I've read two stories in recent days that suggested time's running too tight to take bold bets on climate tech ā€“ that we have to focus all our investments on things we know will work. And that's just fundamentally wrong, wrongheaded ā€“ & a terrible way for humans to ever think.

@Leigh_Phillips @GoodEnergyColl Unfortunately sexism still rears its ugly head in the nuclear industry way too often. Women are still being actively pushed out from erasure, from having their sexual harassment/assaults ignored or actively covered up, and more. Whisper networks still necessary. It's sad

I visited France's "Ministry of Ecological Transition" in 2017 and they told me that it was ok to close working nuclear plants because there was too much energy anyway. I noted that Fessenheim could power 3 million electric cars. "Oh, that's transportation policy not energy." https://t.co/9fM1NtUHpz

@doctorow -- Mon Sep 27 18:21:55 +0000 2021
This has an immediate effect: people who don't have houses can't afford them, and the people who do have houses vote for policies that make houses more valuable, including eroding tenants' rights. 4/
@doctorow -- Mon Sep 27 18:21:54 +0000 2021
Housing can't be both an essential speculative asset and a human right. If the way you provide a better life for your kids is to buy a house and wait for its value to go up, then you require one of the essentials of human existence to get MUCH more expensive. 3/

Concept: what if your community newspaper was re-centered around a community dashboard? It addresses the ADD aspect of news judgment. Rather than random stories every day, your community would instead track metrics over time, like $ saved or time working out. And improve them.
@balajis -- Tue Sep 28 14:56:38 +0000 2021
On a personal level: what do you *need* to know about and track over time? - Your health, blood glucose, physical fitness - Your income, burn rate, personal runway - Your progress towards long-term goals Not random infotainment. That's recreation. So: dashboards > newspapers.

@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil I honestly think we need to abandon the 1.5C. Itā€™s unrealistic outside of massive scale-up of CDR. Negative emissions tech later this century is essential for drawing down atmospheric CO2 in addition to zero emissions, but I donā€™t see it working to keep us below 1.5 any time soon
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:55:52 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil I absolutely agree that hydro is not globally scalable (and land-intensive), and would far prefer nukes. Iā€™m only noting that hydro is firm and so far more easily integratable than variable renewables.

@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil We should lift the rest of the world up, not limit what western workers can do. Every peasant a lord, not every lord a peasant.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:52:05 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Only 18% of the global population live in OECD nations. Most of these people are workers, many of which have the ability to fly every once in a while. So that 3% includes a large chunk of the western working class. Youā€™re categorizing western workers as ā€œrichā€.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:39:26 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil To achieve passivhaus certification, a given design has to limit the number of days of overheating to within a given %. As the climate warms, that will inevitably increase in most locations. But clean fuels plus AC guarantees no overheating while also hitting zero GHGs.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:34:56 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil This is juvenile, and really does expose how anti-working class and explicitly anti-socialist the green movement is.

@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:31:35 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil There are other pathways to decarbonizing heating that produce higher paid, high-skilled, permanent rather than temporary, jobs. Hydro and nuclear dominant grids have far lower energy bills. Nuke/geothermal heat also eliminates indoor air pollution, and with still lower emissions
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:25:55 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil And iā€™m not opposed to passivhauses if thatā€™s what you want to do. You do you. Iā€™m just saying it focuses on the wrong metric: reducing energy demand, which has limited political salability, instead of reducing emissions, which is already hard enough as it is.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:23:54 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil You do realize that as the climate warms, the days of overheating in passivhauses will steadily uptick. Sweden, w a relatively cooler ambient temp makes it more feasible, but it still faces this same challenge. One Heat Dome and youā€™ll get seniors and infants dropping like flies
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:19:25 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil One is a politics of eco-austerity, which is politically salable to only the most ascetic voters (and asks to cut the living standards of workers even further, so socially unjust); while the other is a politics of industrial policy, economic planning and delivering luxury to all.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:17:08 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Take heating: if you go passivhaus, you reduce energy demand rather than fuel switch, but it results in more days of overheating and few are willing to suffer that, so politically itā€™s less feasible than, say, using neighbourhood nuclear heat, geothermal or even straight electric
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:13:23 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil You are basing your analysis on the assumption that reducing energy consumption makes it easier to decarbonize (because there is less to decarbonize). This is false. You are not factoring in the (understandable) political opposition that it will produce.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:06:42 +0000 2021

