Joohyung Kim tied for 6th on the PGA American Express … Season 2 top 10 success
Kim Joo-hyung washed away the pain of missing the cut at the last Sony Open and entered the top 10 for the second time.
On the 23rd (Korean time), Kim Joo-hyung scored a 5 under par 67 in the final round of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour American Express (total prize money of 8 million dollars) held at the PGA West Stadium Course (par 72) in La Quinta, California, USA.
Although he was unable to win the come-from-behind championship, he showed good condition by eliciting a positive response from the crowd in the final round. Kim Joo-hyung tied for 6th place with a total of 23 under par and 265 strokes in the 4th round. 바카라사이트
Kim Joo-hyung tied for 5th in the Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first tournament of the new year, and entered the top 10 twice in the three tournaments held this year. Including last year's Shriners Children's Open victory, it is the third top 10 entry in the 2022-2023 season.
Kim Joo-hyung, who entered the final round in a tie for 5th place, 5 strokes behind leader Ram, played an aggressive game, reducing 3 strokes to the 5th hole. However, he made consecutive bogeys on holes 6 (par 3) and 7 (par 4) and seemed to be far from winning. However, it soon raised the ranking again with consecutive birdies on holes 8 (par 5) and holes 11 (par 5), followed by holes 16 (par 5) and 17 holes (par 3).
Lim Seong-jae (25) finished the tournament in a tie for 18th place (20 under par 268) by hitting 3 under par 69 strokes. Kim Si-woo (28), who challenged to win the championship for two weeks in a row, reduced 6 strokes that day to finish in a tie for 22nd (19 under par, 269 strokes).
Meanwhile, the winner of the competition was John Rahm (Spain). Ram recorded a 4-under-par 68 and lifted the trophy with a total of 27-under 261 strokes. He defeated Davis Thompson (USA) by one stroke.
Ram is the winning trophy only this month following the Sentry Tournament of Champions.. The 1st place in the FedEx Cup rankings and the 1st place in the prize money rankings were, of course, his share. On the other hand, Kim Joo-hyung, who revived the embers of the rising trend that seemed to be broken after failing to pass the cut at the Sony Open last week, also raised the FedEx Cup ranking to second place.

Description: From Neal and others (2009): "On January 10, 2006, AVO raised the Level of Concern from GREEN to YELLOW after a sharp increase in earthquake activity beneath Mount Martin that had begun on January 8 (Dixon and others, 2007). Roughly 300 earthquakes were located in just over 2 days [see fig. 38 in original text], a significant increase over the long-term average rate of less than one event per day since the seismic network was installed in 1996. Satellite data did not indicate any obvious changes at the surface.
"Elevated seismicity continued for about 2 weeks after which the rate of shallow volcano-tectonic earthquakes decreased to levels considered background for Mount Martin. On January 27, AVO downgraded the Level of Concern to GREEN. Throughout this seismic swarm, no surface manifestations of the increase in seismicity were noted in satellite imagery or by passing pilots. The cause of this swarm remains uncertain (John Power, USGS, oral commun., 2007)."

WHY NOT JOIN US THIS SEASON
ECDSA welcomes one and all at St James' Park.
A question for you: do you or anyone you know have a disability that affects your / their match day experience at our football club? If so we would like to hear from you.
Through our membership and various fund raising initiatives ECDSA has raised funds to help improve the match day experience for home and away fans during their visit to St James' Park as well as helping other disability groups. For example last season ECDSA purchased an attendant style wheelchair for use by anyone visiting the club who is in need of one – please ask for this at the main reception. In addition ECDSA made donations to the club's Ability Counts Football Team. These are just two examples of the many things ECDSA has achieved over the past 9 years.
ECDSA would like to see its membership break the 100 mark this season (65 members for 2015/16) and there is no better time, than at the beginning of a new campaign, to join ECDSA. We welcome all supporters; you don't have to have a disability to join us. So if you've an interest in helping us improve the match day experience of both home and away fans with disabilities or would just like to join us then we would like to hear from you.
Membership is just £5.00 per person per season. ECDSA members are included in the Exeter City FC priority group ticket database. Application forms to become a member of ECDSA can be downloaded from our new website at: JOIN-US or are available at the Club reception.
Mike Mullarkey (former Premier League and FIFA Assistant Referee) ECDSA's Ambassador said ''I have been privileged to enjoy a wonderful career being involved in football at the highest level. I was thrilled to be invited to be an Ambassador for the ECDSA, which will allow me to give something back to the game. Football should be accessible to and enjoyed by all and I am delighted to be able to play a small part in helping to further develop the excellent work that the Association has been doing since it was formed in 2007. '
EXETER CITY DISABLED
SUPPORTERS ASSOCIATION
ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT A WHOPPING £345.32 WAS DONATED DURING THE HALF TIME BUCKET COLLECTION AT THE PORTSMOUTH MATCH ON SATURDAY 27TH AUGUST 2016.
AN INTERVIEW WITH ECDSA
MARTIN ROBERTSON
A FOLLOW UP TO LEVEL PLAYING FIELD – WEEKS OF ACTION EVENT 16TH April 2016
The 16th April 2016 was an important date in the 2015/16 League 2 calendar for two reasons.
Firstly the visitors to St James' Park that day were Northampton Town and the 0-0 draw they achieved with City meant that they [Northampton Town] were crowned League 2 champions.
The secondly and more importantly for our club, was the invitation given by the club in association with ECDSA to a number of disabled ex-service personnel to attend the game under the Level Playing Field's initiative 'Weeks of Action'.
As a follow up to that 'Weeks of Action' event THE GRECIAN caught up with ECDSA committee member Martin Robertson who made it all happen.
Andy Gillard (Operations Manager) with Martin Robertson before the 'Weeks of Action' event – 16/04/2016
Q – Martin how long have you been a City fan?
A – My first game was back in the 60s when my father brought me to the Park when he was stationed locally. As a small boy I remember enjoying the atmosphere and a good game on a muddy pitch.
Q – What did you do when you left school?
A – I joined the Army in July 1972 and in that September I joined the Army Apprentice College in Aldershot for 6 terms training. It was a great experience – basic training was for one term, which included, drill, rifle drill, weapon training, map reading, live firing on the ranges, running, combat fitness testing, march and shoot competitions, etc, the food was excellent, we were well fed, breakfast, lunch, tea plus supper. Pay was pretty poor though at £1.50 a week so money was always tight during my 18 months training as a boy soldier.
Martin on the Ranges in the 1980s – nearest one shooting
Q – How long were you in the Army?
A – When I retired from the Army in 1996 I had served a total of 24 years exemplary service both home and abroad. I have experienced the good and the bad, I have met some fantastic people and I have many friends. I am a disabled veteran now and in receipt of a war pension as a result of injuries I received through service.
Q – Tell us a bit about your charity work.
A – When serving I did a lot of work for Armed Forces charities such as, Toch H, SSAFA, the Royal British Legion, the Chelsea Hospital and latterly Help for Heroes. All these organisations are superb, they help serving soldiers, sailors and airmen, their families and anyone who has had a link with the armed forces.
Q – How does your disability affect you at games?
A – Getting to the Park is really difficult for me. You may have seen me struggling up and down the stairs by block H. I arrive at the park early and leave on 88 minutes so I don't get in the way of exiting fans. I have to park my car near to the ground as I can't walk far these days.
I am a fighter and living with a disability is a challenge. Disability is very hard but luckily at the club we have a fantastic organisation, the Exeter City Disabled Supporters Association (ECDSA) who work extremely hard behind the scenes to ensure that all disabled fans have access to the park and enjoy the experience of watching football the same as able bodied people.
Q – Tell us why you put together the 'Weeks of Action' event for disabled ex-service personnel?
A – Our disabled ex-servicemen and women are an asset to our nation; some are not able to attend home games mainly because of their disability and also because of cost. The Club have been outstanding in supporting the work of ECDSA and Andy Gillard, the clubs Operations Manager, has been amazing in recognising the help disabled people need. Each season ECDSA tries to put on an event to support Level Playing Field's 'Weeks of Action' thus helping to highlight the positive initiatives undertaken by clubs, sporting venues and their governing bodies in partnership with disabled sports fans and disabled supporters associations.
I thought it would be a good idea to show the club's support for the 'Weeks of Action' initiative if the club could invite a small number of disabled ex-service personnel and their carers to a match who otherwise would not be able to attend. The club kindly agreed to this and as a result I arranged, through the various associations and charities I am involved with, for 4 disabled ex-service personnel and their carers to attend the Northampton Town game.
Q – Are you planning any follow up action from the event?
A – I would love it for the club to allow disabled veterans regular access to the park so that they can enjoy the match day experience the same as the able bodied do. The various charities and associations that support the brave men and woman are self supporting and they are grateful to the public for donating to these worthy causes. Our little club is small but has loads of caring supporters. ECDSA is a fantastic organisation with around 65 members. Membership is just £5.00 per person and you don't have to be disabled to be a member.
On a personal note I would like to urge all clubs to give all service personnel discounted prices (maybe at the same level as they do for seniors) for them and their close families upon production of an official ID card as proof. As many of them serve away from home for months at a time and are unable to attend games regularly it's an opportunity for them to bond with their families at a sporting event. Another thought I have is for clubs to allow supporters with a registered disability free access to games say for three games a season.
Remember disability can be both physical and mental; both are a challenge to the individual and their families.

