The gargantuan 10-gigawatt array – spread out across some 20,000 football fields' worth of photovoltaic panels – might be situated close to the heart of the Australian outback, but the energy reaped from the plant will ultimately be transported far, far away from the sunburnt country.
That's because the Power Link doesn't just involve building the world's largest solar farm, which will be easily visible from space. The project also anticipates construction of what will be the world's longest submarine power cable, which will export electricity all the way from outback Australia to Singapore via a 4,500-kilometre (2,800 miles) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) network.
Be interesting to see that come into being.

Astoundingly ambitious solar project. I wish the article explained more about the current loss and how they combat that over the long transmission distances of the lines. Too, I always look for costs per KWh projections, which are always so hard to come by.

That White Castle is crazy busy. Every time I drive by there is a line of cars. It was suppose to be open 24/7 when it first opened they had to shut it down at night to restock and impose a max order of 60 sliders.

People are strange. I've never been there.
That heavy traffic might be from the influx of migrants from the frozen North into Arizona, where the new Arizonans grew up with White Castel’s version of burgers. It’s a theory to explain something that strange...

Wish I had known you were going to my home town, Ben. I could have given you a tip on some fine Tex-Mex decidedly different from your stomping grounds.
Why go to Waco for a gun show, may I ask?

There were two in the area, the other being in Itasca...I didn't get any action in Waco, but I scored in Itasca both buying and selling...Waco traffic on I35 is a cluster****...There's another in Riesel next weekend, but I don't think I'll go just because of the traffic...I'll go to the one in Pasadena tomorrow and try my luck...
Some good TexMex would have helped my disposition today......Ben

The Indiana clan side of my wife's family are all nuts over White Castle---and for the life of me I don't get it. The first thing that has to happen when we gather in Indianapolis is to go for a "bag" of those greasy little buggers. I have tried them a few times with the same results---they make my tummy hurt
....Ben, a slider is a small hamburger--commonly offered in bars by the plate full. White Castles are small sliders:
White Castle embraced the name, and trademarked it. Now, fans call their burgers “belly bombers.” The burger patties are actually very small, just 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) square. One pound (450g) of ground beef will make 18 of White Castle hamburger patties.
My guess is that the greasy onions that are fried on the grill in the liberated fat from the 0.89 oz "burger" out weigh the burger by at least 2 to 1
I can attest to the accuracy of the term belly bombers
I would highly recommend that in the event you decide to try these little gems---you take them home before consuming--you want to be sure to have immediate access to the "facilities".
Here is an "upgraded" photo of their cheeseburgers

I see them at the grocery store frozen in boxes...I was more curious about the name "slider"...I assume all the grease makes them slide off the plate if you're not careful......Ben

Interesting...I suppose if I were to commit suicide-by-lousy-diet, I would look for a White Castle co-owned with a Dunkin Donut franchise and add a box of sugar-coated lardballs to a plate of sliders......Ben

Now you’re making me hungry.
You are what you eat. In my case, fast, easy & cheap.
