Chinese electric bus maker taps ex-senators for shot at billions in clean energy funds - Foreign Lobby
The US subsidiary of Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has added two former senators to its rapidly growing lobbying team as it fights over billions of dollars in federal funding to green the nation’s bus fleet. Crossroads Strategies senior partners Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and John Breaux (D-La.)...

I don't care whether they use sodium batteries, Ever Readies or organic batteries or battery chickens. The only point is that three London buses burnt in two weeks. It's like you're in denial about that, trying to make some sort of excuses or alternative reality. Why can't you just accept it?
That's actually not a bad idea. I think I might patent it. What you do is make the bodywork of electric cars a matrix of peltier cells (thermo electric heat pump), then, when the car starts to burn, the peltier cells will generate power. You carry an extension lead in the boot/frunk, and as soon as you see the smoke, you run the extension lead into the nearest house/building, plug it in and pump the power into the grid to solve the shortfall due to the demand from electric car charging.News Flash:

I'm going to get a knighthood for this one. When I go see the king to get it, I'll mention that it was your post that sparked the idea. Maybe you'll get a CBE or MBE or something.
Hopefully this post will get the thread back on course because it's about the price of electricity instead of Fantasy Island.

Because it is a false premise and it is you who is in denial. We both know what the problem is, lithium ion batteries in some bus model applications but not present in others.
And it is not three london buses burnt in two weeks, it is three london buses burnt in the period since the last one burnt before them, or four in the period including that from its previous one. In other words the period is meaningless unless constrained by relevant end points.
The real relevance is already clear and accepted, they are causing many more fires than the previous diesel ones and they were far from saints in this respect. So what? We wait to see how the efforts to solve this turn out, just as we did in the first decade of this millennium when pedelecs, laptops and even aircraft were suffering from numerous li-ion fires.
That worked out well, so why not now show the same patience that I am? That is a rhetorical question since I know why not. You are strongly opposed to compulsory EV car introduction so will use anything to try to discredit it, however irrelevant.
That is already a lost battle. Eventually you and other objectors will be like the dinosaurs who keep heritage steam locomotives running.

So you're an FMR. Unfortunately, there seems to be a short circuit in your FMR system, because I have nothing against EVs, and have never said that I'm against anything. I just like to have a bit of banter with you zealots.
I seem to remember a previous instance of when your FMR system broke down. You need to get it fixed.
true, but it's the law of small probabilities. It's like throwing two successive sixes.
True, and some people have thrown 6 successive sixes. The thing about statistics is that it's a good tool to expose unusual events and trends so that analysis can be done to get a better understanding about what's going on. If these things are ignored, it might be OK or doom might follow. The worst thing you can do is ignore it.
Think about the UK (and many other countries) excess deaths. The whole idea of keeping and publishing data on deaths should be or was to respond to adverse and unexpected trends. The data clearly show that something unusual is happening for the last two and a half years. It could be that people are dying unnecessarily, and nobody wants to talk about it. This is not what I'd expect.
The same could be said for adverse health events after vaccination. Data has always been kept, published and analysed. After Covid vaccines were introduced, adverse events went to unprecedented highs, but nobody wants to talk about it, and if anybody does, they get shut down. It doesn't add up to me.
And those that think big organisations don't cover things up, look at the present Post Office scandal. Do you think that it's the only time something like that has happened? You'll see the same pattern of behaviour in the other things I mentioned.

I read somewhere that the bus companies are told to pull their electric buses from service for a general check up. So they do something. It could well be that the chargers and the batteries don't work well together.
Probably, or that's what they might say. Whatever it is, it'll be covered up unless they can find some Tommy Robinson supporter, who's also a white supremacist, who secretly set light to them. That's always a possibility, or it could just as easily be Boris Johnson unhappy about something.
I think there could well be a connection between this being an exceptionally cold period by London standards and how hard many of London's buses are worked now, since so much 24 hour working was introduced following the corresponding reduction of the N night routes.
Some of them will be almost continuously working or charging 24/7. That is a tough ask for new technology.

I haven't a clue either. The normal convention is to spell it out in full the first time you introduce an acronym to the conversation.
I already knew a couple of definitions for FMR eg Fair Market Rent & Frequency Modulated Radar but I was unable to decide which of the many dozens of other definitions that @saneagle intended

The inquiry comes after, not before, so as not to *prejudice the outcome*. Smells to high heaven. :-(
Hang on, this isn't on topic!

US Embassy in London speaks out on American professor’s controversial tea recipe
‘Today’s media reports of an American professor’s recipe for the perfect cup of tea has landed our special bond with the United Kingdom in hot water,’ embassy says

Today's media reports of an American Professor's recipe for the "perfect" cup of tea has landed our special bond with the United Kingdom in hot water.
Tea is the elixir of camaraderie, a sacred bond that unites our nations. We cannot stand idly by as such an outrageous proposal threatens the very foundation of our Special Relationship.
Therefore we want to ensure the good people of the UK that the unthinkable notion of adding salt to Britain's national drink is not official United States policy. And never will be.
Let us unite in our steeped solidarity and show the world that when it comes to tea, we stand as one.
The U.S. Embassy will continue to make tea in the proper way – by microwaving it.
