Dems have been fighting greed, pollution, because they hate Dems dying. PS, my guess is bigger bird populations in spite of renewables are the results regulations that need further tightening.

Boat + 1,324 RG September 9, 2022 (edited) https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/combinedwindandsolar This shows the great job wind and solar do today on the ERCOT Grid today. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards This series of charts shows the potential if enough wind, solar and batteries would last for 12 hrs. Matching the base load at night should be the goal. Musk will be offering a 2hr and 4 hr battery pack from his new plant in Calif. the work is not done. Seems we need a 12 hr pack in my view.

The US will be over 50% non fossil fuels in electric power generation by the end of 2027 US solar market 'will grow by 62GW in five years' 88 September 2022 05:00r 2022 05:00 The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will help the US solar market grow 40% over baseline projections by 2027, equal to 62GW of additional solar capacity, according to new forecasts in the US Solar Market Insight Q3 2022 report. Published by Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, the utility-scale sector will lead the solar industry’s growth over the next five years with 162GW of new capacity. Cumulative solar installations across all market segments will nearly triple in size, growing from 129GW today to 336GW by 2027. SEIA president and chief executive Abigail Ross Hopper said: "This report provides an early look at how the Inflation Reduction Act is going to transform America’s energy economy, and the forecasts show a wave of clean energy and manufacturing investments that will uplift communities nationwide. "With this incredible opportunity comes a responsibility to clearly address concerns over forced labor and ensure that we have ethical supply chains throughout the world."Despite a rosy outlook for the next five years, solar installation forecasts for 2022 have dropped to 15.7GW, the market’s lowest total since 2019, due primarily to a Commerce Department tariff investigation. In June, the White House paused new solar tariffs for two years, providing some relief to the market. However, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) went into effect on June 21 and has resulted in detentions of solar modules, exacerbating ongoing supply chain challenges.The report finds that the UFLPA could limit solar deployment through 2023 due to module availability constraints, delaying the near-term effectiveness of the IRA to 2024 and beyond. Principal analyst at Wood MacKenzie and lead author of the report Michelle Davis said: "The Inflation Reduction Act has given the solar industry the most long-term certainty it has ever had. "Ten years of investment tax credits stands in stark contrast to the one-, two-, or five-year extensions that the industry has experienced in the last decade. "It’s not an overstatement to say that the IRA will lead to a new era for the U.S. solar industry."Demand for rooftop solar is at historic highs in the face of power outages and increasing electricity prices. The residential solar segment set a record for the fifth consecutive quarter with nearly 180,000 American households installing solar in Q2. The IRA will drive an additional 7.3GW of residential solar capacity over the next five years, and the new standalone storage tax credit across all market segments is expected to improve grid reliability.Even as supply chain constraints slowed the market, solar accounted for 39% of all new electric generating capacity additions in the first half of 2022. The US solar market now represents about 4.5% of the nation’s electricity mix. That is only a marginal change, restricted to the electricity sector.

Ecocharger + 1,474 DL September 10, 2022 (edited) A small but hopeful ray of intelligent thought on the horizon, Britain's new Prime Minister is heeding the numbers which call for a more rational energy policy and energy philosophy going forward. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Power-Shortages-Loom-Over-Europe.html "The new UK government of Liz Truss might become one of the most pro-oil ones globally as she announced the opening up of some 130 license blocks in the North Sea as well as the controversial lifting of the ban on hydraulic fracturing in the country. The previous government of Boris Johnson suspended licensing activities in 2020 as the UK took on ambitious climate goals, whilst the ban on fracking was introduced in 2019 amid opposition from environmentalists. UK North Sea oil output has been declining for years and is currently at some 900,000 b/d (equivalent to 82% of its needs), in contrast to rising production in Norway’s offshore zone. Attesting to the weak drilling activity, there were only 5 exploration wells drilled in the UK in 2021, a record low, with a similar number expected this year, according to OEUK data."

The growth in ICE each year has to be offset by subtracting all the ICE cars that retired. Oh and most of their trains are electric. Retirement rates are negligible. So, according to your source, the trade volume of used cars, which are 100% fossil fuel vehicles, presumably excluding trucks, was 3.85 million in 2010, which means presumably officially registered sales. That seems like a very tiny number for China, so I guess it does not include the vast majority of used car sales. And in 2021 there were 17.59 officially registered used car sales, about a 457% increase in about ten years, a huge growth rate. Usually in every other country, used vehicle sales are three times the new vehicle sales. China is probably the same. So we have for China 70% of new car sales are fossil fuel 100% of used car sales are fossil fuel 100% of new truck sales are fossil fuel 100% of used truck sales are fossil fuels 100% of new highway bus sales are fossil fuel 100% of used highway bus sales are fossil fuel 100% of new freight train engine sales are fossil fuel 100% of used freight train engine sales are fossil fuel 100% of new work vehicle sales are fossil fuel 100% of used work vehicle sales are fossil fuel 100% of new airplane sales are fossil fuel 100% of used airplane sales are fossil fuel Altogether fossil fuel transportation by value would be well over 99% of the sales markets.
