COVID Update

COVID-19 positivity rate, hospitalizations push new lows Capacity restrictions scheduled to be lifted statewide

By Jerry Nowicki

Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – The state’s COVID-19 metrics continued to improve Monday ahead of Friday’s planned statewide reopening.

Gov. JB Pritzker’s office confirmed last week that Phase 5 will begin Friday, essentially lifting all of the COVID-19 capacity restrictions that have been in place for over one year. That means businesses, largescale events, conventions, amusement parks and seated-spectator venues can all return to full capacity beginning Friday.

That announcement came as the state’s COVID-19 case positivity rate – a disease spread indicator that has been widely used to determine what level of restrictions would be in place throughout the pandemic – continued to plummet, hitting a new low of 1.1 percent Monday.

That’s far from the recent 4.4 percent peak from April 12 and well below its 13.2 percent height since June 2020, when testing became more widespread.

“After a tremendously challenging year, Illinois has now reached a defining moment in our efforts to defeat COVID-19,” Pritzker said in a news release Friday. “Thanks to the hard work of residents across the state, Illinois will soon resume life as we knew it before – returning to events, gatherings, and a fully reopened economy, with some of the safety guidelines we’ve adopted still in place.”

While businesses will still be allowed to

have stricter masking and social distancing policies than the state, the new guidance follows the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation that face coverings are not needed indoors for vaccinated individuals.

Masks are still “recommended” for unvaccinated individuals, according to the governor’s office.

Masks will still be required for people traveling on public transportation, in congregate settings, in health care settings, as well as in schools, day cares and educational institutions, according to the governor’s office.

“This pandemic has robbed us of many of our freedoms such as going to ball games and concerts, celebrating graduations, weddings, and birthdays, going to dinner with friends, and even sharing a hug with loved ones we don’t live with,” Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said in a news release. “The vaccine is giving us our freedoms back and allowing us to move to Phase 5. Let’s keep the vaccination momentum going so we can put this pandemic in the rearview mirror and not look back.”

According to IDPH, more than 11.6 million vaccine doses have been administered in the state, with 50.3 percent of the state’s aged-12-and-older population having been fully vaccinated. About 60 percent of those 12 and older have received at least one dose, while that number increases to 62.5 percent for those 18 and older and 82 percent for those 65 and over.

On a seven-day average, however, about 38,975 vaccines were administered as of Monday, meaning the pace of those being vaccinated has slowed substantially. That

number was over 130,000 in mid-April and over 86,000 in early May. But as the vaccination pace has slowed, so have the number of new COVID-19 cases recorded each day and the number of people hospitalized for the disease. For 12 straight days, there have been fewer than 1,000 new cases reported each day.

The death toll of the virus had reached 22,963 in Illinois as of Monday, with 14 deaths reported over the previous 24 hours. Thus far in June, the number of daily COVID-19-related deaths have hovered between six and 42 each day. At the pandemic’s height in December, 238 died in one day.

Hospitalizations continue to push past their lowest points in the pandemic as well, with 788 hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients as of Sunday night, a decrease of more than 300 from a week ago. That number peaked at more than 6,000 in November.

On a weekly average, the period from Monday to Sunday was the lowest it has been throughout the pandemic with 915 beds in use on average daily over the seven-day period.

There were 217 intensive care unit beds and 116 ventilators in use as of Sunday night, with both numbers hovering near their pandemic lows as well. Those number peaked above 1,200 and 800, respectively, during the height of the pandemic.

FBI STING

Global sting: Secure FBI-run messaging network tricks crooks

BY MIKE CORDER AND NICK PERRY ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) – Criminal gangs divulged plans for moving drug shipments and carrying out killings on a secure messaging system secretly run by the FBI, law enforcement agencies said Tuesday, as they unveiled a global sting operation they said dealt an “unprecedented blow” to organized crime in countries around the world.

The operation known as Trojan Shield led to police raids in 16 nations. More than 800 suspects were arrested and more than 32 tons of drugs – including cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines and methamphetamines – were seized along with 250 firearms, 55 luxury cars and more than $148 million in cash and cryptocurrencies.

The seeds of the sting were sown in 2018 when law enforcement agencies took down a company called Phantom Secure that provided customized end-to-end encrypted devices to criminals, according to court papers. Unlike typical cell phones, the devices don’t make phone calls or browse the internet – but allow for secure messaging. As an outgrowth of the operation, the FBI also recruited a collaborator who was developing a next-generation secure-messaging platform for the criminal underworld called ANOM. The collaborator engineered the system to give the agency access to any messages being sent.

