Do not get me wrong. I am a STRONG proponent of fission and fusion. Even once fusion is going, I believe that we still need fission to burn up all of this 'nuke waste' that is being thrown away.
If you are working in the industry, how come you folks are NOT pushing the GOP to support the nukes? While AE is fine, wind, solar, etc are NOT capable of replacing 100% of the baseload power. We need Nukes, esp. the SMRs. Is your company pushing this, i.e. lobbying for it?
First, you are looking at ALL AE, which would be hydro, bio, wind, and solar. The hydro, bio, and wind are either owned by the utilities OR are centralized and then sent over the grid.
But solar is a different issue. It is far more split, and that is why utilities hate it.
Secondly, the last time that nukes was popular with utilities was the 70s. Since then, it has been coal, then nat gas/wind. Think about it. They have not built a new nuke plant since early 80s (and started in the 70s). Many have been shut down over the last 10 years (sadly), and uneducated far left wingers continue to make large 1GW nukes far too expensive.
Third, storage STILL remains expensive. Hydro storage is the only cheap one, but it requires the correct land for it. Batteries, esp li-ion, are expensive, so, will only be used in relatively small amounts. Small meaning, for homes, businesses and then for tiding a utility over for minutes at the most. IOW, large utility scale storage will not provide a day, let alone a week, worth of electricity for sometime.
Finally, you are correct that efficiency is lowering demands, BUT, vehicle/truck transportation use more energy than what is used to make electricity. IOW, over the next 10 years, we will likely increase the amount of electricity that we produce by 50% or more. Regular AE, even with storage, is NOT capable of handling the coming peaking that we will see. As such, we WILL need other forms of power.
Numerous studies were done over the last 30 years about moving to EVs.
The first thing it showed was that the grid could handle it just fine (save the northwest, which needs a bit of help), as long as less than 25% of the vehicles charge in the daytime. Note that it was NOT individual vehicles, but based on the demand. IOW, as long as no more than 25% of the total energy used by vehicles was in the daytime, things were fine. BUT, a Tesla Semi is going to draw 1MW, while a tesla Model 3 will draw say 50 KW. HUGE difference.
Where the real issue came up was with the utilities ability to generate that electricity. If more than 25% comes during daytime, LOTS of new energy plants, specifically, inefficient, expensive peaking plants, will have to come on-line.
Likewise, if only 15-25% of EVs charge in daytime, then plants are in good shape, and in fact, it will actually lower the costs of electricity by having increased the nighttime demand.
Finally, if less than 15% charge in daytime, then utilities save a TON OF MONEY.
This is why I continue to fight against our subsidizing hybrid and low MPC crap. These will cost ALL OF US, while the high MPC EV will be charged at nighttime except when doing a long distance drive. This is also why I continue to suggest that we charge.01-2/kwh on non-residential chargers from 0900-1800. That will discourage daytime charging, while pushing it all to nighttime.
What is NOT increasing, is the demand for UTILITIES electricity. That has been flat for some time depending on the state. If you are in a state that fights against Solar/Wind, then utility demand continues.
However, what is missing is that this is about to change in a HUGE way. In particular, EVs will be coming on very strong esp with Commercial trucking. While cars will outsell the trucks, the trucks are ran 5-10x as much . As such, within 5 years, these will put a huge demand on electricity. Worse, it will not be a simple increase in electricity but will be heavy spikes in demand.
It is for exactly this reason that we need base-load powers, such as nuclear.
H1B is a worthless program for America. If we have a true shortage of help ( we don't ), then we should bring in more green cards. Regardless, CONgress will keep h1b going.
For companies to compete, they have to keep their costs down. Iow, they need to keep total labor $ down. Things can be done with more hrs, but then u have to pay less per hr., OR, we can cut hr. While increasing pay rate.
Seriously, if this is done right, it might actually give us 'cliff notes' on businesses, their web sites, ideally, even connect the subsidiaries.
And perhaps they will show the dots WRT family connections.
All of the security based TLAs have openly said that Trump/Pence/Original admin are traitors. That is why you continue to read that NONE of the original admin got a clearance and for the few that remain, STILL do not have a clearance. Likewise, the intelligence world REFUSE to approve Trump/Pence. To this day, they will not pass information to them directly. Instead, it goes to the 3 generals that work in his admin, all of whom DID pass clearance.
