Sonnet 126 - CXXVI
O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power
Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour;
Who hast by waning grown, and therein showest
Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self growest.
If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack,
As thou goest onwards still will pluck thee back,
She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill
May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill.
Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure!

Power failure causes rail disruption in northern England as passengers face rush hour
An outage in Manchester triggered the delays and cancellations, with National Rail warning services could be affected until the end of the day.

Documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney has spent his career investigating powerful institutions and controversial figures,
from Enron and Elizabeth Holmes to Scientology and abuses at Bagram and Abu Ghraib.
But he says none compares with the power wielded by his latest subject: Elon Musk.
Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary, "Musk," premieres at the Venice Film Festival this week ahead of an October theatrical release from Bleecker Street.

And the entire budget (€17 million) was snapped up within an hour. That’s 2,000 old petrol cars off the road, and 2,000 additional batteries on wheels ready to harness Irish wind power.

Oh for feck sake. Again no power in Rotterdam. Second time this summer we've been without power for over 4 hours. That means the UPS is depleted, so no more email and some websites down. And we're still waiting for compensation for the previous 11 hour interruption of electricity.
Sad. This means I have to travel to Rotterdam to reboot the machines in the basement.

Some really interesting electric power math here for #BCFerries upcoming large transitional hybrid-to-full electric ferries. They will be known as the “Summit” class. 2100 passengers and crew, almost 400 cars. These are big ships.
Equivalent to the biggest Spirit Class between Victoria and Tsawwassen. So would be replacing the last of the 1970s Queens and possibly one of the Spirit or Coastal ships? We’ll see.
Anyway: They will initially have 10Megawatt Hours (MWh) of battery capacity as hybrid diesel/electric which is interesting, not natural gas like some of the other recent hybrids. (Which always felt like a stupid political decision to show off LNG, not a sound engineering decision)
They will then, once docks are upgraded for electric charging, be refit with 60MWh of batteries (total 70MWh) to “enable 2 hours of emissions free sailing”. In distance terms, that’s the one-way sailing time between Duke Point Terminal in Nanaimo and Tsawwassen in Vancouver, about 40 nautical miles (74km).
For comparison, my Kona EV car has a 65kilowatt hour battery… 1000x less capacity!.. giving a range of 450km.
That’s a very heavy ship!!🛳️
It’s a pretty tight capacity window considering the major routes are all between 1.5hrs and 2hrs. But they could be being conservative in the press release, indicating they would comfortably fit those timelines, or they will be still using hybrid power and shore docking ports to augment and ensure they have adequate power. They will always need lots of reserve and backup for safety.
I also imagine in the 30-60 year lifetime of the ships, we could see the energy density of batteries in general increase, so a refit in 2040 or 2050 could replace 70MWh with 100 or 140MWh in the same physical space.
What seems sure though is that B.C. Ferries is going to have some, if not the, largest fully electric capable ferries in the world. That’s a good thing.
First ship of 4 will arrive from China in 2029. Last of the class arrives in 2031. So hopefully we get our first ride in 2030! Looking forward to it!
