A brief synopsis of the report by the RMI, using five charts. Link to report at end. The EIA and other researchers have typically underestimated the change; like the graphs show, their graphs are more like straight line when they should be more like the exponential curves shown.

2023-09-19 Calif Sues Big Oil For Denying Climate Change
I live here in Southern California, and I hope and pray that California is successful. But I don’t think it will be called a victory. Looking at reality, Big Oil has, since finding out from their own scientists in the late ’70s, based their business on a deadly, unsustainable business model. And they’ve ignored the

2023-08-29 Study Calculates The Carbon Emissions Of Getting Rich
This PBS Newshour article explains what the effect is of the wealthy on carbon emissions. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/this-study-calculated-the-carbon-emissions-of-getting-rich
2023-08-28 Graphene Discovery Could Help Generate Hydrogen Cheaply And Sustainably
This sounds like it could revolutionize hydrogen electrolysis from water. Currently the electrolysis requires catalyst made of platinum which is rare and costly. “Graphene discovery could help generate hydrogen cheaply and sustainably.” ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 23 August 2023. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/08/230823122519.htm>.
2023-08-23 Research On Advanced Techniques And Materials For EUV Lithography
Iteresting interview with a UC Berkeley scientist on their research with EUV – extreme ultraviolet – and developing materials for EUV lithography. One should be aware that when the structures of the chip are under 10 nanometers, if you were standing there looking at the structures on a table, the silicon atoms are about a

2023-08-18 Wealthiest 10% Are Source Of 40% Of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Quote: “”The wealthiest tenth of U.S. households are the source of 40 percent of national greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published in the journal PLOS Climate.”” Quote: “”The wealthiest 1 percent of households were responsible for between 15 percent and 17 percent of emissions.”” https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4157562-us-climate-emissions-attributed-richest-households-study/ I started thinking about this and guessed that some

2023-08-18 Ferroelectric Memory Transistor Demonstrated
Several decades ago I read about these new Josephson devices that the scientists had invented, and how they would do wonderful things in the future. Here we are decades later and we hear nothing about Josephson devices. So here’s another interesting device, it uses indium selenide. It sounds promising but it may end up like

2023-08-16 Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, Electric Vehicle Debate Rages On
An article on how Toyota, Peter Coy of the New York Times, the anti-EVers such as Shellenberger and their backers spread FUD – fear, uncertainty, and doubt – and spread “one of the most blatantly misleading lines in the history of marketing.” Quote from article: “”Not to get too carried away here, but Harvard has

2023-08-15 Methane+Sunlight+ Catalyst = Emissions Free Hydrogen – Research
This sounds like it could be developed into a very important process. Methane + sunlight + boron nitride catalyst. The end products are hydrogen and just carbon – not CO2. So the carbon never enters the atmosphere, never becomes a greenhouse gas. Methane + Sunlight + Catalyst = Emissions-Free Hydrogen, Say UCF Researchers
2023-08-10 EVs: Will They Save Or Destroy Us? — Sabine H.
This video is a corrected version of the one about EVs from a few weeks earlier. Sabine said, “According to estimates by the non-profit organization American Action Network, by 2035 the costs for the upgrade [of the grid] in the US will reach approximately 2.5 Trillion dollars.” She also talks about overloading transformers and blowing
