See what? It has already happened. The temperature can not decrease enough in December to undo what happened in the first 11 months. You seem to forget that the Southern Hemisphere exists, It is summer there.

Read the points raised, Jay. The investment will not be there. You must have skipped basic economics I guess.

"Funding the global energy transition, which is estimated to cost over $100 trillion by 2050, would require 1.3% of projected global GDP.

High interest rates are only making the task more daunting, with the cost of capital potentially putting off those that would fund it."

"In the U.S., carmakers are losing money on EVs because demand is weaker than expected. In Europe, the industry is optimistic, anticipating a surge in EV sales thanks to the launch of many new affordable models. On the other hand, a phase-down of EV subsidies in Germany from January 1st has led to warnings of lower EV sales, and Consumer Reports just came out with a report that found EVs are less reliable than ICE cars. Both could affect the sales outlook.

In offshore wind, as already mentioned, troubles abound. The more expensive form of wind power generation enjoyed several years of significant interest from transition-oriented governments, not least because project developers promised cheap electricity. Now, this is no longer the case. Instead, offshore wind developers are booking billions in impairments, canceling projects, or, as noted, asking for higher prices."

UK Gets $14B Investment for World’s Largest Wind Farm from RWE and UAE

 

RWE and the UAE committed to a massive investment in the UK's offshore wind sector to launch the largest wind farm (RWE file photo)

PUBLISHED DEC 3, 2023 2:19 PM BY THE MARI

 

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated the news of a £11 billion (US$13.9 billion) investment agreement between Germany's RWE and the United Arab Emirates’ state-owned renewables company Masdar during a whirlwind 11-hour visit to Dubai for the COP28 conference on Friday, December 1. News of the agreement for the joint investment in what is billed as the world’s largest wind farm comes at a critical time of the offshore wind and is seen as a vote of confidence for the beleaguered industry from a global investor.

Under the terms of the agreement, which was signed on the sidelines of the COP28 conference, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC, known as Masdar, agreed to acquire a 49 percent state in RWE’s massive 3 GW Dogger Bank South projects. The companies said they were committing to an £11 billion investment in the UK’s renewable energy sector. RWE will continue to own a 51 percent stake in the project and will be responsible for overseeing its development.

Nothing but good news. Industry and investment realign and things keep moving forward.  Contrary to your claims investment has not stopped. Wind hit a rough patch that is now coming to an end. The largest off shore wind farm in the world has been funded in the UK and the largest planned for the US has also been funded. 

This one company in the US is making up for half of the delays and cancellations.

America’s first major offshore wind farm installs first of 62 huge turbines from GE unit

PUBLISHED THU, OCT 19 20239:49 AM EDT

 

A project to develop a facility described as the United States’ “first commercial-scale offshore wind project” continues to move forward after its first turbine was installed in waters off Martha’s Vineyard.

In an announcement Wednesday, Avangrid — which is part of the Iberdrola Group — and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners said the Vineyard Wind 1 project would eventually have more than 60 turbines. It’s hoped that it will start delivering its first power this year.

 

“The project will consist of 62 wind turbines to generate 806 Megawatts, enough to power more than 400,000 homes and businesses in Massachusetts,” Wednesday’s announcement said.