ANOM didn’t take off immediately.

But once other secure platforms used by criminal gangs to organize drug tra�cking underworld hits and money launder-

ing were taken down by police, chiefly EncroChat and Sky ECC, gangs were in the market for a new one and the FBI’s platform was ready. Over the past 18 months, the agency provided phones via unsuspecting middlemen to more than 300 gangs operating in more than 100 countries.

Intelligence gathered and analyzed “enabled us to prevent murders. It led to the seizure of drugs that led to the seizure of weapons. And it helped prevent a number of crimes,” Calvin Shivers, assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, told a news conference in The Hague, Netherlands.

The operation – led by the FBI with the involvement of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the European Union police agency Europol and law enforcement agencies in several countries – dealt “an unprecedented blow to criminal networks, and this is worldwide,” said Dutch National Police Chief Constable Jannine van den Berg.

Australian Federal Police Commander Jennifer Hearst called it “a watershed moment in global law enforcement history.”

The ANOM app became popular in criminal circles as users told one another it was a safe platform. All the time, police were looking over the shoulders of criminals as they discussed hits, drug shipments and other crimes.

“There was a void that was created by a lack of these encrypted platforms,” Shivers said, of the initial move to take down apps previously used by gangs. “So that created

an opportunity for collaboration with our international partners, to not only develop the specific tool but also to develop the process of gathering the intelligence and disseminating the intelligence.”

The FBI collaborator e�ectively created a “blind copy” channel so that every single message sent by ANOM users ended up on a server run by the agency, court documents say.

Since October 2019, the FBI has has cataloged more than 20 million messages from a total of 11,800 devices – with about 9,000 currently active, according to the documents, which cited Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia and Serbia as the most active countries.

They say the number of active ANOM users was only 3,000 until Sky, one of the platforms previously used by criminal gangs, was dismantled in March.

While primarily used in drug tra�cking and money-laundering, an FBI agent quoted in the documents says “high-level public corruption cases (also were ) initiated as a result.” The agent said a goal of Trojan Shield was to “shake the confidence in this entire industry because the FBI is willing and able to enter this space and monitor messages.”

Law enforcement agencies from Sweden to New Zealand described the operation as having a significant impact.

Swedish police prevented a dozen planned killings and believe that they have arrested several “leading actors in criminal networks,” according to a statement from Linda Staaf, the head of Sweden’s national

Finnish police said Tuesday that nearly 100 people have been detained and more than 500 kilograms (half a ton) of drugs confiscated, along with dozens of guns and cash worth hundreds of thousands of euros (dollars). In Germany, the general prosecutor’s o�ce in Frankfurt said that more than 70 people were arrested Monday and drugs, cash and weapons were also seized.

In Australia, authorities said they arrested 224 people and seized more than four tons of drugs and $35 million. New Zealand police said they had arrested 35 people and seized drugs and assets worth millions of dollars.

“The success of Operation Trojan Shield is a result of tremendous innovation, dedication and unprecedented international collaboration,” Shivers said. “And the results are staggering.”

Biden to get warm welcome from relieved but wary allies

BY JILL LAWLESS ASSOCIATED PRESS

Get the latest weather updates at RockRiverTimes.com/AccuWeather

LONDON (AP) — When U.S. President Joe Biden flies to Europe this week, he will find his hosts welcoming but wary. His predecessor Donald Trump may be gone, but he leaves a long shadow.

Biden’s first foreign trip as president starts Wednesday and includes a gathering of the Group of Seven wealthy nations by the seaside in southwest England, a NATO summit, a meeting with European Union chiefs, and then a tete-a-tete in Geneva with his Russian counterpart and adversary, Vladimir Putin.

For most of America’s allies, Biden is a relief. Trump often sowed chaos, accusing the NATO military alliance of leeching o� the United States, insulting the European Union and storming out of a G-7 summit in Canada in 2018. In contrast, Biden has stressed his support for international diplomacy and emphasized “America’s renewed commitment to our allies and partners” in a recent Washington Post article.

“I think we can expect to see lots of rhetoric and lots of good-vibe messages in this first visit of Biden to Europe,” said Renata Dwan, deputy director of international a�airs think tank Chatham House.

But she added that five months into Biden’s term, “it’s time to be more than ‘not Donald Trump.’”

