Sinjar in Iraq is "far less likely" after an assessment by United States Marines, Special Forces and the USAID disaster assistance relief team, the Pentagon said today. <br /><br />Less than 20 personnel briefly landed on the mountain, where thousands of Yazidis are trapped and facing a humanitarian crisis. <br /><br /><b>"The team has assessed that there are far fewer Yazidis on Mt. Sinjar than previously feared, in part because of the success of humanitarian air drops, air strikes on ISIL targets, the efforts of the Peshmerga and the ability of thousands of Yazidis to evacuate from the mountain each night over the last several days," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a statement. "The Yazidis who remain are in better condition than previously believed and continue to have access to the food and water that we have dropped." </b><br /><br />Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Tuesday that the United States sent a 130 member military assessment team to Erbil in the autonomous Iraqi province of Kurdistan to determine what further assistance the U.S. can provide to the Yazidis.<br /><br /><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/evacuation-yazidis-mt-sinjar-iraq-pentagon/story?id=24968686" rel="nofollow">Wha?

Sounds like an oxymoron but...<br /><br />A country can do many things if they issue mandates. However, for every mandated action there is a cost. Germany is no exception.<br /><br /><i>Under the coalition treaty, which devotes a separate section to the energy transition, the German government reaffirms its commitment to its three-pronged energy transition approach without prioritizing one of the goals; namely, to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time improving security of energy supply, as well as supplying affordable energy to its citizens. What is new and interesting is that the German government now makes further renewable energy development dependent on both cost efficiency and economic feasibility of the country’s entire energy system, while also taking into account network expansion and necessary base-load reserve capacity additions.<br /><br />According to the IEA total integration costs of increasing the supply of renewable energy sources will have to put a price on additional capacity in order to manage the intermittency problem while also maintaining power grid stability as well as put a price on transmission and distribution to integrate renewable sources located far from large demand centers. It should come as no surprise that such an energy architecture overhaul will come with a huge price tag in the short to medium term. Therefore, the coalition treaty also sets a new lower ceiling for renewables than previously projected. Germany plans to raise the percentage of renewables in the energy mix to between 40 to 45 per cent by 2025 and to between 55 to 60 per cent by 2035. This compares to 23.4 per cent in 2013. And most importantly, the coalition treaty declares conventional power plants – meaning brown coal-, hard black coal- and natural gas-fired plants – indispensable for Germany’s energy mix for the foreseeable future.<br /><br />Here the German government acknowledges two things. One, that renewable sources are not able to replace coal- and gas-fired power plants since their output depends on fluctuating weather conditions. Two, coal or natural gas capacity will then have to bridge any base load gap due to the legally-mandated shutdown of the last nuclear power plants in 2022. The typical capacity of a large nuclear power plant is 1 gigawatt with nuclear power’s share of the energy mix currently reaching still 15.4 per cent. As a result, Germany will have to add additional base load coal-fired or gas-fired power generation capacity and/or keep no longer profitable existing – i.e. not allowing them to go off the grid – plants as back-up to provide electricity during peak times. Given that even state-of-the-art gas-fired power plants are barely profitable under the current incentive structure and given that new gas-fired plants are immensely expensive to build, the only economically viable alternative left is coal-fired power generation...</i><br /><br />http://breakingenergy.com/2014/01/14/is-germany-rolling-out-the-red-carpet-for-rising-us-coal-exports/<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-28224669122411170462014-08-13T10:34:56.297-04:002014-08-13T10:34:56.297-04:00Baghdad — Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Malik...<i><b>Baghdad — Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Wednesday he will not relinquish power until a federal court rules on what he called a "constitutional violation" by the president to replace him with a member of his own party....</b></i><br /><br />http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Latest-News-Wires/2014/0813/Maliki-says-he-won-t-give-up-PM-post-until-Iraqi-court-rulesFarmer Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758671613961287976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52238246171819056962014-08-13T10:33:21.853-04:002014-08-13T10:33:21.853-04:00yeppers, it's all about the oil.yeppers, it's all about the oil.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-16566645803075011462014-08-13T10:33:08.323-04:002014-08-13T10:33:08.323-04:00Our Zionist is still touting the "Yinon Plan&...Our Zionist is still touting the "Yinon Plan".Farmer Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758671613961287976noreply@blogger.com
