Carbon emissions are dropping—fast—in Europe. Thanks to a price mechanism that actually works economist.com/europe/2024/04…
@AkshatRathi @GriffithSaul Indeed. ~40% of all cargo carried by international shipping is fossil fuels: coal, oil, and, increasingly, LNG. Shipping consumes ~5% of global oil consumption & emits ~1.05 billion tons CO2/y. So 2% of all global oil consumption is used for international shipping of fossil…
ESB Networks announced this week there is now more than 1GW of electricity #storage in the Republic of Ireland: 731.5MW of grid-scale #batteries and 291MW of pumped hydro. We made a map of showing all large-scale batteries' capacity and duration across the island: 931.5MW/987MWh.

Oh, wow. US Clean Energy Manufacturing grants include $255.6 million for Highland Materials to set up a 20,000 ton/year polysilicon plant. - First greenfield polysilicon plant announced outside China for years - who tf is Highland Materials? energy.gov/articles/biden…
Lots of fascinating numbers. Mindblowing to me how generous the US incentives are. And while China is obviously low cost, commercial solar in Europe is more like that in China than in the US (ie reasonably priced and using newest tech).

The deeply weird thing about this tweet is how I keep getting suspiciously botlike like/repost notifications on it. I'm not complaining and I know some of you aren't bots but... why? Some "looking credibly dry and scientific after hitting a certain activity threshold" thing?

Nerdy grid question: CAISO hit a record on 4/27 with batteries being their largest source of electricity (28% for a short time!). However, generation peaked at ~6GW, yet I see that CA has 25GW on the grid, why were we still burning gas and importing elec? gridstatus.io/live/caiso?dat…
@J_Lovering 3 things I’ve heard asking the same question on past spring days: Some gas is cogen and runs all the time for heat, some is in a local pocket where grid operators are worried about stability without it, some are older inflexible units that ramp slow & expected to be needed later
@duncan__c x.com/johnsmillie42/… Between this, agrivoltaics, and the fact that I've read interviews with farmers in Jasper County and Stark County and they say "This isn't my best land" and "it's mostly going to ethanol now anyway", I'm not worried about it.
A fun fact about reducing power plant pollution is that it improves crop yields by anywhere from 1.6% to 7% in real-world data, and up to 15% for corn in some models. So even if closing the coal plant means using 2% of the downwind cropland for solar, you come out ahead.
Down to remove the subsides for both solar and farming and see how it shakes out?
As solar capacity grows, some of America's most productive farmland is at risk The solar industry is pushing into the U.S. Midwest, drawn by cheaper land rents, access to electric transmission, and a wealth of federal and state incentives. The region also has what solar needs:…

I’m always a bit baffled when things like this become scandals like, I eat meat, so I’m not trying to claim a moral high ground here, but getting up in arms about someone killing animals before buying pork at your local supermarket feels odd dogs play a strange cultural role
We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years. If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping,…
related: I like dogs now, but as a kid my primary salient experience with them was going into my back yard and seeing the corpses of our pet chickens strewn across our lawn this happened multiple times and perhaps plays into me feeling less sympathetic to this dog in particular
this is a bit right? PA taking the piss

@AkshatRathi @GriffithSaul Indeed. ~40% of all cargo carried by international shipping is fossil fuels: coal, oil, and, increasingly, LNG. Shipping consumes ~5% of global oil consumption & emits ~1.05 billion tons CO2/y. So 2% of all global oil consumption is used for international shipping of fossil…
The sheer amount of energy needed to mine, refine, and transport fossil fuels is astounding. For example, 1% of total US energy consumption is down to merely the transport of natural gas, per @GriffithSaul. That's more energy than needed to get US children to school and back.