@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil I donā€™t think many enviros quite understand how colossal the amount of new, clean electricity generating capacity we will need. Letā€™s be as efficient as possible, to be sure, but thereā€™s no getting around the vast scale of buildout.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 22:03:13 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil In British Columbia (where I live, w/98% clean electricity thanks to hydro), to electrify road transport alone (atop pop and econ growth), weā€™ll need to *double* generation. Whichever sector you consider, weā€™ll need a LOT more electricity.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 21:51:18 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Put all your effort into easing the constraints on building out sufficient generation, rather than accepting the current constraints. First and foremost by stopping only speaking of renewables and not clean energy. Not at renewables are clean and not all clean energy is renewable

@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil As usual, there is this middle class view of workers that only the poorest are of concern. Let me ask you something else: why worry about an increase in energy generation if it is clean? Why not spend your time like me instead trying to build out all the reactors etc we need?
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 21:01:46 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Lovely, condescending view of workers, thinking that they never might like to take a foreign tropical holiday and only need buses and properly insulated homes.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:57:06 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil We have those taxes already, so there is no additional burden, but yes, of course ultimately all flat taxes should be replaced by progressive taxation. The villainy of flat taxes is socialist ABCs.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:45:40 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil That would still result in unequal burden sharing both by those less well off for whom flights become more unaffordable and by aviation workers for whom there is less work. It is profoundly politically regressive and actively sabotages real efforts to decarbonize.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:42:17 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Go and speak to actual aviation and shipping workers and ask them what they think flying and shipping less means for their jobs.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:36:30 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil It will be much more effective as a decarbonization strategy and ensuring a Just Transition, but sadly it does offer fewer opportunities for middle-class virtue signalling.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:35:25 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil How about we work *with* aviation workers to expand high paid, unionized jobs in their sector through the additional requirements of clean aviation, instead of sitting on our middle-class arses tutting at those who would dare to take a holiday to Spain every once in a while?
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:33:32 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil While you are throwing aviation workers under the bus, creating a new set of voters actively opposing decarbonization, youā€™re wasting time you could spend pushing for industrial policy to take e-fuels to market and to build the reactors etc required to service their energy needs.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:31:44 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Too much energy for what? If we need more energy, letā€™s build the generation required.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:28:12 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil There are many processes that are energy intensive, but if the energy used is clean, this simply doesnā€™t matter. Youā€™ve got the wrong end of the stick: itā€™s emissions we want to reduce, not energy. Efficiency aside, ever more and cheaper energy is a *good* thing for humanity.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:24:40 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil We donā€™t say: oh, this sector is really hard to decarbonize, so letā€™s switch it off. Agriculture is also *really* hard to decarbonize. But we are not going to shut agriculture off.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:23:24 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil While there are some sustainable biomass sources, they are not sustainably scalable. Yes electrofuels are v energy intensive, but there are some sectors of the economy that cannot easily be electrifiedso we need to get on developing the pathways to clean fuel development pronto
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:19:43 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil Only a shift to clean aviation and shipping will eliminate the GHGs from heavy transport; a mere reduction in aviation and shipping with no fuel-switching would still keep adding CO2eq to the atmosphere (leaving aside the colossal socioeconomic fallout from such Luddism).
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:15:45 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil You said end aviation as we know it. If you are merely talking about a reduction, then this suffers from the common misunderstanding that we only need to reduce our GHGs. In fact, we need to eliminate them entirely.

