markslawson + 1,042 ML October 28, 2020 We've all seen bizarre suggestions concerning hydrogen, electric cars, renewable energy and so on. I thought we might compile a few of them. For me the top two picks would have to be .. 1 - After a period of rolling blackouts in California, Governor Newsom does not declare the state will fix the problem by building or encouraging more firm power generation. Instead he declares that the state will put an already struggling grid under more pressure by pledging to ban petrol car sales in the state by 2035 - effectively boosting electric car sales. This is just a token, of course. In 15 years, Newsom will be a memory, and his policy announcement forgotten. If it ever was implemented, the only important result of the policy would be to kill off the new car market in California. Those who want petrol cars will turn to the used car market or go across the state border to buy. However, the symbolism is entertaining. Never mind reality, let's make a policy statement that will make our nutty supporter base happy. 2 - Hydrogen making project. The Asian Renewable Energy Project, a consortium of companies in the renewable energy field, proposes dropping around $A30 billion ($US21.3 billion) building a heap of renewable energy projects in North Western Australia and to ship the energy out stored in hydrogen. Never mind that using hydrogen for that purpose is not a commercial proposition as of yet, or that the project is literally in the middle of no where. The designated area is between the towns of Port Hedland and Broome which have permanent populations of about 14,000 each - by far the largest towns in the region - and by between, I don't mean a polite 15 minute drive or so.. I'm talking about hours of driving. Port Hedland in turn is about two hours flying time North of the state capital Perth (2.1 million). To get the energy out transmission lines just aren't going to cut it, so maybe they could transmit the power to Eighty Mile Beach, which is a caravan park for those who want to visit a wetlands of international importance (oh no!). I would call it a swamp with a few birdies, but there are those who would disagree. The project map seems to indicate that they want to build a port in this environmentally sensitive area for pumping hydrogen into ships. Its not likely anyone's going to object, right? Then there is the little matter of finding customers for this hydrogen. Supporters say that the H2 can be injected into natural gas up to about 3 per cent of the mix, although there is still the little matter of why anyone would want to mix expensive H2 with cheap gas for a small reduction in emissions.. Any other suggestions? 4 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boat + 1,315 RG October 28, 2020 In a more practical sense the fact that around 50% of Americans make less than $30,000 will be a bigger problem going to EV’s. I have yet to read of an electric car that will transport a family of four for less than 10,000 which is what many of these folks drive. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When these mandates become due I don’t think the numbers of will be there even if the demand is. One case the Dems just didn’t think it through.

Jay McKinsey + 1,489 October 28, 2020 The US state of New York is considering joining California by launching their own phase-out of gas-fueled vehicles by 2035. This is what state senator Pete Harckham hopes to achieve with legislation S.9008 to amend the state Environmental Conservation Law. Vehicles affected by the gas phase-out in 2035 would include cars and trucks, as well as off-road vehicles and equipment. An additional deadline would be set for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles to be banned from sales by 2045. https://www.electrive.com/2020/10/12/new-york-state-considers-combustion-vehicle-ban-in-2035/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many issues involved that are neither climate change nor economic. Israel stands out as needing relief from terrible smog. Same for Cal's LA basin.

EU is trying to extract itself from a geopolitical hole of being stuck with the need to get energy from Russia or the US/Gulf states or Gulf oil with their own navies (mostly on the drawing board) for security. They are trying to create a recycling economy so that with renewable energy and recycled metals they can afford not to have imperial navies, nor be beholden for the US or Russia, as the US is not willing to protect EU shipping for free forever. It was clear way before Trump, as soon as Germany unified. UK went both ways and did build a navy. Costa Rica is sunny and it is economical to go EV+solar+batteries. Other countries face the same geopolitical issue as the EU and are doing the same, but may be less willing to accept the reality. China is one that is calculating EVs powered by coal vs. paying US to protect its oil. Or becoming more beholden to Russia and its energy as political tool unreliability. The basic US demand from EU and others is a tilt of the mercantile table in favor of the US (e.g. if you have a 25% VAT than the US will have a 25% tariff.) or face surcharge payments on their trade in and out of Europe. Europeans are well aware that without artificial impediments to industry and finance, US would easily end up as it did in 1950 with 80% of the world's gold. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be phased in: But just 10 years from now, half of all new trucks and vans sold in California in classes 4 through 8—which includes everything from the package delivery van to the biggest garbage trucks—will have to be ZEVs. And by 2035, CARB says that 55 percent of all class 2b-3 trucks, 75 percent of all class 4 through 6 trucks and vans, and 40 percent of all class 7 and 8 trucks and tractors sold in the state have to be ZEVs.