Biden has already mended some fences with America’s allies. The U.S. has rejoined the Paris climate accord that Trump renounced, ended a minor trade war with the EU over aviation rivalry and is backing attempts to revive a deal meant to limit Iran’s nuclear ambitions that Trump abandoned.

“America is back. And we are happy you are back,” European Council President Charles Michel told Biden in March, when the president joined a video summit of EU leaders.

Yet it’s not all smooth sailing, especially for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is hosting the first G-7 summit in two years this weekend at the Carbis Bay resort in Cornwall.

Johnson wants to use the U.K.’s G-7 presidency to inject new purpose into the wealthy nations’ club — undermined by Trump’s unilateralism and sideswiped by the coronavirus pandemic — and to burnish the international image of a post-Brexit “Global Britain.”

He’s happy with Biden’s commitment to fighting climate change that should help give momentum to November’s COP26 global climate summit in Scotland. And

Biden’s promise to start sharing coronavirus vaccines with poorer countries — something aid agencies say should have happened sooner — chimes with Johnson’s call for G-7 leaders to ensure the whole world is vaccinated by the end of 2022.

Closer to home, the British leader hopes Biden will agree to a trans-Atlantic travel corridor to help business and tourism recover from the pandemic. And he is seeking a U.K.-U.S. trade deal, touted by the British government as a plum post-Brexit economic prize.

But he has hurdles to overcome. A trade deal is not a Biden priority, and Johnson will have to work hard to charm a president who once called the prime minister a “physical and emotional clone” of Trump.

Biden has criticized Brexit, and is particularly concerned about its impact on Northern Ireland. Because of its land border with EU member Ireland, Northern Ireland has been given a special economic status that is causing friction between the U.K. and the bloc and heightening political tensions within Northern Ireland.

Biden, keenly aware of the key role the U.S. played in bringing about the Good Friday peace accord that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland, has warned there will be no trade deal with Britain if Brexit undermines the peace deal.

There are tensions and divergences among U.S. and its other the allies, too.

Biden has begun to rebuild ties with NATO, left angry and bewildered by Trump’s unilateralism and his ambiguous relationship with Russia’s Putin. Biden reassured the alliance that the U.S. backed NATO’s doctrine of collective defense and would come to the rescue in the face of Russian aggression.

Britain and EU politicians generally support Biden’s call for a “stable and predictable” relationship with Russia, but have low expectations of a breakthrough from his meeting with Putin.

But the U.S. still wants NATO’s European members and Canada to spend more on defense — a constant Trump refrain, now taken up by Biden, if in a more muted way.

And while Washington informed its allies about its decision to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, the news came “late in the day,” said Dwan, the analyst from Chatham House.

There is also continuing U.S-European friction over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline being built to bring gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea. A persistent irritant between the U.S. and Germany during the Trump years, the pipeline still faces bipartisan U.S. opposition over

concerns it makes Europe more dependent on Russia, though Biden has sought to take some of the heat out of the issue.

And European nations are more cautious than the U.S. about confronting and curbing an increasingly assertive, economically surging China.

Dwan said European nations are eager “not to be caught in the middle of a of a bipolar tension. Europe knows how that looks and feels.”

Even Britain, which has excluded Chinese firms from its 5G network and opened its doors to thousands of people from Hong Kong as Beijing squeezes the territory’s freedoms, is cautious about the tough U.S. approach. Johnson has stressed that he is not a “knee-jerk Sinophobe” and wants to engage with China.

Thomas Gift, director of the Center on U.S. Politics at University College London, says that for all Biden’s warm words for allies, his priorities remain at home: vaccinating the U.S. out of the pandemic, reviving the COVID-battered economy and renewing the United States’ aging infrastructure.

“He’s largely governing as a domestic president,” Gift said.

And he said the discord of the Trump years have made America’s allies look di�erently at the United States.

“I think public opinion in Europe has soured to an extent on the United States,” Gift said, including concern about whether it’s a reliable partner. “But I think European leaders, by and large, are eager to work with the U.S. They still understand that it is the most important global superpower — even if some of that power is getting eaten up by a rising China.”

Capitol Breach

Senate report details broad failures around Jan. 6 attack

By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol found a broad intelligence breakdown across multiple agencies, along with widespread law enforcement and military failures that led to the violent attack.