We hold our 10th anniversary event and raised funds for Reverse Rett.
On Tuesday, April 18, we hosted our 10th anniversary event at St James Park, with use raising £837.66 for the Reverse Rett charity.
Our partners Exeter Nissan and Green My Business kindly donated towards a small buffet.
The night was hosted by our vice-chair Andrew Barge, and began with a presentation of our achievements over the past 10 years.
We wanted to give something back, and decided to use our anniversary event to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome, and to help raise vital funds for medical research conducted by Reverse Rett. Our first president and who held this position for four years was former City midfielder Bertie Cozic who made 98 appearances for the Grecians between 2006 and 2011, and was part of the team that was promoted to League One in 2009. Bertie's daughter Lily-Rose has Rett Syndrome, which affects nearly every aspect of a girl's life: their ability to speak, walk, eat and even breathe easily.
Nick Saunders, our chairman said: "Our 10th anniversary event was the most fitting way to celebrate our anniversary and raising just over £800 for Reverse Rett is an amazing amount and is beyond our wildest dreams and will help them massively. I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone for attending and giving so generously and to all those who helped on the night and to all the past & present city players plus our Ambassador Mike Mullarkey for giving up their time and helping to make the evening the success it turned out to be. Thank you all."
Former City players Wayne Carlisle and Bertie Cozic, were joined by current City first-team players Lee Holmes (our current president), Jordan Moore-Taylor and EFL's Young Player of the Year Ollie Watkins, and our Ambassador Mike Mullarkey, linesman at the 2010 World Cup Final, for a Q&A session. Topics for the Q&A included player's football heroes, most memorable moments of their careers so far, and a discussion on the standards, and future of refereeing, and if video replays are a good idea. The blind auction, refereed by Mike Mullarkey, proved hugely popular and included an Alan Shearer signed Blackburn Rovers Premier League winning Shirt, a George Friend signed Middlesbrough shirt and many others.
Prizes for the raffle included signed Exeter City memorabilia, bottles of wine and spirits, chocolates and many other donated items.
The night ended with a fitting tribute and presentation to our chairman Nick Saunders, who is stepping down after 10 years of being chairman.
Committee member Martin Robertson explained that Nick had been the driving force behind making ECDSA the success it is today, and how he has been influential in making sure anyone enjoys matchdays at St James Park.
Thanks again to all those who attended and gave so generously for such a worthy cause.