@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:07:18 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil If your critique is that we arenā€™t building out clean generation fast enough, I agree, but then the solution is to fight for more and faster build, not to call for the end of aviation and shipping.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:04:29 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil *generating capacity I mean, not just grid. Advanced heat sources such as nukes and next gen geothermal would count as generation but arenā€™t necessarily part of a grid.
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 20:01:56 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil We will likely be needing to develop electrofuels for long-haul shipping (outside of expensive nuclƩarisation of the shipping fleet). Are you calling for an end to shipping too?
@Leigh_Phillips -- Mon Sep 27 19:59:49 +0000 2021
@Green_Sky_Think @Murali_Thoppil This is getting the sums backwards. You start with how much electricity demand there would be to get to net zero (electrifying as much as possible and developing electrofuels and high quality high temp heat for the rest), and then build out the grid to match that.

I'll write more about what's happening in the US natural gas market later, but my quick take is that this is a functioning market at work: The US remains wells supplied and these natural gas prices signal to operators to come off the sidelines & ready new supplies for the winter.

There is a lot of discussion right now about expensive natural gas in the US. While higher gas prices could ultimately help reduce emissions and encourage fuel switching, in the near-term it will result in a lot more idle coal capacity coming back online: https://t.co/KhXBs9bOQR https://t.co/gWNIhGaafa

@nebulousmenace @StanfordEnergy 1) a decline in Li-ion efficiency would mean slightly higher cost of renewables+batteries (ReB) cases but our fixed o&m costs for batteries include periodic cell replacement so that may already account for the effect you are mentioning.
@JesseJenkins -- Tue Sep 28 13:06:40 +0000 2021

If booster doses could be whisked over to unvaccinated people I would send them in a heartbeat. If they canā€™t they should be used here. The immunology and short-term clinical data show value. Iā€™m scratching my head at the people trashing them. Uptake will magnify the benefits.

To be clear, this might not matter if the demand for H2 exceeds green H2 production capacities (there's only so much integrated RE-electrolysis you can build). And with the gas prices that Asia & Europe are willing top pay (>$20), perhaps $5 blue H2 will find its niche.
@arvindpawan1 -- Mon Sep 27 18:38:13 +0000 2021
Even if you can address the #methane leakage issue with natural gas (most likely, yes), success of blue H2 will largely rest on the cheap availability of gas (~$2-3). Key question is: will the low gas prices of the past 5 years last or are we in a new world of $4+ gas? https://t.co/8V0U0eShYe

@GabeFilippelli @Prof_FSultana @brendanshanahan @alwaystheself @profjoshlong @TheTattooedProf @historianess @PaigeWestNYC I shouldā€™ve added that, in IUBā€™s College of Arts and Sciences, this is one of the few ways to have funds added to faculty research accounts and those are super valuable because thereā€™s no standardized funding for travel, professional development, etc.

Ok, some orgs make more sense to support for their work in & with communities. There is also a need to shift power & priorities in other orgs. A good Q1: is the org naming the source of harm or the desired policy change? Q2 : what are their goals, strategies for reaching them
@indianaclimate -- Tue Sep 28 12:19:35 +0000 2021
@GabeFilippelli @Prof_FSultana That used to be the case, but fortunately has changed in the last few years. Itā€™s also a small percentage, but it makes a big difference. And startup funds donā€™t expire so people can use those for a long time.

@HyperHydr0 Agreed, weights are problematic for precipitation (though multimodel means are not great there either, weighted or unweighted).

We are setting the stage for a lot of confusion given differences in the future warming projections in the IPCC AR6 and the latest generation of models (CMIP6).

@PeterWSinclair Thats a good question (@RichardMeyerDC would know more). I suspect current high prices are a combination of high demand (hot summer) plus lower production due to declines in associated gas production from unconventional oil (due to lasting COVID recession impacts), but not sure.
@hausfath -- Mon Sep 27 20:18:09 +0000 2021
@SizeMichael In the US we have a ton of coal plants operating at 40% capacity factors, so its mostly those that switch on when gas gets expensive (as renewables are already used if available given their near-zero marginal costs).