There were clear warnings and tips that supporters of former President Donald Trump, including right-wing extremist groups, were planning to “storm the Capitol” with weapons and possibly infiltrate the tunnel system underneath the building. But that intelligence never made it up to top leadership.

The result was chaos. The report details how officers on the front lines suffered chemical burns, brain injuries and broken bones, among other injuries, after fighting the rioters, who quickly overwhelmed them and broke into the building. Officers told the Senate investigators that they were left with no leadership or direction when command systems broke down.

The Senate report released Tuesday is the first — and could be the last — bipartisan review of how hundreds Trump supporters were able to violently push past security lines and break into the Capitol that day, interrupting the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. It recommends immediate changes to give the Capitol Police chief more authority, to provide better planning and equipment for law enforcement and to streamline intelligence gathering among federal agencies.

As a bipartisan effort, the report does not delve into the root causes of the attack, including Trump’s role as he called for his supporters to “fight like hell” to overturn his election defeat that day. It does not call the attack an insurrection, even though it was. And it comes two weeks after Republicans blocked a bipartisan, independent commission that would investigate the insurrection more broadly.

“This report is important in the fact that it allows us to make some immediate improvements to the security situation here in the Capitol,” said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which conducted the probe along with the Senate Rules Committee.

“But it does not answer some of the bigger questions that we need to face, quite frankly, as a country and as a democracy.”

The House in May passed legislation to create a commission that would be modeled after a panel that investigated the Sept. 11 terrorist attack two decades ago. But the Senate failed to get the 60 votes needed to advance, with many Republicans pointing

to the Senate report as sufficient.

The top Republican on the Rules panel, Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, has opposed the commission, arguing that investigation would take too long. He said the recommendations made in the Senate can be implemented faster, including legislation that he and Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the rules committee chair, intend to introduce soon that would give the chief of Capitol Police more authority to request assistance from the National Guard.

The Senate report recounts how the Guard was delayed for hours on Jan. 6 as officials in multiple agencies took bureaucratic steps to release the troops.

It details hours of calls between officials in the Capitol and the Pentagon and as the then-chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, desperately begged for help.

It finds that the Pentagon spent hours “mission planning” and seeking multiple layers of approvals as Capitol Police were being overwhelmed and brutally beaten by the rioters. It also states that the Defense Department’s response was “informed by criticism” of its heavy-handed response to protests in the summer of 2020 after the death of George Floyd in police custody.

The senators are heavily critical of the Capitol Police Board, a three-member panel that includes the heads of security for the House and Senate and the Architect of the Capitol. The board is now required to approve requests by the police chief, even in urgent situations. The report recommends that its members “regularly review the policies and procedures” after senators found that none of the board members on Jan. 6 understood their own authority or could detail the statutory requirements for requesting National Guard assistance.

Two of the three members of the board, the House and Senate sergeants at arms, were pushed out in the days after the attack.

Sund also resigned under pressure.

Congress needs to change the law and give the police chief more authority “immediately,” Klobuchar said.

The report recommends a consolidated intelligence unit within the Capitol Police after widespread failures from multiple agencies that did not predict the attack even though insurrectionists were planning it openly on the internet. The police’s intelligence unit “knew about social media posts calling for violence at the Capitol on January 6, including a plot to breach the Capitol, the online sharing of maps of the Capitol Complex’s tunnel systems, and other specific threats of violence,” the report says, but agents did not properly inform leadership of everything they had found.

On Dec. 28, for example, the report notes that an individual emailed a public Capitol Police account and warned about “countless tweets from Trump supporters saying they will be armed on January 6th” and “tweets from people organizing to ‘storm the Capitol.’” There were also internal warnings of an uptick in posts on various sites that included maps of the Capitol, including its underground tunnels. But those specifics were never disseminated widely.

The senators also criticize the FBI and the Homeland Security Department for downplaying online threats and for not issuing formal intelligence bulletins that help law enforcement plan.

In a response to the report, the Capitol Police acknowledged the need for improvements, some of which they said they are already making. “Law enforcement agencies across the country rely on intelligence, and the quality of that intelligence can mean the difference between life and death,” the statement said.

During the attack, the report says, Capitol Police were heavily compromised by multiple failures — bad intelligence, poor planning, faulty equipment and a lack of leadership. The force’s incident command system “broke down during the attack,” leaving officers on the front lines without orders. There were no functional incident commanders, and some senior officers were fighting instead of giving orders.

“USCP leadership never took control of the radio system to communicate orders to front-line officers,” the investigation found.