At the city match vs. Morecombe we were joined on the pitch by Bertie Cozic to hand over a cheque for £837.66 to give to Reverse Rett.
Our members have voted Christy Pym as Most Improved Player of the Year.
🏆 🏆A massive Congrats to Christy. ⚽⚽⚽
Presenting the award at the Exeter City end of season ball on Sunday 30th April from left/right, ECDSA committee member Martin Robertson and award sponsor Steve Gazzard.
The Exeter City Disabled Supporters Association 'Most Improved Player of the Year' award was first awarded at the end of the 2007/08 season and past winners have been: George Friend; Dean Moxey; Liam Sercombe; James Dunne; Scot Bennet; Artur Krysiak; Tom Nichols; Jordan Moore-Taylor and last year's winner was Ollie Watkins.
Below is our chairman's last report as Nick is standing down after setting up our association back in 2007 and holding the post of chairman for 10 years.
Hello & welcome to this the 10th "yes" 10th' Annual General Meeting of the Exeter City Disabled Supporters Association and the following is my 10th and sadly my last report as your chairman.
We've been fairly busy again and the following is what's been happening here at ECDSA over the past season:
Ambassador: Former England Premier League & FIFA Assistant Referee Mike Mullarkey continued as our ambassador and attends meeting when possible.
President: For a very short time Danny Butterfield continued as our president until he left the football club to take up a job at Southampton FC. The great news is that Lee Holmes accepted our offer to replace Danny and Lee kindly supported us attending some events through the season, so thank you Lee for your fantastic support. We had the pleasure in sponsoring Lee Holmes training kit.
Match day accessible parking: We continued to allocate accessible parking on behalf of the football club. This ensured that all spaces were used on match days by those with disabilities only.
Level Playing Field membership: We continued to be fully paid up members and this ensured we could get any legal advice and support if needed on any disability issues.
Bucket collection: The football club again kindly gave us the opportunity to have a bucket collection which this time was the Portsmouth game on 27th August and we raised a fantastic amount through fans overwhelming generosity and the half-time given up by all our bucket collectors, thank you.
New banners: Sign's Express very kindly donated 2 banners so we can advertise ourselves a bit better and enable us to become more visible.
Stadium Manager: We welcomed Mark Latham, the clubs newly appointed stadium manager and Mark has been attending all our meetings and we've been working with him on some issues and he's been fantastic in helping us sort out these. Issues ranging from: repainting of lines in the designated bays; coat hooks, reposition of loo roll holders and running water in the accessible toilets; signage; accessible parking relocation and painting plus installing a new radar key locking system. The relocation and painting of accessible parking spaces plus locking system all paid for by our association most recently.
Christmas draw: Draw took place on 14th December here at the Park and was attended by City players Lee Holmes & Jordan Moore-Taylor. We welcomed Simon Willcocks & Russell Lemon from Exeter Nissan together with Stuart Doderer from 'GreenMyBusiness' all of whom helped to draw the lucky winning tickets for the prizes they had donated. We had 20 prizes up for grabs and we must thank all those who so kindly donated prizes: Exeter Nissan, GreenMyBusiness, Midas, Subway of Sidwell Street, Mr D Herniman, Grays of Worcester, Hartley's Certified Accountants, Mr D Collinge, Exeter City FC, Exeter City Supporters Trust, One Game One Community and ECDSA committee members together with everyone who sold and purchased tickets.
Re-development: Our representatives have had many meetings with Justin Quick (the club's adviser on developments) and we've all been working on the concerns and issues we had with the plans and we hope Justin has taken on board all our worries as redevelopments have now started. We will continue to keep an eye on things and we look forward to hopefully seeing the changes we've kindly asked for and within the redevelopments limited budget.
ECDSA Partnership: A first for us, we have formed partnerships with Exeter Nissan; GreenMyBusiness and most recently, Signs Express. This is a show of our success over the years and we welcome their support and working with us, like they did when we held our Christmas draw and Anniversary event.
10th Anniversary event: On Tuesday, April 18th we hosted our 10th anniversary event at St James Park, with all money raised going to the Reverse Rett charity. We wanted to give something back as we're always raising funds to help our football club, so we decided to use our anniversary event to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome, and to help raise some vital funds for medical research conducted by Reverse Rett. Our first president and who held this position for four years was former City midfielder Bertie Cozic. Bertie's daughter Lily-Rose has Rett Syndrome, which affects nearly every aspect of a girl's life: their ability to speak, walk, eat and even breathe easily. I am sure you'll all agree that this was the best and most fitting way to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. Amount raised to follow. I am sure you'd like me to go over what we've achieved over the past 10 years "here goes, only joking" as I'm sure you'll all want to go home tonight.
Most Improved Player award 2016/17: Members were asked again to vote for their 'Most improved player of the year' and this year's winner was Christie Pym. The trophy was presented to Christie by committee member Martin Robertson and our trophy sponsor Steve Gazzard at the club's end of season ball.
Social media: We now have our own Facebook page, which allows us to get our news out more quickly and effectively.
New ECDSA badge/logo: With support from Scott Palfrey (ECFC marketing) we we're able to refresh and update our logo with a new design and look, which we had made into fantastic looking limited-edition pin badges. All new members and those renewing will be given a badge as part of their membership at no extra cost.
Membership is still at a steady level and long may it continue. We've high hopes of the association having over 100 members, which I'm sure will be achieved one day in the near future.
Our association is still supportive of the South West Disabled Fans' Experience Forum as founder members with last year's forum taking place at Bristol City and was another great success with the next forum taking place at Newport County in October this year.
As stated at the beginning of this report this is my last chairman's report.
As your chairman for the past 10 years I hope I've fulfilled my duties well and with dignity.
It's been a real privilege and honour being chairman to this fantastic association and I've been able to work with some fantastic people. In my time as chairman Jeanne and David Jones have been by my side as founding committee members and have supported me through some very differcute times and without them I think I would not have lasted 10 years, so thank you both for your fantastic support and continued friendship.
The association will continue to be a success as it has done for the first 10 years under my chairmanship and will continue to do so under the stewardship of new chairman and committees in years to come.
I would like to finish by thanking the committee for all their hard work and time given for the benefit of our members and Exeter City over the past season. Our partners, Exeter Nissan; GreenMyBusiness and Signs Express for their support. Mike Mullarkey and Lee Holmes for their fantastic support of our association and to all our members for their continued support and to Exeter City Football Club for allowing us to use their facilities, again for free, for our meetings and finally to you all for attending this year's AGM.
Thank you all for your fantastic support over the years and thank you so much for listening.
Nick Saunders, ECDSA Chairman – Date: 11th July, 2017
Below is a statement from our Ambassador Mike Mullarkey.
'I am sorry I am unable to attend the AGM this evening. I am currently on holiday in Spain and whilst it sounds idyllic I am being thrashed at golf by my Son and a good friend of mine so you can imagine the abuse I am taking…. nothing I am not used to!
I would like to commend the Committee Members on another tremendous year for the Association. To Nick and all the team, the work and dedication you put into improving things for disabled supporters of our great club is hugely appreciated and an inspiration.
It says everything about the organisation that whilst hosting an event to commemorate our 10 Year Anniversary, the decision was taken that funds raised should support Bertie's very special charity. A fantastic gesture and I was delighted to be present to support that event.
My change of role in my professional life has not made it any easier to attend meetings etc. So, for this I apologise and would understand if you wish to take the opportunity to seek an alternative ambassador?
Lastly, I must add my tribute to Nick as his tenure as Chairman comes to a close. Your work in getting the association up and running and then steering it so well through the last 10 years, building membership and, just as vitally, links with the club has been just outstanding.
The Association is in a tremendous position to push forward still further and you should be immensely proud for what you have achieved.
I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Anyway, I think it already looks much better.
Cool. It's definitely better than it was.

