We're currently draining our already too-empty water reservoirs so the government and big power companies can profit off of this crunch via the continental power cables that have gone online the last couple of years. I sure as gently caress am happy to live in an apartment with electric heating. Not.

One should always expect a little pushback when there's a massive shift towards action on an issue. Renewables is unfortunately no exception.

Are you suggesting that an inability to deliver on promised renewable deployment at the level needed to prevent the eradication of most species on earth through unfettered fossil fuel deployment is "a little pushback"?

I mean, I really wish there was more of a massive shift towards action on fighting climate change, lord knows we could use it. I'd hate for anyone to have a knee-jerk reaction against that.

No, this is the desired outcome and is why the fossil fuel industry aggressively pushes to shut down nuclear power. Replacing nuclear power with more fossil fuels is the intended end state.

There's a 1.4 GW, 450 mile long HVDC interconnector between Norway and England that's going through commissioning. Britain could really use that power right now. Week-ahead baseload for delivery next week was trading at about £230/MWh on Thursday. This is caused by both European gas prices being really high, and in part because the substation at Sellindge where the 2 GW IFA1 cable lands in England from France caught fire earlier this week. As a result, 1 GW of capacity will be offline for one month, the other 1 GW of the capacity will be offline for six months, and it currently looks like this:  This is not how it's supposed to look. It's meant to look like this:

Are the winds still abnormally calm there? I don't really follow wind power but there was more variation than I expected in its generation. Definitely isn't doing as well in 2021 as it was in 2020, and from what I've read the France - England cable won't be repaired until March 2022.

Definitely isn't doing as well in 2021 as it was in 2020, and from what I've read the France - England cable won't be repaired until March 2022. Yes, we’ve got wind running at less than 10% of nominal capacity right now, which isn’t helping matters. The last time I checked National Grid’s REMIT submission for IFA, there were saying an outage to mid-October on one cable and to 31st March 2022 on the other. The latter date is almost certainly a guess and was probably published in a massive rush to stop the regulator swooping in with a massive fine for misleading the market.

The clearest indication that natural gas isn't going anywhere is that through the last two decades cutting off the pipelines to Russia has never even been on table. Instead it's expansion.

Maybe, I don't recall the infrastructure plan mentioning carbon tax credits anywhere but that's possible. The point is that a green (or "green") electrical grid by 2035 is somewhat possible, but optimistic, whereas 2025 isn't

The payment program (CEPP) last I saw was essentially targeting 80% clean energy (excluding most CCUS and biomass) by 2030. 2025 is close enough that I am not sure it would be technically feasible even if you removed literally all political obstacles and applied the entire productive capacity of the economy towards clean energy.

Phanatic posted:https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1439046767622774785 Well, there is one way to get it done by 2025. Just shut it all down. Not a realistic approach, but definitely a possible solution. And if crazy poo poo like the Texas cold snap keeps happening with no repercussions to the companies that helped to cause it, a nationwide blackout is definitely a possibility. Because during that event it wasn’t just Texas that was having a bad time. MISO Energy (ISO for the center of the country) was having a really bad time, and I am pretty sure was one or two unit trips away from losing it all. I see the grid adjacent to them, and I had never seen transmission transfers like I did that day.

This is actually semi-meaningful because it reduces temperature inside buildings which means less AC required in the building, which means less power required.

Which is just a matter of white paint. We've known for a long time that painting roofs white reflects sunlight and if you're in a sunny environment that will keep the building cooler.
