Still think the world is going to shit, but I'm trying to be more positive
Obviously going great so far
"Either way, the internet may change an awful lot this year, depending on what the Supreme Court decides on this one case."
@mmasnick explains
There are 210 coal plants remaining in the U.S.
For 209(!) of them, it would be cheaper to replace them with renewables now than to continue running them with coal, per https://energyinnovation.org/publication/coal-cost-crossover-3-0-local-renewables-plus-storage-create-new-opportunities-for-customer-savings-and-community-reinvestment/ #ClimateTech #ClimateEcon #sustainability #climate
<p>New analysis finds 99 percent of existing U.S. coal plants are more expensive to run than replacement by local wind, solar, and energy storage resources. Transitioning to clean energy resources would save enough to finance nearly 150 gigawatts of four-hour battery storage, and would generate $589 billion in new investment across the U.S.</p>
In my vain effort to have people understand me and what I am ranting about, I try to clarify to commonly misunderstood First Amendment phrases: “First Amendment exception” and “this is a First Amendment issue.”