Warren: What Republicans want to take away
Elizabeth Warren/Guest columnist
Jul 8, 2012 at 12:01 AM Jul 8, 2012 at 8:04 AM
The fight is on — again. Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and Republicans across this country are doubling down against President Obama's health care reform law. Now that the Supreme Court has said that most of the new law passes constitutional muster, the Republicans are running for office pledging to repeal every aspect of the health care reforms.
For millions of people this isn't a political issue, it's a personal one. Their health depends on it.
Massachusetts has led the country in health care reform. Most of us — 98 percent — have health care coverage, and our state leads the country in tackling head-on the ever-growing costs of health care. That is why President Obama used our law as a model for health care reform. But the national Affordable Care Act adds some important elements that improve care even here in Massachusetts.
For seniors, health care reform means expanding Medicare coverage to pick up the costs of prescription drugs. As the donut hole closes, the average Massachusetts senior has so far saved about $650. But Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and their fellow Republicans want to take that away.
For young people, health care reform means staying on their parents' insurance plans until they are 26. So far, more than 20,000 young people here in Massachusetts have taken advantage of this. But Romney, Brown, and their fellow Republicans want to take that away.
For everyone, health care reform means access to preventive care like colonoscopies or mammograms without co-pays. Early detection can save both lives and money. In Massachusetts, 780,000 individuals have received such services. But Republicans want to take that away.
For anyone who develops cancer, a chronic illness, or any medical condition that can cost a staggering amount of money, health care reform means that their insurance company can't set some arbitrary limit on lifetime coverage. Because of that, countless families will have more secure and stable health care. But Republicans want to take that away.
For small business owners who are struggling with rising health care costs, the federal reforms give tax breaks on insurance coverage. But Republicans want to take away that tax break for small businesses.
The Affordable Care Act is already helping families in the Commonwealth. Together, these reforms make families safer. Better health care coverage means more people will get preventive care — and that means catching serious problems earlier when outcomes are better and treatments are cheaper. Better health care coverage also means that when someone receives a bad diagnosis, the family won't be crushed financially. And helping small businesses pay for health care premiums also means that they can compete against bigger businesses on a more level playing field.
But now, Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and their fellow Republicans propose to repeal every single one of these provisions. And if they get their way, then what? They don't have any better proposal. It's just back to square one and more battles over health care.
It's time to move forward.
It's time to focus on building a future. It's time to create jobs, to improve education, to invest in roads and bridges, water, power and all the infrastructure that businesses need to get their goods to market and help people get to work — the things that create the right conditions for opportunities to flourish.
And yes, it's time to make the health care system better. We need to reduce health care costs, not by shifting those expenses to families, but by developing innovation in health care delivery and research that will cut costs by improving health outcomes. Massachusetts is already at the frontier of these innovations. Our hospitals receive the most NIH funding to discover new breakthroughs. Our businesses are at the fore of designing new medical devices and curing diseases through biotechnology. And our doctors, administrators, insurers, and others all across our health care system are working toward a shared future of better health and lower costs for everyone. They deserve our support, not more years of fighting.
Now that the Supreme Court has resolved the last challenge to health care reforms, we have a real opportunity to move ahead, to concentrate on strengthening our economy and giving hard working families a chance to build real security. It's time to move forward.

Building the structure of metal by cutting, bending, and assembling the raw metal is called Metal Fabrication. The cutting of metal during fabrication is done by saw, shear, or chisel; torching is done with handheld torches like oxy-fuel torches or plasma torches. The bending is done using hammering, press brakes and similar type tools. The assembling that is joining of the metal pieces is done using welding, threaded fasteners, adhesives and riveting.
* The work done by blacksmith is also included in fabrication.
* The products produced by welders involve the use of fabrication.
* The making of boilers also requires the skilled use of fabrication techniques.
* Steel erectors/ironworkers, are also involved in metal fabrication jobs.
The standard raw materials used by metal fabricators are plate metal, sheet metal, tube stock, welding wire, hardware, CDSM, square stock, sectional metals, castings and fittings.

Q: Collect KeyErrors from Ruby hash into array I need to extract multiple fields from hash. But I respect my client and I want to gather all missed fields instead of returning it one by one. My idea was to use #fetch, intercept error with KeyError, put error.key into instance variable array and return proper error explanation with full list of missed keys.
Something like that
class Extractor

  def initialize hash
    @hash = hash
    @missed_keys = []
  end

  def call
    extract_values
    return "Missed keys: #{@missed_keys.join(', ')}" if @missed_keys.present?
  rescue KeyError => e
    puts 'Field was missed'
    @missed_keys << e.key
    return 'Error'
  end

  private

  def extract_values
    {
      value_1: @hash.fetch(:required_field_1),
      value_2: @hash.fetch(:required_field_2),
      value_3: @hash.fetch(:required_field_3)
    }
  end
end

When I try to process hash without required fields I got 'Error' after the first missed field:
pry(main)> Extractor.new(hash: {}).call
Field was missed
=> "Error"

Any clues?
DrySchema and other hash validators are not an option.

A: An issue with the provided solution is that the extracted values are never returned in the happy path (which presumably is important?). The call method is also stateful / non-idempotent. Subsequent calls to call will duplicate the missing-keys.
Finally - not sure how it's being used, but I don't love a method that returns either a hash or a string.
An alternative that attempts to follow a more functional pattern might look like:
class Extractor
  attr_reader :hash, :missed_keys, :required_keys

  def initialize hash
    @hash = hash
    @missed_keys = []
    @required_keys = [:required_field_1, :required_field_2, :required_field_3]
  end

  def call
    validate_keys_exist!
    extract_values
  end

  private

  def validate_keys_exist!
    missed_keys = find_missing_keys
    raise MissingKeysError, "Missed keys: #{missed_keys.join(', ')}" if missed_keys.any?
  end

  def find_missing_keys
    required_keys - hash.keys
  end

  def extract_values
    hash.slice(*required_keys)
    # not sure if you need to map the keys to new values.
    # if so you can iterate over a hash of `from: :to` pairs instead of the
    # required_keys array.
  end

end

A: Ok, I got it. The reason is in intercept level and method closures.
In aforementioned implementation Ruby tried to execute call method, got an error and exits.
If we rework it like that:
class Extractor

  def initialize hash
    @hash = hash
    @missed_keys = []
  end

  def call
    extract_values
    return "Missed keys: #{@missed_keys.join(', ')}" if @missed_keys.present?
  end

  private

  def extract_values
    {
      value_1: @hash.fetch(:required_field_1),
      value_2: @hash.fetch(:required_field_2),
      value_3: @hash.fetch(:required_field_3)
    }
  rescue KeyError => e
    puts 'Field was missed'
    @missed_keys << e.key
    nil
  end

end

it looks better, but still not what we wanted:
pry(main)> Extractor.new(hash: {}).call
Field was missed
=> "Missed keys: required_field_1"

