Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil? - CounterPunch.org

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

Ever more gas-free homes
An increasing number of homes in the Netherlands are heated without the use of natural gas. In 2024, 11.2 percent of homes were fully gas-free, up from 8.7 percent in 2022. These homes are usually heated using a heat pump or are connected to a collective district heating system. This means they do not require a gas-fired boiler. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.

Eating more but growing less: Stagnant Philippine farms linked to widening rice gap
As of 2022 alone, Filipinos were eating 2.3 million metric tons more rice than the country produced—an 18% shortfall that has locked the Philippines into deeper dependence on imported rice despite years of government programs to boost local harvests.

Provability Models
In this paper, we study a new Kripke-style semantics for classical modal logic, named as provability models. We study provability models for the propositional modal logics K, K4, S4 GL, GLP and the interpretability logic ILM. Provability models combine features of Kripke models with the assignment of logics to individual worlds. Originally introduced in [Mojtahedi, 2022], these models allowed the first author to establish arithmetical completeness for intuitionistic provability logic. Interesti…

Evolution of wartime discourse on Telegram: A comparative study of Ukrainian and Russian policymakers' communication before and after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study examines elite-driven political communication on Telegram during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, the first large-scale European war in the social media era. Using a unique dataset of Telegram public posts from Ukrainian and Russian policymakers (2019-2024), we analyze changes in communication volume, thematic content, and actor engagement following Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion. Our findings show a sharp increase in Telegram activity after the invasion, particularly among ruling…

Beyond the Oracle Property: Adaptive LASSO in Cointegrating Regressions
This paper establishes new asymptotic results for the adaptive LASSO estimator in cointegrating regression models. We study model selection probabilities, estimator consistency, and limiting distributions under both standard and moving-parameter asymptotics. We also derive uniform convergence rates and the fastest local-to-zero rates that can still be detected by the estimator, complementing and extending the results of Lee, Shi, and Gao (2022, Journal of Econometrics, 229, 322--349).

Lightweight and Data-Efficient MultivariateTime Series Forecasting using Residual-Stacked Gaussian (RS-GLinear) Architecture
Following the success of Transformer architectures in language modeling, particularly their ability to capture long-range dependencies, researchers have explored how these architectures can be adapted for time-series forecasting. Transformer-based models have been proposed to handle both short- and long-term dependencies when predicting future values from historical data. However, studies such as those by Zeng et al. (2022) and Rizvi et al. (2025) have reported mixed results in long-term foreca…

Simulation of the thermoelectric effect in a multi-metallic superconducting cavity
Superconducting radio frequency accelerating cavities made with different material layers, such as copper, Nb or Nb3Sn, are susceptible to thermoelectric effects due to differences in Seebeck coefficients between the metals. A temperature gradient across the surfaces can drive thermoelectric currents, which may impact the cavity performance. A layered Cu/Nb/Nb3Sn single cell cavity was tested with cryocoolers in 2022. Three heaters were mounted on the cavity surface at different locations and t…
