CT article says the CCS – carbon capture and storage – would have been better spent on solar and wind. https://cleantechnica.com/2019/04/21/carbon-captures-global-investment-would-have-been-better-spent-on-wind-solar/ Most of the CCS CO2 is being pumped back into the ground to do EOR – enhanced oil recovery. So the CCS is actually causing more fossil fuels to be recovered and burned and

The absurdity is overwhelming. https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/hydrogen/the-hydrogen-hype-bubble-may-have-finally-popped/ Quote: << Of course, green hydrogen’s current lack of availability isn’t the only reason it’s not the wonder-fuel the fossil fuel industry has been making it out to be, considering the following: … >> How can its “lack of availability” prevent it from being a wonder fuel? The problem today

This article tells about many drawbacks of hydrogen: gray, blue and green hydrogen. They claim that << Combusting green hydrogen in power plants jeopardizes public health and delays climate action >> because it produce nitrogen oxides. But so do burning fossil fuels. They bring up that steel pipes are made brittle by hydrogen at high

This is shameful. 60% of the 44 gas wells ware leaking methane into the air. This Diversified Energy owns tens of thousands of dying wells that are polluting the environment and spewing greenhouse gases. And they’re still trying to acquire more. 15 min. video. https://youtu.be/6c-WCg2Y7sE
According to the EIA, renewables will be the leading source of US electricity by 2030. The EIA says 42%, but they have been too conservative in their estimates in the past. We (the whole world) must be much farther away from fossil fuels by 2030, especially coal. Coal power plants must be gone as soon

Sabine explains the difference between nuclear fusion reaction’s Qplasma and Qtotal. There is a huge difference between the two. To put out more power than is needed to keep the reactor running, the output of the fusion reaction must be greater than Qtotal. At the rate the experiments are progressing, it will be many decades

Zaelke said, “Cutting methane is the single biggest and fastest way to slow warming in the next 2 decades.” https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/17/us-and-eu-pledge-30-cut-in-methane-emissions-to-limit-global-heating
This article is about whether or not to divest from fossil fuel companies. It talks about Harvard divesting and about CalPERS deciding to do otherwise. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/14/fossil-fuel-divestment-harvard-oil-exxon-shell
At 13:00 Dave talked about how problematic green hydrogen is, and at 13:30 he said why not just use the electricity directly for the home. Herein is the whole problem: the solar and wind electricity is generated at times when it is not needed and not generated when it is needed. So we still have
