Ohio officially flipped to September - was hot and humid the past two weeks, this morning is breezy, cool, and makes me want to break out the chili pot.

High of 76 here. Should be almost done with AC for the year, but I think we might have one more bout of mid-80s before we're through.

Beautiful day here, 75°F and PC right now, I was just out running, broke 11 minutes so I'm happy.  This extra 60 pounds I accumulated since HS is not helping.

First day since the spring where it didn't hit 70 here.  Torrential rain too.  All that was missing was some football!

A patented process for converting alcohol sourced from renewable or industrial waste gases into jet or diesel fuel is being scaled up at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with the help of partners at Oregon State University and the carbon-recycling experts at LanzaTech.

Two key technologies power the energy-efficient fuel production units.


A single-step chemical conversion streamlines what is currently a multi-step process. The new PNNL-patented catalyst converts biofuel (ethanol) directly into a versatile “platform” chemical called n-butene. A microchannel reactor design further reduces costs while delivering a scalable modular processing system.

The new process would provide a more efficient route for converting renewable and waste-derived ethanol to useful chemicals. Currently, n-butene is produced from fossil-based feedstocks using the energy-intensive cracking—or breaking down—of large molecules. The new technology reduces emissions of carbon dioxide by using renewable or recycled carbon feedstocks. Using sustainably derived n-butene as a starting point, existing processes can further refine the chemical for multiple commercial uses, including diesel and jet fuels, and industrial lubricants.

So, they make ethanol, then butene, and then build that up to Kerosene?  Sounds expensive to me.

No shit Sherlock.

Can't solve it with him flying around in his private jet either.

This Ida storm is something else again. NYC closed. Devastation in LA. This was/is a bad one.