This is because ruby tried to execute extract_values method, encounters first missed value and exits
So the solution as follow:
class Extractor

  def initialize hash
    @hash = hash
    @missed_keys = []
  end

  def call
    extract_values
    return "Missed keys: #{@missed_keys.join(', ')}" if @missed_keys.present?
  end

  private

  def extract_values
    {
      value_1: fetch_value(:required_field_1),
      value_2: fetch_value(:required_field_2),
      value_3: fetch_value(:required_field_3)
    }
  end

  def fetch_value(key)
    @hash.fetch(key)
  rescue KeyError => e
    puts 'Field was missed'
    @missed_keys << e.key
    nil
  end

end

Extractor.new(hash: {}).call
Field was missed
Field was missed
Field was missed
=> "Missed keys: required_field_1, required_field_2, required_field_3"

Error interception is accomplished on the fetch_value level and Ruby skips required values one by one

Dengue, the most common mosquito-borne viral infection in both subtropical and tropical regions worldwide, impacts more than just health. Aside from the severe flu-like illness inflicted on its victims, patients and affected families bear the financial burden of hospital stays and medication.
Severe dengue affects most Asian and Latin American countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and death among children and adults alike.
The dengue vaccination, which can be administered to anyone aged nine to 45 years old, can provide protection from strains of the dengue virus. This should be taken in three zero-six-12-month intervals. People who already have history of dengue are also recommended to get shots, as there are some types of dengue that the body is not immune to, according to Dr. Rontgene Solante of the Philippine Society of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
Sanofi's Dengvaxia costs P4,000 per dose, or P12,000 for all three doses. While the price may seem reasonable compared to the hefty cost of dengue treatment, it still is unattainable to many cash-strapped Filipinos.
Also, it hasn't been proven if the vaccine can provide lifetime protection since the body's immune system responds to antibodies for a certain time only.
Ramil Echague*, a recent dengue patient, shares that his hospital bill amounted to around P38,000 for six days. The price included fees for P5,000 private room and board and around P2,000 miscellaneous fees, exclusive of oral medications. Depending on your case, your hospital can bill you more than P170,000.
Though some of the medication will be given during the duration of confinement and will be charged to the hospital bill, patients must also be ready to shell out more money for prescriptions to be purchased at outside pharmacies.
The physicians and specialists' fees, as well as medications, should be the largest chunk of your bill. To offset costs, do not be lured by admitting personnel offering more expensive boarding as deluxe upgraded room prices can rack up around P4,500 per day, on average.
In times like this, you can rely on maximizing your PhilHealth benefits, HMO privileges (for employees), as well as health insurance. PhilHealth can cover your hospital bill for up to P8,000 for Dengue I and P16,000 for Dengue II of all Sponsored Program members admitted at accredited government hospitals. This includes indigent families enrolled in the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP).

SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. The major search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, and Google all display the most relevant website pages at the top of their search pages. The procedure is free, and in that accord, web owners are tasked with aligning their stuff to increase their websites recognition. The result of proper SEO is an increase in the quantity and the quality of organic search traffic.
How many times do you pass multiple billboards on your way to work in Bethany? If the advertisement shows a major promotion in a clothing store, chances are a big number of individuals will go to check it out, and maybe buy some stuff. The exact advertisement policy works with SEO. As users search for the internet for various queries, the more they see it in the search engines, the more than likely they are going to visit the page.
Search engines use crawlers to collect information from the internet and an index to rank the various pages of content in their database. Optimization entails changing titles, meta descriptions. There are millions of people using search engines on a regular basis to seek for information, and businesses are always tweaking their websites in order to reap the benefits of SEO. Find below some reasons why any establishment, regardless of the size, should channel their resources in SEO.
For instance, someone looking for a nice restaurant for their next dinner in Bethany will choose some of the ones that show on the first page in their browser. Consider that running a successful firm needs investments.
SEO is regarded as the foundation through which many startup businesses in State have been able to succeed as there is no high operating costs involved. With the web, new establishments in State have a greater possibility for becoming more popular among consumers.
Several web users today look up items with their mobile phone devices. This is simple to grasp, thinking that smartphones are easy to carry around with you, being therefore convenient in a wide range of situations when you need urgent solutions. Mobile users tend to rely more on organic search results than on paid ads. This happens because organic results are customized to suit their personal profile and preferences. For businesses who rely on mobile traffic, SEO is a key investment.
Local establishments in Bethany have a lot to gain since they can easily get good reviews from clients who are dedicated to their enterprises. If you had the notion that getting an SEO professional is an unnecessary expenditure, keep in mind that individuals are always checking into new towns while paying visits and trying to find new options.
Small businesses in Bethany find it hard to fight against their established competitors, as they lack the means and the power to do it. SEO offers a cost effective and fair platform where online presence could help you rise to the challenge. A huge corporation may disregard the significance of SEO, which implies that small firms can take advantage of the opportunity to be the best alternatives in that particular niche. By using SEO it is allowing small businesses to not only get the small but find permanent customers.

