Thats sounding a lot more like what I remembered

Got sources for an AMOC shutdown happening in the past few thousand years?

They’re mostly not set up as a backup system, but to time-shift wind and solar so that it isnt necessary to use more expensive fossil fuel generation. For example, here is what utility-scale battery use looked like on Dec 5 in California

Not really; there are real reasons people don’t want large-scale storage near populated areas, and it’s more expensive than avoiding the need for long-duration storage, and burning it (if you don’t store the oxygen, which raises costs even more) produces lung-damage nitrogen oxides. So there’s a lot of reasons to minimize the need for hydrogen as much as possible.

Depends a lot on where. Places with a lot of both wind and solar need a lot less than those with only one, or with big seasonal heating needs. Way more to say about this than can fit in a comment

You do need some amount of long-duration storage, with the amount depending on how generation diversity and how much clean firm generation you have, but we are still in the early stages of it.

People are going with batteries and demand-shifting first because they’re more cost-effective when it comes to dealing with a few hours of storage. Hydrogen storage is mostly a contender for longer-durarion storage

What’s new is the closed-loop horizontal drilling in places where geothermal was not possible before

That “or” is fairly surprising to me; its fairly easy to use waste heat from electric generation for district heat. Id expect some modest reduction, but not a total trade-off

It’s not new, but the spending by the richest has gotten to be a much much larger fraction of the total in recent years

This lets them alter the rules of society so that things aren’t just a little tilted in their favor, but are enormously so.

This is California, so likely forever

A huge amount of extra CO₂ showed up. We don’t have a definitive answer as to where from.

Titles are a problem; they’re all that almost everybody sees — click-through rates to articles are around 2.5% of the headline view rates. I try to increase that by using gift links and archived copies of articles; but that has a fairly limited impact on peoples’ willingness to click in the first place.

Actually understanding means doing more than reading the headline, and that makes it very hard to get information across.

Yes, but they don’t scale to anything like the amount of CO2 people are adding to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. In practice, this means having to phase out fossil fuels faster

Get flock banned at a local level.

Get to protests on a bicycle or a bus. Carpool if you must.

More that the structure of the legislation — where many of the benefits weren’t immediate — made it easier for Republicans to win elections.

They need to not have any kind of power or authority. Training and supervision won’t do it when the agency is filled with violent racisfs

Warmer temperatures got ice melting. This raised sea level a bit, and increased the rate of erosion

This has to seriously mess up the kid

Probably pretty big. There was a lot of digital media, and a lot of references to Trump that the FBI is redacting.

Theyre horribly afraid an authentic video of him being the bottom while having sex eith Clinton will emerge
