Bloomberg also listed a number of Biden advisors who are not on board with implementing a stricter #climate test for the massive #fossilfuel projects…could add up to 317 #coal plants worth of #carbon emissions to the atmosphere over the coming decade
That list included Biden’s senior energy advisor Amos Hochstein—a particularly influential confidant to the president, who has reportedly “raised concerns” about the economic and geopolitical impacts of a pause.

Uranium miners surge on $500m US enrichment push

Shares in uranium miners jumped globally after the US said it’s soliciting bids to boost domestic production of nuclear fuel in an effort to bolster national energy security. The Energy Department is requesting proposals from US companies to produce a type of fuel known as high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, it said Tuesday. It plans to invest as much as $500-million in the projects and other ventures to convert HALEU into chemical precursors for nuclear fuels.

#StopDeterioratingCarbonSinks: it is good news that AES Corp. just closed down its Redondo Beach Generating Station, which could put out 1.3 gigawatts of power. Demand for its power had been weak in recent years, except that it was used as a peaker plant when solar sources declined.

So what can replace these dangerous peaker gas plants that threaten the planet with greenhouse gases?

Batteries? Batteries.

And boy does California now have batteries.
