China Builds Full-Scale Model Of US Destroyer In Remote Desert
Security analysts poring over satellite photos of China have shared a surreal image: There's a detailed, full-scale replica of a US Navy destroyer in the middle of a remote stretch of Chinese desert. It's a vivid indication of the seriousness with which the Chinese government takes preparations for a potential war with the United States, perhaps over Taiwan.
This highly-detailed, full-scale mockup of a US destroyer was recently assembled in the middle of a desert in northwest China (via Defense Security Asia)
Thousands of miles from the nearest ocean, the mockup sits amid the sands of a missile-testing range near Ruoqiang in Xinjiang Province. It's an exceedingly precise replica of a 510-foot-long US Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. That type of vessel is a core workhorse of the US Navy, and is involved in air defense, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare and attacks on land-targets. A main player in Trump's Israel-all...

The Real Grid Crisis Is A State Policy Problem Dressed Up As A Market Failure
Authored by Todd Snitchler via RealClearEnergy,
There's a critique of PJM making the rounds: PJM - the largest grid operator in the United States - is too big. There are too many state interests at play, and PJM doesn't have the ability to function cohesively or quickly enough. FERC even scheduled a governance technical conference this month to examine whether PJM's stakeholder structure can move fast enough to respond to demand. The reality is that policy disagreements at the state level are dressed up as a procedural defect with the grid, opening the way for critics to point their reforms at the wrong target.
Disagreements at the state level are just what you'd expect, pitting those that generate enough power to export against those that depend on imports. Pennsylvania is PJM's energy workhorse, shipping out roughly a quarter of everything it generates. Illinois, West Virginia, and Michigan also produce more t...

Boeing Rises as CEO Touts 737 Output, New Jet Approvals Nearing (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Boeing Co.'s Chief Executive Officer gave investors an optimistic forecast for this year and beyond, as the US planemaker raises production on its workhorse 737 Max jet, nears certification on long-delayed models and expects a windfall from defense spending. The planemaker has successfully completed a so-called capstone review with the Federal Aviation Administration to further increase production of the 737 Max to 47-jet monthly output, a key step to improve profitability and generate cash, Kelly Ortberg said at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference on Wednesday.
The company is in the final flight testing stages for the 737 Max 7 and 10 variants, and the intercontinental 777X model, Ortberg said. Still, the certification of seats and the supplies of engines from GE Aerospace for the 787 Dreamliner are bottlenecks that are delaying deliveries.
We get reaction from Sid Philip, Chief Aviation Correspondent for Bloomberg News. (Source: Bloomberg)...
