Fun fact (which blew my mind): CO2 emissions from China's iron & steel sector are nearly twice as large as emissions from the country's entire transportation sector! And cement production in China is also roughly equal to transportation emissions. Industrial decarbonization is the next frontier...🔌💡

A big contrast: From 2006 to 2023, China's nuclear energy production surged by 690%, rising from 55 TWh to 435 TWh. Meanwhile, Germany's nuclear output plummeted from 167 TWh to zero, making it the only major economy to fully phase out nuclear power.

This is the best article on the benefits and challenges of heat pumps I've read. I really don't know what the solution is, although hybrids (furnace plus heat pump) are one major option. This is after years of trying to figure it out. #electrifyeverything 🔌 ⚡️ www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

IPCC AR6 scenarios from European organizations had a higher share of solar & wind, higher electrification, less reliance on nuclear & CCS. European modellers contributed >70% of the scenarios, so the IPCC AR6 scenario results has a significant European fingerprint. rdcu.be/d8pkw

There’s a solar plant to be built with a 2:1 DC to AC ratio, & six hours of batteries in Oregon. It’ll have a roughly 37-39% AC capacity factor. Come May, it’ll produce enough electricity relative to its 1.2 GW grid connection to hit peak output around 8-9 am &running to some degree until midnight.