Blade Runner 2049 Gets a Gritty and Noir New Trailer
August 22, 2017 Brandi Blahnik
Sony Pictures UK released a new international trailer for Blade Runner 2049 on Tuesday. The clip offers new glimpses of Officer K (Ryan Gosling) and Joi (Ana de Armas) sharing home life, as well as the gritty destruction wreaking havoc in the dystopian world.
The highly-anticipated sequel already has already released teasers and trailers hinting at the neon world that awaits. Though plot details are thin, the trailer promises the noir, atmospheric beauty that director Denis Villeneuve is known for. To say the film is in good hands would be putting it mildly. Villeneuve's last film, Arrival, received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.
For the sequel, Villeneuve has once again partnered with composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, who will be composing the film's score. His work on Arrival, Sicario, and Prisoners has produced the moody, haunting soundtracks that pair so well with Villeneuve's understated style.
Blade Runner 2049's synopsis follows:
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.
From executive producer Ridley Scott and director Denis Villeneuve, Blade Runner 2049 stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana De Armas, MacKenzie Davis, Sylvia Hoeks, Lennie James, Carla Juri, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto.
While Blade Runner was met with mixed reviews upon its release 35 years ago, the forthcoming sequel has been long awaited by fans who have come to consider the original film a cult classic. While you wait for the film's release, don't forget to check out our Blade Runner 2049 suggested reading.
Blade Runner 2049 will arrive in theaters October 6.

I Thought I Told You To Wait In The Car
The Flowers of Romance
Last year, as I listened to this album, I would be in the supermarket, the drums insistent in my earphones as I wandered past the bare shelves; I would be making lunch for my children with it playing in the background; I would listen while we did crafts, making cardboard puppets of our friends or drawing pictures of the party we planned to have when all of this was over; it was there pulsing in the back of my mind during our daily walks around the park; I would tap out its rhythms while I watched the news late into the night; it was there throbbing in my mind as I struggled to sleep.
I wrote about Public Image Ltd's The Flowers of Romance for The Quietus, on the occasion of the record turning 40 years old.
I spoke to John Lydon, Martin Atkins and Nick Launay about its context, recording and legacy.
You can read their reminiscences alongside my general wittering on the topic of its resonance in our terrible Covid-age on The Quietus here.
'Oblio,' she said, 'You should like to see Oblio?'
'See what?'
'Oblio.'
'What's Oblio?'
She angled her head in the direction of the woods, away from the house.
'There is a buca… what is your word? In the floor, a space… digging…'
'A hole?'
'Si. There is a hole. This is where he is living.'
'What? Who?'
'Oblio.' She stood up. 'You come see. Come. Avanti. Up.'
I have a new ghost story out. It's called 'Oblio' and will be published in Out of the Darkness, an anthology of dark fantasy and horror fiction loosely themed around mental health.
One bit of practical advice I always offer whenever I'm leading a creative writing workshop is this: if you can, set your story on a holiday. 'Oblio' is set on holiday. This isn't because I'm a writer who particularly enjoys (or is skilled at) writing descriptively about a story's settings. Rather, the appeal is an environment in which the characters are largely contained, mercifully shorn of the context of their daily lives, able only to interact with one another in any meaningful sense. As well being a handy way to bring these characters into sharper relief, a holiday setting also allows for tension to be built up with a ready plausibility, as the unfamiliar surroundings and encounters can slide smoothly into the ominous.
And, as anyone who has attended one of my workshops may well remember, I also have a habit of trying to crowbar a harmonium into pretty much everything I write, invariably for it to be removed during the edit. This story, I'm thrilled to announce, does feature a harmonium.
Briefly: 'Oblio' features two sisters who also happen to be a musical duo called Taurig. They are touring Europe to promote their debut album and we find them in Palermo, Italy, home of Carrie Viner, a reclusive and long-retired pop-star whose music had a great influence on Taurig. So they set out to find her. But overshadowing their jaunt are two things: the first is memories the narrator has of a traumatic trip her family took to Palermo she was a child. The second is her sister's depression. There are also, for those who find such things interesting, connecting incidents between 'Oblio' and an earlier ghost story of mine called 'Kloya and Klik' which also concerns two people who find they are at odds with one another while holidaying in Europe.
Writing about music and musicians is something I've developed an interest in over the past few years, and when I was tasked with writing a story which touches on both the supernatural and depression, I was immediately put in mind of one musical artist in particular: Nico.
Nico is best remembered as a member of the Velvet Underground and for her austere performance on their 1967 debut album. After leaving the group to record the soft-rock Chelsea Girl in the same year, Nico embarked on a career that saw her create a new sound, one defined by cryptic lyrics, stark, spectral arrangements, droning harmonium and an overwhelming sense of doom. I'm not sure who described Nico's music as 'not so much music you get into, more a hole you fall into' but I've always thought it an accurate summation, not just of her records but of also of a certain broader strata of culture of which Nico are just a small constituent part. Indeed, it also seems an apt way to describe a certain mode of depressive thinking. Nico's music follows its own terminal logic, alive with a strange, frightening sense of mourning: it's there in her wintry vocals and accompanying harmonium, a handheld reed organ which gives her music a pre-modern feel. It was this haunting, haunted sensation I wanted to capture as best I could in 'Oblio'.
The aim of Out of the Darkness is to raise awareness of mental health issues and funds for Together for Mental Wellbeing, a charity that helps people affected by mental health issues work towards independent and fulfilling lives.
We all have mental health and it's positive that the topic of mental illness is far more publicly discussed a topic than in the past, increasingly free of its taboo and stigma. However, the reality can often be far more alienating than the discourse suggests. For many, their mental wellbeing can come with a history of behaviour which is alienating and involves a loss of dignity which is hard to live with, both for them and for their loved ones. For these people medical and clinical interventions become an essential aspect of their lives. The current 'hugs and chats' discourse, while serving most people well, masks a mental health provision which is suffering from years of systematic underfunding. As the past year has seen widespread isolation, unemployment, record deaths and disruption to these services, the opportunity to create any kind of art which plumbs the mire of the human mind is a gift.
Out of the Darkness is published by the great Unsung Stories and also features fiction by Alison Moore, Nicholas Royle, Verity Holloway and others (and some no-mark called Jenn Ashworth).
It's currently available to pre-order on Kickstarter with a variety of rewards including a critique service from top notch editor Dan Coxon.

