Two researchers at the University of Notre Dame in collaboration with South Korea’s Kyung Hee University recently utilized quantum computing to help develop a new transparent window coating capable of blocking solar heat. In findings published in ACS Energy Levels, Tengfei Luo, Notre Dame’s Dorini Family Professor of Energy Studies, and postdoctoral associate, Seongmin Kim, worked together to devise their transparent radiative cooler (TRC) layer, which only permits external visible light that doesn’t raise indoor temperatures, thus cutting buildings’ cooling costs by as much as a third of current rates. According to the International Energy Agency, air conditioning and electric fans comprise 20 percent of buildings’ energy costs around the world—roughly 10 percent of human electricity consumption.

I have just been alerted to something. If the U=Haul Trailor/truck business is so wonderful for a growing Texas, wont this increase our ELECTRICITY demand, also?? THE reason, I mention this is due to the fact that all the woke news programs love to mention a little GIG, if You will, saying "WE don't know if the TEXAS electric GRID will be able to hold up in the hottest summer time in Texas! They talk about the folks who run our STATE Grid with determination, & dedication, WE have This, don't freaking worry, after all You weren't that concerned before YOU made the move, HUH? The only time, That I , a Born, & breed Texan every worried about being without electricity is the time back, I believe, in feb 2021, when Houston got down to 10 degrees, because the STATE had screwed up & hired 9 key people Who were from OUT of State, that had the responsibility of running the power grid., but as it turned out the next moring we woke up freezing our tails off, & then WE found out that the 9 out of staters had resigned their positions with the GRID, leaving the WHOLE STATE hapless!, THEY THEN PROCEEDED to leave TEXAS WITH THEIR WOES! I say don't YOU scum bags ever come back to TEXAS!

This may nave something to do with a climate problem, I was just informed on Newsmax, with video, a Russian Submarine slowly cruising along in a Havana Cuba, harbor. I was working on a midshift, in 1963, when my room mate awakened me to tell me that President Kennedy was assinated, in Dallas. In 2023 , I was in a Uber ride to a VA apt. The driver, I found out was from CUBA, living in HOUSTON, No family., while holding a TEXAS drivers licenses, voter. Ask me if I spoke Spanish, to which I said NO! I must ask myself, How this can be happening. THE DEMONKRATZ MUST HATE THE USA SO BAD! So our border is so wide open its ridicules, we have no formal recognition with Russia that I know of, & the Obiden outhouse keeps pissing these people off. like HE is trying to start a WW3, or someone is.Is it NOBAMA?? LIKE MORE MONEY OF OURS GOING TO THE UKRANI, war. How do we even get an accounting of all the dollars that we giving away, & You do these kind of things to people that YOU DONT LIKE!
