I know you are planning to report more about this, and I look forward to it, but I am also very interested in what happens/doesn't happen with the EU after the most recent meeting at the White House between Trump and Junckers.  I am very aware that the only real result at the moment is that they agreed to work on the issues, nothing immediate or concrete, but I'd really like to know if results are achieved. 

The regulator also argued that Eskom’s free cash flow is expected to be positive, even with the lower increase, and that the utility can further improve its cash flow position through capital expenditure (capex) rationalisation, along with better working capital management.

Albina not only has new-technology machines, but also one of the oldest custom-made bending machines. To commemorate its 80th anniversary, the company has created a museum on-site, called “The Smith-sonian,” honoring the family name and housing one of the first pieces of equipment that Albina owned and used to bend materials. Smith’s grandfather built the Model-T bending machine in the early 1940s using the transmission and differential from a Model-T Ford. This machine was used until the 1990s to bend various materials such as pipe, tube, and square and rectangular hollow structural steel.

Jay, you by definition have to be more pro-Trump than me, because I really don't have any use for the man.  I like thinking people, and he does not qualify.

It’s fair to note that while front-wheel drive has been the standard for front-engine cars for decades, rear-wheel drive in economy cars was never unusual on cars that didn’t have a heavy internal combustion engine up front. Europe in particularly used to be churning out RWD economy cars from the 1930s through the early-to-mid 1970s, before everyone went universally front-engine on applications like this one.

For example, for a pilot unit for propane dehydrogenation where propane conversion is about 40 to 45% and hydrogen and CO2 are produced as byproducts, designing the system to recycle for propane could be extremely costly to accomplish requiring compression, drying, multiple separations and deep refrigeration. Another extreme case is ethylene epoxidation to ethylene oxide where, even though oxygen is reacted to completion, ethylene per-pass conversion could be 10% or less and the effluent contains significant amounts of CO2 and methane (ballast). Clearly using feeds on a once-through basis for these two examples would generate large volumes of gases requiring thermal oxidation. While the feedstock costs for these programs would be significant, it would be difficult to justify installing the equipment for recovery and recycling them.