I find myself trying to imagine the virus, imagine myself catching it, or imagine Grandad catching, imagine him dying from it. But it's a kind of imagining that's hard to sustain – it feels indulgent, like a fantasy, like a depressive's daydream. 'Underlying conditions' – that's the phrase which the news reports always mention when it comes to the deaths. We have no conditions in our household, unless you count Grandad's dementia. And in any case the illness, as opposed to its social effects, remains unseen. When I watched the news this morning the reports were all of hospital exteriors, of dry soundbites from medical advisors conveyed via webcam. The figures in hospital beds, their faces obscured by ventilators, their limbs flapping weakly as they seize in panic – that is all left to the imagination.
I have a new short story available to read.
'Grasshopper' was written in response to events in real time with me finishing it only a couple of weeks ago. It takes the form of a woman in a remote village writing a journal which documents the moments when coronavirus creeps first through the country, then into her community and finally into her family.
Writing in this way - quickly, with ever-changing events informing the direction of the story - isn't usually my style but, like many other writers I know, I have found trying to think creatively with all of this swirling around me pretty much impossible. So it was cathartic to try to give voice to the anxieties I feel must have been fairly common over the past few months. Ordinarily, I would sit on a finished story like this for a while before putting it through the editorial process, trying to restructure the piece and smooth away the flaws. Clearly, in this instance the piece would lose some of its intended impact. My hope is that it feels authentic.
This piece was commissioned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority for their Covid-19 archive of works documenting and responding to the times we've all found ourselves living through.

Two Events
I have two very different events coming up which, quite simply, you'd be a blithering fool to miss.
First: I'll be for the launch of Love Bites, the latest anthology of short fiction from Dostoevsky Wannabe which takes Pete Shelley and Buzzcocks as its instigating force, where I'll be reading from my story 'Sky Yen', on Saturday 5th October at Gulliver's in, appropriately enough, Manchester. Tickets are free and you can find them along with all the other info you need here.
Then: we smash-cut to Tuesday October 29th when I'll be at Blackwells Manchester to compere an event with Lee Rourke, a man whose writing I've long admired (he too has contributed to Love Bites) but who I've never before met, and Jenn Ashworth, a colleague, co-writer and childhood friend. Lee's latest book is Glitch, a transatlantic novel of family and grief. Jenn's is Notes Made While Falling, a mind-bending literary memoir of motherhood and madness. I'll be in conversation with both, touching on grief, belief, the body, the north and turning experience into writing. Once again, tickets are free and can be found alongside all the ancillary information here.

Sitting in her living room with walls covered by traditional carpets and pillows on the floor, Mahadil Abdulaeva fights to hold back the tears as she recounts the sudden death from heart failure of her 1-year-old daughter Murzayim two days earlier.
In the dusty and rocky settlement of Ak-Jar, several kilometers from the center of the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, 30-year-old Abdulaeva and her remaining 3-year-old daughter live alongside about 15,000 other internal migrants – mostly from poor, rural villages in the southern half of the country – who live hand-to-mouth without a residency permit.
Without the appropriate "propiska," the 4,000 families in this squatter settlement, or "novostroika," have no access to social services, such as medical care or water. As Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary election takes place on October 10, adults without a propiska are also unable to exercise their constitutional right to vote.
Jamilya Asylbaeva, an administrator with Arysh – an NGO working to improve conditions within the novostroiki – says about 300,000 people live in the 50 new settlements ringing Bishkek. Government and civil society representatives estimate that 35,000 to 50,000 citizens living in these new districts – around 5 percent of the voting population in Bishkek – are not registered to vote, according to an October 1 report by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.
The number of disenfranchised voters could be much higher according to Asylbaeva, who says about 95 percent of all houses in the novostroiki are illegal.
The government maintains that those living in the novostroiki can vote, but they must return to their home district. For most, they have no money or means of transportation to and from their previous homes.
As she lays out plates of boiled mutton, sweets, fresh bread, pickled cabbage and steaming green tea for the visit of her brother and family from her hometown of Osh, Itibaeva says she would travel home to vote, but insists the government should pay the transportation for those without legal residency rights. The trip to Osh takes roughly 12 hours by car and costs 1200 som ($25) per person in a shared taxi. "It's money we don't have," she says.

Notre Affaire a Tous and Others v. Total
Jurisdiction: France
Principle law(s): 2020 Climate and Energy Package (contains Directive 2009/29/EC, Directive 2009/28/EC, Directive 2009/31/EC and Decision No. 406/2009/EC of the Parliament and the Council ; see below),Grenelle I
Side A: Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme (FNH), Greenpeace France, Notre Affaire à Tous and Oxfam France (Ngo)
Side B: Total (Corporation)
Whether a French oil company violated the French Commercial Code by failing to adequately report climate risks associated with its activities and take action to mitigate those risks in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The French NGOs Notre Affaire à Tous, Sherpa, Zea, and Les Eco Maires along with more than a dozen French local governments have taken the first step in a legal proceeding against French oil company and carbon major Total. The initiative seeks a court order forcing Total to issue a corporate strategy that 1) identifies the risks resulting from GHG emissions resulting from the use of goods and services that Total produces, 2) identifies the risks of serious climate-related harms as outlined in the 2018 IPCC special report, and 3) undertakes action to ensure the company's activities align with a trajectory compatible with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. The plaintiffs argue these obligations stem from domestic law Article L. 225-102-4.-I of the Commercial Code (Loi 27 Mars 2017 sur le devoir de vigilance des sociétés mères et des entreprises donneuses d'ordre). This law requires a company to produce a "plan of vigilance" that identifies and seeks to mitigate risks to human rights, fundamental freedoms, the environment, and public health that could result directly or indirectly from the operations of the company and of the companies it controls.
On June 18th, 2019, following a formal meeting with Total, the plaintiffs announced the launch of a legal proceeding and issued a letter of formal notice (mise en demeure) to Total. Plaintiffs asserted that Total had 3 months to include adequate GHG emissions reductions targets in its latest "plan de vigilance" before they filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to force the company to comply with the law and the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
On January 28, 2020, plaintiffs filed a complaint asking a Nanterre court to order Total to recognize the risks generated by its business activities and make it conduct consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. According to the plaintiffs, their complaint relies on the Law on the Duty of Vigilance, as well as the duty of environmental vigilance arising out of the the French Environmental Charter. The plaintiffs allege that Total didn't provide enough detailed information in its vigilance plan for reducing its emissions and the company is still not in line with international climate agreements.
Total did not respond to the merits and requested that the case be brought before the commercial court. On February 11, 2021, the pre-trial judge rejected Total's objection of incompetence and confirmed the jurisdiction of the judicial court. The judge considers that the NGOs have, as "non-traders", a right of option, which they exercise at their convenience, between the judicial court, which they have validly seized, and the commercial court. On November 18, 2021, the Versailles Court of Appeal confirmed the jurisdiction of the Nanterre judicial court to settle the dispute. The decision is based on the exclusive jurisdiction of certain courts of law in matters of cessation and compensation for ecological damage.

