Ecocharger + 1,382 DL April 15 (edited) 5 hours ago, Jeroen Goudswaard said: € 580 bn over a period of 7 years is a miniscule € 171 p.p.p.a. If that would be the cost of net zero, we would not need to worry. That's about what the average European spends on healthcare (through taxes and insurance) every 18 days. I would expect to a spend of at least 1 year of GDP (about € 20 Tn) to really make a dent in reducing emissions. But anyway: Note that the cost of importing oil & gas to the EU is about € 500 bn per year. That's the opportunity the EU deals with. If the invested € 580 bn would reduce oil & gas consumption by only 20%, it would be a ridiculously interesting net positive investment within 6 years. With an expected lifetime of the constructed infrastructure of 25 years it would have a ROI of over 3. Except for the problem that moving to EVs actually increases the CO2 atmospheric content, which makes that policy extremely foolish and self-defeating.

Lets talk powergen in the USA for 2023 shall we? In 2023, about 4,178 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or about 4.18 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States.1 About 60% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases. About 19% was from nuclear energy, and about 21% was from renewable energy sources. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that an additional 73.62 billion kWh of electricity generation was from small-scale solar photovoltaic systems in 2023.2 U.S. utility-scale electricity generation by source, amount, and share of total in 2023 Energy source Billion kWh Share of total Total - all sources 4,178 Fossil fuels (total) 2,505 60.0% Natural gas 1,802 43.1% Coal 675 16.2% Petroleum (total) 16 0.4% Petroleum liquids 12 0.3% Petroleum coke 5 0.1% Other gases3 11 0.3% Nuclear 775 18.6% Renewables (total) 894 21.4% Wind 425 10.2% Hydropower 240 5.7% Solar (total) 165 3.9% Photovoltaic 162 3.9% Solar thermal 3 0.1% Biomass (total) 47 1.1% Wood 31 0.8% Landfill gas 8 0.2% Municipal solid waste (biogenic) 6 0.1% Other biomass waste 2 0.1% Geothermal 16 0.4% Pumped storage hydropower4 -6 -0.1% Other sources5 10 0.2% And then oh my Lord look at the decimation of coal fired powergen The average share of electricity generated from coal in the US has dropped from 52.8% in 1997 to 19.7% in 2022. In 2017, there were 359 coal-powered units at the electrical utilities across the US, with a total nominal capacity of 256 GW (compared to 1024 units at nominal 278 GW in 2000).

As of September 2022, developers have not reported any plans to build new U.S. coal-fired capacity in the future.Nov 7, 2022 and Nat Gas......US is down to adding less than 5 Gas plants a year now (replacing ???, just older gas plants) and Nat Gas Retirements????? now averaging 5 a year Coal is Shit............

Here was your confusion, which is very strange. "Wow which is it Eco 7% or 1.5% " How could you be confused, Rob^ "The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that coal-fired power generation grew by 1.5% (158TWh) in 2023", which obviously refers to world coal-fired generation. "The IEA estimates that China's coal-fired power generation increased by almost 7% in 2023." "Last year, GLOBAL operating coal capacity increased by 2% as the WORLD added a total of 69.5 gigawatts of coal fired power." Where you have serious problems, Rob, is explaining why sales of EVs is rapidly reducing to an actual negative growth rate. EVs are stalling and going quietly into decline. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-ev-sales-expected-to-only-increase-by-21-in-2024-as-ev-market-cools-but-chargers-and-range-arent-to-blame-302112559.html "Sales problems in the U.S. can be attributed to an unsustainable reliance on Tesla, which is faltering as the supply of early adopters dwindles..." "The latest forecasts from global technology intelligence firm ABI Research find that global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales are expected to grow by 21% in 2024 and 19% in 2025. This represents a significant decline from growth rates of 31% in 2023 and 60% in 2022." So we have a clear downward trend, 60% - 31% - 21% - 19%...disaster, meltdown.

Either way, there will not be a path to a position of replacing fossil fuel transportation with EV. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
