evolution, followed by recombination events, forming pseudogene copies. We investigated whether gene duplication could be detected in non-human hominoid species. FISH mapping was performed using probes to the four functional gene loci. There was evidence for a single copy in humans but additional copies in hominoid species. We then compared LCR22 copy number using LCR22 FISH probes. Lineage specific LCR22 variation was detected in the hominoid species supporting the hypothesis. To independently validate initial findings, real time PCR, and screening of gorilla BAC library filters were performed. This was compared to array comparative genome hybridization data available. The most striking finding was a dramatic amplification of LCR22s in the gorilla. The LCR22s localized to the telomeric or subtelomeric bands of gorilla chromosomes. The most parsimonious explanation is that the LCR22s became amplified by inter-chromosomal recombination between telomeric bands. In summary, our results are consistent with a lineage specific coupling between gene and LCR22 duplication events. The LCR22s thus serve as an important model for evolution of genome variation.Human Molecular Genetics 12/2007; 16(21):2560-71. DOI:10.1093/hmg/ddm197 · 6.68 Impact Factor
Article: The use of ultra-dense array CGH analysis for the discovery of micro-copy number alterations and gene fusions in the cancer genome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Molecular alterations critical to development of cancer include mutations, copy number alterations (amplifications and deletions) as well as genomic rearrangements resulting in gene fusions. Massively parallel next generation sequencing, which enables the discovery of such changes, uses considerable quantities of genomic DNA (> 5 ug), a serious limitation in ever smaller clinical samples. However, a commonly available microarray platforms such as array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) allows the characterization of gene copy number at a single gene resolution using much smaller amounts of genomic DNA. In this study we evaluate the sensitivity of ultra-dense array CGH platforms developed by Agilent, especially that of the 1 million probe array (1 M array), and their application when whole genome amplification is required because of limited sample quantities. We performed array CGH on whole genome amplified and not amplified genomic DNA from MCF-7 breast cancer cells, using 244 K and 1 M Agilent arrays. The ADM-2 algorithm was used to identify micro-copy number alterations that measured less than 1 Mb in genomic length. DNA from MCF-7 breast cancer cells was analyzed for micro-copy number alterations, defined as measuring less than 1 Mb in genomic length. The 4-fold extra resolution of the 1 M array platform relative to the less dense 244 K array platform, led to the improved detection of copy number variations (CNVs) and micro-CNAs. The identification of intra-genic breakpoints in areas of DNA copy number gain signaled the possible presence of gene fusion events. However, the ultra-dense platforms, especially the densest 1 M array, detect artifacts inherent to whole genome amplification and should be used only with non-amplified DNA samples. This is a first report using 1 M array CGH for the discovery of cancer genes and biomarkers. We show the remarkable capacity of this technology to discover CNVs, micro-copy number alterations and even gene fusions. However, these platforms require excellent genomic DNA quality and do not tolerate relatively small imperfections related to the whole genome amplification.BMC Medical Genomics 01/2011; 4:16.

Basketball is really big here and the local out door courts have nightly games where you can just rock up and play. Yesterday Willem got some playing advice from a Dutchman who said he'd played for Holland (but we don't know who is is).

He was very nostalgic with her tits and would try anything to get in between them. She too felt nostalgic for his long cock and she longed to feel it. Jerry grabbed Kendras boobies and she couldnt resist. Before you knew it Jerry was titty fucking Kendra and she was loving it!

Study: Weather-Related Blackouts Doubled Since 2003
Theo Spencer, Senior Advocate, Climate Center, New York
I think it was either Cheech or Chong who said, "I'm fed up and sick of this." Well that's how many people here in the Northeast where I live feel about power outages caused by storms. If people are sick of it, that's because they've been losing power a lot more often over the last decade, all over the country.
That's the finding of report issued in the last week by ClimateCentral, an organization which studies changing weather trends, and tries to understand and explain their causes. The report says an increase in severe weather has led to a doubling of major power outages across the country in the past decade.
"Heat waves are hotter, heavy rain events are heavier, and winter storms have increased in both frequency and intensity," the report says. "To date, these kinds of severe weather are among the leading causes of large-scale power outages in the United States."
No power means no lights, no heat, no AC, no cell phone charging, no cordless phone, no TV, no elevators, no traffic lights and probably no work. It can also mean dangerous downed power lines, roads blocked by snapping power lines or trees, emergency services difficult to access, hospitals destabilized and a host of other serious problems.
American Electric Power (AEP) has service territory in 11 states and was one of the worst-impacted electricity suppliers, according to the report.
"(Al)most any storm system that moves across the country is going to hit part of AEP's service area," AEP spokeswoman Tammy Ridout told the Columbus Dispatch. AEP is headquartered in Columbus (OH).
The study analyzed 28 years of power outage data, supplied to the federal government and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation by utilities. It also found:
- A tenfold increase in major power outages (those affecting more than 50,000 customer homes or businesses), between the mid-1980s and 2012. Some of the increase was driven by improved reporting. Yet even since 2003, after stricter reporting requirements were widely implemented, the average annual number of weather-related power outages doubled. Non-weather related outages also increased during that time, but weather caused 80 percent of all outages between 2003-2012.
- 147 million customers lost power, for at least an hour and often far longer, from weather-related outages since 2003, an average of 15 million customers affected each year. Currently, there are 145 million customers in the U.S. A customer is a home or a business, or anyone who receives a bill from a utility, so the number of people affected by outages is likely much higher, from 300 million to perhaps half a billion or more over the decade analyzed.
- 59 percent of weather-related outages analyzed were caused by storms and severe weather; nearly 19 percent by cold weather and ice storms; 18 percent by hurricanes and tropical storms; 3 percent tornadoes, and 2 percent by a combination of extreme heat events and wildfires.
Most of these outages come from damage to large transmission lines or substations, as opposed to the smaller residential distribution network.
The culprit? "Climate change is causing an increase in many types of extreme weather," the study says.
Utilities like AEP and Connecticut Light and Power here in the Northeast are spending hundreds of millions dollars trimming tree limbs near power lines and storm-fortifying electrical substations. In a landmark case, the New York Public Service Commissioned required Con Edison to spend nearly a billion dollars to implement state-of-the-art measures to plan for and protect its electric, gas, and steam systems from the effects of climate change. The commission's decision noted the "obligation to address these considerations should be broadened to include all utilities."
All extreme weather events can't be linked to climate change. But the increasing number and severity can. To stave off the worst future impacts we need to act soon--as a series of UN reports made clear—to cut down the carbon pollution that's the main cause of climate change. The pollution comes mainly from vehicles and power plants.
The Obama Administration has already issued aggressive standards for vehicles and is in the process of issuing standards for new and existing power plants. Vehicles and power plants are the largest sources of carbon pollution in the United States. NRDC has a groundbreaking strategy for reducing emissions from existing power plants in an equitable and economically viable way.
President Obama has also placed an emphasis on preparing for the impacts of climate change.
The need is clear. Solutions are available. We need to act now.

"In that case I do wish that the EPA would take Global Warming seriously. A 30% improvement, by 2030, in just the coal burning CO2 emissions is far too little. I think that the official position was that the improved efficiency was not intended to imply a reduction in the coal industry's output. That is plain ridiculous. If ALL the USA's coal burning ceased, and all 1000 million tons of US coal ..."

"Also interesting to see an earlier version of this plan - some substantial changes in the intervening years. I wonder what this plan looks like by 2017-2018. Great plan - well thought out - reasonable and clear. "