“I was horrified that NO deputy chief or above was on the radio or helping us,” one officer told the committee in an anonymous statement. “For hours the screams on the radio were horrific(,) the sights were unimaginable and there was a complete loss of control. ... For hours NO Chief or above took command and control. Officers were begging and pleading for help for medical triage.”

Acting Chief of Police Yogananda Pittman, who replaced Sund after his resignation, told the committees that the lack of communication resulted from “incident commanders being overwhelmed and engaging with rioters, rather than issuing orders over the radio.”

The committee’s interviews with police officers detail what one officer told them was “absolutely brutal” abuse from Trump’s supporters as they ran over them and broke into the building. They described hearing racial slurs and seeing Nazi salutes.

One officer trying to evacuate the Senate said he had stopped several men in full tactical gear who said “You better get out of our way, boy, or we’ll go through you to get (the Senators).’”

The insurrectionists told police officers they would kill them, and then the members of Congress. One officer said he had a “tangible fear” that he might not make it home alive.

At the same time, the senators acknowledge the officers’ bravery, noting that one officer told them, “The officers inside all behaved admirably and heroically and, even outnumbered, went on the offensive and took the Capitol back.”

Outside is fun again.

Every year, the President of the United States issues a proclamation urging citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week.

Anyone dropping off a flag for retirement, can receive a free 8” x 12” USA stick flag, while supplies last. “The American flag is a patriotic and important symbol of the United States and should be treated with the utmost respect,” stated County Clerk Lori Gummow. “If an American flag can no

longer appropriately serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner,” she added. Anyone with a tattered or damaged flag can drop them off at either location, for proper retirement.

Scott Lewandowski, Museum Director, collaborates with the local Boy Scouts of America to dispose of all collected flags.

“Incinerating the American flag after a proper retirement ceremony is the preferred method to dispose of a flag,” he said. Following the observance of Memorial Day, some families may have realized their flag is no longer presentable for display, and we wanted to coordinate with the Clerk’s Office to offer two convenient locations people can visit downtown and drop off their old flags, he added. Memorial Hall is a living memorial to Veterans from all wars. It will serve as a constant reminder to the sacrifices given by brave men and women from Winnebago County, and a way for generations to remember and

learn about their lives. Memorial Hall is a living memorial to Veterans from all wars.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1946, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Opa! It’s Food Truck Season!

Rockford Area CVB

Nothing says summertime like seeing food trucks roll up to your favorite community spots. There’s just something about eating outside that says, “The nice weather is here to stay!” Whether you’re looking for a way to break up your lunch routine or wanting something that the whole family can enjoy - food trucks are your answer.

Aside from offering tasty, affordable meals, food trucks also provide a strong sense of community.

That’s exactly what local Greek food truck The Olive Branch is doing. “We are passionate about giving back to the community in many different ways. From offering 10% fundraising cash back to providing food at local school events,”

says Michele Christidis, wife of The Olive Branch owner, Bob Christidis, “We are proud to be creating food truck culture here in Rockford, and we do our best to provide not only great food and service, but [also] get families out of the house and get them connecting over our food!”

Speaking of which, local food truck culture has greatly developed within the last few years with the addition of new trucks and a wider variety of food options. The accessibility to customers and embraced community collaboration is what makes food truck culture so strong.

“Compared to a brick and mortar, we are able to go to the people until [they] know how to find us,” Christidis says, “Another thing we love about our particular business

model is working with other entrepreneurs!

We have solid relationships with many local brewing companies and wineries. They have the alcohol and we have the food works out good for all parties!”

One of the main inspirations for The Olive Branch was having control of their calendar. Along with a family history in the local food scene and wanting to provide Rockford with authentic Greek food, The Olive Branch wanted a business that would fit with their lifestyle. Christidis recalled, “We knew being married to a restaurant was not what we wanted. We wanted to design the hours and make the business work around our family. Plus, we love the idea of being mobile. We are on the move all the time and building so many

relationships with other entrepreneurs along the way!”

The Olive Branch truly encapsulates what food truck culture is all about - community.

They put their heart and soul into the quality and authenticity of their food which translates into their involvement around the Rockford region.

