Low carbon aficionado. I help the nuke sales people (and deniers) out when they make boo boos (they make a lot of boo boos).

Good morning with good news: Wind, solar & batteries will be 94% & nuclear 2% of US new grid capacity additions in 2024.
Gas plunges to 4% (2.5 GW) of new capacity, down from 21% in 2020, to its lowest level in 25 years!
Batteries jump to 23% (14 GW)!

Climate damages are '6X LARGER than previously thought', says new NBER working paper
– every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP
– every tonne of CO2 causes >$1,000 of damages
Gernot Wagner tells me: 'Assuming nobody finds a flaw in this paper, it is going to truly change things'
Good morning with good news: Wind & solar generated 45% of Texas's electricity in April 2024. Wow!
Nuclear produced 8%, making zero-CO2 power 53%!
Wind & solar generated more than gas. Solar produced ~12% and more than coal. Wonderful!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: President Biden is the most progressive president on domestic economic policy that we have ever had. Last night in his interview, he showed us that once again.
Let’s run through some of the major things that he and Democrats have accomplished.🧵
Brian Gitt No. Your graph does not include savings, only new spending, theoretically required based on models and many assumptions.
Does not include what would have been spent on fossils continuing business as usual.
This graph from the same report does compare 'avoided costs' compared
Incredible: In just April, 2,382 MW of solar & 1,215 MW of battery energy storage began operations on the ERCOT grid. Credit Doug Lewin
He also says another ~26,000 MW of solar & ~11,000 MW of batteries are in final stage of development.
Texas adds incredibly capacity!
Amazing reduction in April fossil gas use on California's grid in just one year!
Due to increase in utility PV (increasing supply), rooftop PV (decreasing demand) and batteries (shifting PV supply from day to night)
Grid Status
Pendulum Flow Doing just fine.
“Several [15] coal-fired power plants that were still on the grid as a precautionary measure over the last two years are therefore now superfluous and can be taken off the grid for good.”
