NexWafe has established a U.S. subsidiary to evaluate the development of solar wafer production, with an initial target volume of 6 GW, in the country.

The project will leverage the company’s EpiNex production technology. As part of the expansion, NexWafe appointed solar industry veteran Jonathan Pickering as vice president of business development for North America to spearhead regional operations. Pickering was previously president of JA Solar Americas, and a former vice president at Applied Materials.

Along with other solar supply chain manufacturers, NexWafe will work with the Administration to leverage IRA incentives to realize the company’s vision of gigawatt-scale wafer manufacturing in North America. As a front runner in bringing solar wafer production to the U.S., NexWafe further demonstrates its commitment to the energy transition.

“Silicon wafers are critical materials for the energy transition, and Jonathan’s leadership will be key as we embark on establishing gigawatt-scale wafer manufacturing in the U.S.,” said Davor Sutija, CEO of NexWafe. “His extensive experience and proven expertise in solar technology complement the strength of our established leadership team.”

Many Say Fauci Should Go To Prison

Published

Oh my goodness! Is “Liz Churchill” right?

We hear all the time that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served Americans’ health needs under seven presidents, created COVID-19 in a Chinese lab and deliberately inflicted it on U.S. citizens, killing millions.   The anti-science right is cranking up the animus against the man, and now, tens of millions of Americans are desperate to have him sentenced to prison.

A few facts are presented below. What they seem to show is that whoever authored the meme here simply made up lies that would serve to undermine our scientific method and make all this crap fodder for the Fox News / MAGA crowd.

Unvaccinated individuals face a significantly higher risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 compared to vaccinated individuals. Historical and public health data consistently show that vaccines offer robust protection against the most severe outcomes of the virus. [1, 2, 3]

Key Data on Hospitalizations
  • Higher Risk: Unvaccinated people have consistently shown hospitalization rates between 1.6 to over 10 times higher than vaccinated individuals depending on the viral variant and booster status. [1, 2]
  • Early Variant Spikes: During earlier waves like the Delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that unvaccinated individuals were up to 29 times more likely to be hospitalized. [1]
  • Severe Complications: Hospitalized unvaccinated patients are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe disease, spend more days in the ICU, and have a higher likelihood of complications. [1]
  • Financial Burden: A study by the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker noted that unvaccinated patients historically accounted for the vast majority of preventable COVID-19 health system costs due to lengthy, intensive hospital stays. [1]
Key Data on Mortality
  • Elevated Death Rates: Data compiled by platforms like Our World in Data demonstrate a clear gap in mortality, with unvaccinated individuals dying at significantly higher rates per capita. [1]

MAGA Republican Runs in Wyoming

Published

Meet Reid Rasner (photo at left).  He’s a MAGA Republican running for congress in Wyoming–that’s a good fit.

He faces three challenges, however:

1) He’s openly gay, a terrible fit for Wyoming,

2) His politics appeals only to the true idiot.  While it’s true that voters there are not well-educated, they’re aware and alert.  They’ve seen trickle-down economics fail consistently since the days of Roland Reagan, and they’ll be very hard to convince that democratic socialism as it’s implemented around the world makes the nation’s citizens poor, and

3) I hate to judge a book by its cover, but he looks like a dullard.
