Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A combination of physical environmental variables and government policies centered on mandates and production subsidies have led to a robust growth in alternative energies in southern Minnesota. Centered on wind turbine generated electricity and bio-fuels associated mostly with corn based ethanol and soybean-based diesel, these developments provide an example of how state and federal policies can work successfully in tandem with private enterprise to create a new energy frontier in a region lacking in traditional fossil fuel energy resources and feedstocks. The Minnesota example also illustrates how substitution strategies differ from conservation initiatives and distinguishes the differences associated with electrical generation versus the dependency of fossil-based liquid fuels for the transportation sector of the U.S. economy, a situation replicated in Canada.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