The bipartisan infrastructure bill would be a huge win for progressivism. It would get rid of lead water pipes in America. It would pour $105 billion into trains and transit. It would prove that big government is good for the economy. TAKE THE W. https://t.co/elVn2haNL8

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:02:51 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey Yes, because I don't actually know how to threaten them. I assume there are threats. I just know this isn't one. This isn't a threat. So let's not tell ourselves it is.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 06:01:59 +0000 2021
@Theophite Manchin and Sinema will take no heat if progressives vote down a bill that Manchin and Sinema voted for. So blowing up that bill is simply not a credible threat.

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:58:24 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey The answer is no, of course. So the question becomes how to credibly threaten them. And blowing up infra just isn't any kind of a threat to them. So use the threats we do have.

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:31:44 +0000 2021
Anyway, killing infrastructure will not hurt Manchin; he voted FOR the bill. Threatening to kill the bill will not compel Manchin to support reconciliation; other means of compulsion must be found. Vote for the infra bill because it's good, and because it's progressive. (end)

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:28:29 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey They voted for the infra bill. If it dies they won't take the heat; they voted for it. The complex idea that its survival hinged on a deal about the reconciliation bill will not make it into the heads of American voters; it's far too complex.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:27:30 +0000 2021

@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:25:37 +0000 2021
@ImNotOwned @Taara535 Why are people acting like this is an alternative to the reconciliation bill? The idea that killing this bill will hurt Manchin in any way is fantasy.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:18:20 +0000 2021
@JimJamison84 Days or weeks are fine. But if that turns into months, it saps Biden's momentum, and that will be bad. Most worryingly, if Manchin calls progressives' bluff, and they actually vote DOWN the bill, that's a disaster.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:16:47 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey It's not fine; Manchin and Sinema are horrible. But can they be compelled by threatening the infra bill? If it goes down, they don't take any heat. They were fine not passing infra in 2019, and 2018, and 2017, etc. They'll be fine. This is not leverage.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:03:39 +0000 2021
@TheOmniZaddy I mean of course they need to do this, but threatening the infra bill is pointless; if it fails, Manchin and Sinema won't take the blame for its failure. So there's no leverage there. Instead, simply put them in the spotlight as the obstructionists they are.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:36 +0000 2021
@puremalarkey There's no goddamn leverage there. If the infrastructure bill fails, Manchin and Sinema won't be blamed; they voted for it.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 05:02:09 +0000 2021
@TWOMARD @BrandyFromTX Whether the infra bill passes will have no effect on their votes, unfortunately. If it fails to pass they won't take the blame.

People in an Era of Unrest don't like being told how ridiculous so many of the people and ideas and movements and actions of that era will look in retrospect. So come see me in a decade and we'll talk again. (end)
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 01:05:31 +0000 2021
But like I said, we're not ready for this conversation yet. We're not yet out of the Era of Unrest, even if I'm right in my prediction that we've seen the peak. https://t.co/v16zMHpo5r
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 01:03:50 +0000 2021
Maybe in 5 years, maybe in 15, we're going to look back and see very clearly that a lot of the prominent figures from this period were attention seekers, outrage entrepreneurs, or just riled-up people who didn't really know why they were riled up. https://t.co/JPpF6uNozA
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 01:01:57 +0000 2021
For many, only by insisting to themselves that everyone has a very clear ideological side in a very clear ideological battle (instead of just acting out) can they convince themselves that their own activism, their own hatreds, their own imagined acts of violence mean something.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 00:58:56 +0000 2021
But we're not ready for that conversation, because we're still in the era of unrest, and so we still have to justify our own agitation to ourselves by telling ourselves that everyone has a very strict ideology.
@Noahpinion -- Tue Sep 28 00:57:36 +0000 2021
What we're eventually going to realize is that 2014-whenever was a period of unrest, where a lot of people felt that they needed to make dramatic demonstrations and take dramatic actions, but not all of those people really knew what they wanted.