Wrapping up weed management in the vegetable garden

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

In continuing our discussion of weed management in vegetable gardens, mulching can be a great strategy for proper weed control. While organic mulches like strawwood chips-newspapers will break down into the soil, landscape fabric between rows may o�er some relief. You might be able to place a landscape fabric over your entire growing area and plant with in. The problem though is that landscape fabric will stay in place for many years and we do recommend crop rotating between your vegetables each year. So the landscape fabric may not work. There are plastic landscape mulches that usually last a single

season though these need to be removed at the end of your growing season and thrown away.

Mowing could be an option for weed management and control. This could be combined with mulching to keep weeds from germinating and growing. If you mostly have perennial weeds, this may not work too well as you would be only removing the annual growth. You would further want to time this to ensure you are not letting seeds become scattered into the soil.

Some herbicides are available for use in vegetable gardens. These herbicides include organic and nonorganic, pre and post emergent (the weed has germinated

or hasn’t), broadleaf or grass, and systemic or non-systemic. It’s important to read the label to determine if an herbicide can be used for vegetables that are already growing. If you are using an herbicide to get your area into shape, you may find that you cannot plant the vegetables for a period of days-weeks. Some of the organic herbicides may require continually application to control. You inevitably will find better herbicide options after your vegetable garden season has ended.

Post-season you can manage weeds with a process called soil solarization. In this method, you are placing two layers of a clear plastic over a growing area to allow for sunlight to reach weeds that will

germinate and die. The plastic is in place for 4-6 weeks. The disadvantage with this method is that it needs to occur in Northern Illinois towards the end of August which your crops may still be growing.

As with any weed management method you use (mulching, reduced tilling, hand-removal, herbicides, others), the success will be based on matching the method with your weed species. Knowing how the weed grows will ensure that your weed management practices match up.

You may further find that a combination or repeated actions are needed to control your weeds.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Transition to cleaner energy

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

As Illinois continues its transition to cleaner energy resources it can be helpful and inspirational to see what other states and countries are doing to expand their energy from renewable sources. While ”renewables” has been a long-standing term to describe cleaner energy sources some energy experts believe it would be more accurate to describe them as replaceable. They point out that even renewable energy sources will have to be periodically replaced, requiring energy and metals to build.

Early during renewable energy industry development countries such as Japan and Germany were pointed to as having progressive energy policies supporting renewable energy. However, when the Fukishima nuclear power plant was destroyed and Japan’s nuclear plants were shut down the country increased its use of fossil fuels along with solar power to o�set the loss. The accident and the resulting actions increased their carbon footprint.

Germany was seen as a setting a global model for a transition to renewable energy sources. With its limited solar resource and extensive industrialization their transition to renewable energy caused considerable enthusiasm from renewable advocates. But

there, too, the image has been somewhat tarnished as the country has increased its use of coal to o�set their nuclear power plant shutdowns. The country also turned to wood pellets for heating and imports pellets from Europe, other countries and southeast United States forests. Awaiting the arrival of natural gas from Russia from the soon to be completed pipeline has led to images of initiating an economy based on hydrogen. If successful, it will enhance the country’s image of a progressive force for renewable energy.

One country that has been overlooked somewhat is Australia, especially Southern Australia. Australians have more solar home rooftop installations per person than any country in the world. Keen advantages, including a wonderful solar resource in south Australia and supportive government policies along with a very high cost of electricity have led people to install solar roofs on their homes.

The government of South Australia has decided to install batteries in 20 public housing homes without solar systems as reported by Giles Parkinson. If successful, the program will be expanded to other homes unable to host solar systems. When home battery systems reach 20,000 their capacity will exceed the country’s biggest battery storage system, the Hornsdale

Power Reserve, installed by Tesla. Batteries will help stabilize the grid.

Other events are of interest to US renewable energy advocates. Sophie Vorrath cites Australian Professor Martin Green as predicting solar panel prices will fall by 50% to 10¢/watt by 2023 encouraging consumers to be more aggressive in their pursuit of solar energy. The size of solar systems will increase and with battery costs falling at a rate similar to solar panels he expects to see an increase in battery storage. More home owners might also install panels on east and west facing roofs to extend the time solar energy will be produced as demonstrated by Bruce Roe in northern Illinois.

The arrival of low-cost solar panels has intensified concern over the disposal of old panels. Some people seeking more e�cient panels have replaced functioning ones, adding to concerns over their disposal.

While solar panels do eliminate carbon releases while they are operating, they still rely on fossil fuel energy and other resources for their production raising environmental concerns.

Developing a resale market for less e�cient panels along with recycling old ones should reduce the number sent to landfills.
