To sustain life during times of scarcity, the body is thought to have developed the ability to utilize fat as an alternative fuel source.

Human brains, unique amongst animals, can use ketones as a major fuel source during prolonged starvation, allowing the conservation of protein such as skeletal muscle.

Ketogenic diets have gained popularity for a variety of health benefit claims, but scientists are still teasing out what happens during ketosis, when carbohydrate intake is so low that the body shifts from using glucose as the main fuel source to fat burning and producing ketones for energy.

In contrast to dietary fat, body fat stores are of tremendous importance during physical activity, as long as the intensity is not too high and there is adequate O2 delivery to use fat as a fuel source.

Whereas fat can store a lot of calories without requiring a lot, and comes in rather handy during excessive marathon - like distances — operating as the predominant fuel source when stored carbohydrate runs dry.

I'll get in a second to why this could be important for you if you're trying to boost your sports performance or to figure out what you're supposed to eat you know, during endurance but the other thing that was interesting was that there was another study that looked at basically how your body taps into this intramuscular triglyceride and it was found that the, when your body is tapping into intramuscular triglyceride sources, your intramuscular triglyceride pool to use that stuff as an energy source during exercise, it can actually cause a little bit of an insulin response and cause your pancreas to have to work a little bit, to churn out insulin in order for you to be able to effectively tap into this adipose tissue and so it's one of those things where there is a little bit of stress on the pancreas when you're tapping into these intramuscular triglycerides even though they're used as a really really potent source of fuel for you when you're out there performing specifically endurance exercise and in this case, for this fasted, male endurance athletes, 60 - 70 % intensity.

Solar can't produce electricity at night, but as we've seen in Germany and Australia it doesn't take a lot of solar capacity to start pushing down electricty prices during the day and that is very bad for the economics of nuclear power as it's a high capital cost, low fuel cost source of energy and reducing output during periods of low demand doesn't do much to reduce costs.

Underground storage tanks can also be an issue for older multifamily assets as they have a useful life of only 15 to 20 years, resulting in multiple generations of tanks that often lack proper closure reports when replaced or during conversion to an alternative fuel source.