Fani strongest cyclone to hit India since 1999: Skymet
India has witnessed at least 20 severe cyclonic storms in past two decades but the ongoing "extremely severe" cyclone "Fani", which hit the eastern coast along Odisha with a wind speed of up to 200 km per hour on Friday, has been found to be the strongest to hit the country since 1999.
New Delhi Published on: May 03, 2019 22:15 IST
Private forecaster Skymet said the Super Cyclone of 1999 had struck the eastern coast with a wind speed of 225-250 kmph, wreaking havoc in Odisha, destructing whatever came in its path.
"After the Super Cyclone of 1999, Fani has been found to be the strongest cyclone to hit India as the wind speed crossed the 200 kmph-mark," Mahesh Palawat, Director at Skymet, told IANS.
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) chief K.J. Ramesh said that 'Fani' was also the strongest cyclonic storm in the month of April since 1901.
"Also, Fani has been found to have the longest survival cycle. It has lasted too long," Ramesh told IANS.
There is a glaring difference between the Super Cyclone of 1999 and the current one, as over 10,000 people were killed in the former while casualties have been minimal in the latter, thanks to the technological advancements and the improved disaster management system put in place this time.
"Loss of life should be minimum this time due to the advancement of information system and effective response actions such as evacuation measures and preventive remedies," Ramesh said.
In 2014, over 80 people were killed by Cyclone "Hudhud" which had a wind speed of 200-205 kmph. It was the strongest cyclonic storm since the Super Cyclone of 1999 till Cyclone Fani appeared on the scene.
The death toll had crossed 60 after Cyclone "Titli" pounded Odisha last year with a wind speed of 140-150 kmph gusting to 165 kmph.
"In 1999, we did not have satellite images or Doppler radar. Even if we could get satellite images, they were not accurate. So we could not track the storm or determine the location where it would land. We were not sure about its intensity," Palawat said.
He also appreciated the government agencies for their disaster management efforts in the past few days.
Timely and accurate weather updates, including the movement of Fani, helped authorities execute their disaster management plans effectively.
While two deaths were reported in Odisha on Friday, the damages were largely restricted to uprooting of trees, destruction of crops, disruption of air/road communication, power supply and telecommunication networks and damages to houses.
The cyclone is expected to move north-eastward towards West Bengal with a wind speed of 90-100 kmph gusting to 115 kmph by Friday midnight or early Saturday, triggering moderate to heavy rainfall in the state and the adjoining Bihar and Jharkhand.
After making its landfall on Friday morning, Cyclone Fani started to weaken due to loss of moisture, Palawat said. It means it posed lesser risk to people going forward than it did in the morning.
In Odisha alone, about 10,000 villages and 52 Urban Local Bodies were affected by the cyclonic storm even as over 1.1 million people were evacuated to safe places by the authorities.

What is the best, cheapest source of electricity?

Nothing can get people in the energy industry fired up like the debate over the cheapest, or best, way to generate electricity.
Many readers have asked that I write a column comparing the costs and benefits of coal, natural gas, wind, solar and biomass. I've demurred because data sources are never complete, and the conclusions are often twisted by advocates trying to make a case for their clients in this $6-trillion-a-year industry.
The Energy Institute at the University of Texas, though, says it has a definitive answer: It's really, really complicated.
"What is more affordable depends on where you are," Michael Webber, deputy director of the Energy Institute, explained.
Since Webber and his team went to work on their analysis of "The Full Cost of Energy" several years ago, they've found that costs familiar to every businessperson - land, labor and capital - are just as important as the price of the energy resource.
Geography often determines these costs when it comes to energy. How frequently the facility produces energy, known as the capacity factor, is also of critical importance. A nuclear power plant runs nearly nonstop, while wind turbines are sometimes still, so those costs will vary.
This explains why the U.S. Energy Information Agency's analysis of the "levelized cost of electricity" is just the beginning of the story. It's also why some coal plants are ridiculously expensive and some new solar projects are unbelievably cheap when a more simple analysis would expect the opposite is true.

To understand how all of these factors combine to create the full cost of new generation facilities, the institute has two online calculators at http://calculators.energy.utexas.edu/.
The calculator does not include public policy decisions, such as government subsidies or whether the grid has regulated prices or operates as a wholesale market, like the Texas system known as ERCOT.
One of the tools offers a county-by-county comparison of electricity costs across the country, while the other allows you to compare the costs associated in your county with different electricity sources.
Harris County's numbers will cause some consternation with those hoping to revive the Texas lignite coal industry. Natural gas burned in a combined-cycle turbine is the clear winner at $101.03 a megawatt-hour in Houston, while subbituminous lignite coal costs $241.65 a megawatt-hour.
The other major sources for Houston include nuclear power at $144.29, onshore wind at $164.48, utility-scale solar at $184.26, Wyoming coal at $238.52 and residential solar at $344.10. What's most surprising, though, is how radically these numbers change within a few hundred miles.
In Dallas County, natural gas costs $101.85, onshore wind is $126.14, and lignite coal is $204.26. In El Paso, utility-scale solar costs only $141.82, cheaper than onshore wind, which comes in at $144.14.
Both online calculators allow you to tweak every variable in the models' assumptions, so that you can imagine higher natural gas prices or lower capital costs. A few minor adjustments, and the picture can change dramatically.
"The biggest surprise for us was that coal is never the cheapest option, unless you ignore all environmental impacts," Webber said. "Nuclear was the cheapest option in places where the wind resources are poor and local natural gas prices are quite high."
A new presidential administration is unlikely to change any of this math, since these numbers already assume no tax credits for wind or solar energy. The tool does allow users to zero out pollution-control costs, even if that's unlikely.
"Even then, it looks like wind and natural gas are still the most economic options, which is what the markets have been saying for a while," Webber said. "Maybe some coal plants don't retire as quickly, but the new builds would keep following the path we've seen the last few years."
Ultimately, the market and technology will decide what resources are developed, he added.
This conclusion is exactly what pragmatists like myself have claimed all along. The solution for now is an all-of-the-above strategy, where the balance between fossil fuels and renewable sources changes over time as technology evolves, capital is repaid and science improves.
Corporations don't want to hear that, of course. Incumbents like coal and natural gas want the government to ensure their market share in perpetuity. New electricity sources want the same incentives that fossil fuels enjoyed in the 20th century so they can build market share and reduce costs.
Politicians and regulators have a tough job ahead as they shape policy to account for economics and the environment. But the idea that one source of generation is clearly superior to all others is dead. The real world is far more complicated.
