And lots of whales are dead in the water too. And all for nothing, so far.
Manhattan Contrarian ping.
Meanwhile Germany has reopened two coal fired power plants.
Plus you have an administration that's causing those prices to increase and will continue to do so until they're thrown out.
Your using the old out dated term ....
Please use the new approved term .... “electric vehicle charging facility”
thank you for your cooperation.
Well Germany may be using coal to power their cars, but CA is using diesel fuel to power their air conditioners ( and keep their electric cars running).
check out “Wind Speed (kts)” over at:
https://digital.mdl.nws.noaa.gov/
Wind is too variable both in speed and location.
Oh come on. Next you are going to say there is no such thing as a unicorn.
Maybe they’d be better off using unicorn farts and rainbow energy waves.
” CA is using diesel fuel “
Wait ... I thought diesel fuel was red..... not green.
Have we changed the color sides again?
Do I live in a green state now?
Are we doing a blue new deal for climate change?
I give up ....
“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)
low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”
“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”
“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”
The Republicans had two years in DC (2017,2018) to clean up the US Code so the US people would not get stomped on.
Imagine what your future electric bills are going to look like.
Because what the communists love is rationing.
Bkmk
The Carbon Capture mandates are written by people with no understanding of the laws of thermodynamics.
They have the power and will get those laws repealed by the Legislature.
I think all alternative energy plans must go through a vetting process which includes business cases, costs, risks, mitigation strategies, schedule, finances of companies, partners, and scientific proof which is vetted by experts who do not receive any grants or other payments from the government.
Let the people who will be paying for this see everything.
they are supposed to go through that process, but obviously stuff is just being rubber stamped. There’s just no way any of it makes fiscal or environmental sense.
This is what happens when you vote to repeal the law of gravity.
In essence, this is what the NY lawmakers did. They voted for the impossible. Everyone will pay the price. Not just people in New York, because New York will insist on being bailed out by the Federal government.
As Ayn Rand supposedly said: You can ignore reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of ignoring reality.