BTW, they do not present the evidence because to do so, combined with what snowden has passed on to Russia and China, would allow them to figure out a great deal about our intelligence world. Snowden has done enough damage.
The ones going to FEDERAL PRISON will be Trump, Trump Jr, SiL Jared, and most likely, though not guaranteed, Pence.
When that goes down, Ryan will become our president.
This is the setup to show that these Russians did influence the election illegally. Likewise, Mueller has a number of witnesses that will be forced to tell the truth, or have charges against them increased.
Trump and pence will go down for the traitors they are.
Why do u continue to lie about what I said?
I said to stop growing your emissions by simply stop adding new coal plants.
Otoh, you accuse me of saying that China has to cut.
China does have to stop coal, just as most of the west is doing, but, simply getting China to quit growing their emissions and emissions in other nations would be a smart start.
Why are you so opposed to helping to solve the co2 issue? America continues to lower our emissions, but even I will say that it is not fast enough. And with china being one of worst nations wrt emissions/$ GDP, it makes good sense to stop adding new coal plants.
1) all of the west combined emitted less than China in 2012, on forward.
2) China is now over 1.1TW of just coal plants.
3) China is adding another 650 GW of just coal plants while shutting down a fraction of that (less than 100 GW will be shutdown over the next 15 years).
4) it DOES take time to change the infrastructure. BUT, China could stop adding new coal plants in China and elsewhere TODAY. They refuse to do that.
5) worst of all, are those that defend china adding these coal plants. Basically, they believe that it is their god given right to add them not just in China, but all around the world. America, along with most of the west (exception is S. Korea, Japan, Germany, Australia, and Poland), have stopped adding coal, and are actually dropping ours. Yeah, Trump is speaking about adding more, but there is ZERO chance of more than 1-2 plants being added under him, unless he gets massive subsidies out there.And that is not happening.
look, there is little chance that going up 3C will lead to Human extinction.
It WILL lead to a lot of war esp. between nations. I fully expect China to steal Pakistan, India, and South East Asia's water. When that happens, Shit will hit the fans.
No longer adding NEW COAL plants will not lead to any issues. In fact, it would likely increase the lifespan of more citizens.
As to cutting coal, far better to simply replace those with AE and Nukes.
And I fully agree with your last bit there.
Right now, the ENTIRE WEST puts out less CO2 than what China is adding JUST IN COAL PLANTS over the next 10 years.
Seriously. The only way to stop the CO2 is to have ALL NATIONS STOP ADDING COAL and back off rather quickly. This is ESP TRUE for China. Yet, there will be many here (including a chinese troll that follows me) that will actually DEFEND China's adding 750+ GW of new coal plants over the next 11 years. And that is just CHINA. That does not include the large number of extra coal going in, nor does it include the massive number of ICE vehicles being sold.
If ppl want to stop this, then ALL NATIONS MUST STOP. Not just 1 or 2.
Seriously, I suspect that Russia will buy these and other assets though indirectly.
Trump is paying off putin and destroying America as quickly as possible before he goes to prison for logan act violation or just treason.
Mueller needs to speed this up and get trump/pence into prison soon.
cool.
So, please list us the bills that O did, that increased the debt by $10Trillion.
U can not. The reason is that most of that was done by the GOP under W and then the GOP refused to make cuts like we needed.

If you did, u would see that a lot more is going on than just adding AC.

Yes. Fox news and daily stormer have all that you need about GOP. As to Republicans, there are none left in the GOP.
For companies to compete, they have to keep their costs down. Iow, they need to keep total labor $ down. Things can be done with more hrs, but then u have to pay less per hr., OR, we can cut hr. While increasing pay rate.
Actually, there are multiple mines in Idaho that would be cheaper.
2 yr old articles? Really
Buy the mines with Tesla and other companies.
Seriously, if this is done right, it might actually give us 'cliff notes' on businesses, their web sites, ideally, even connect the subsidiaries.

right.
But that was not steele's actions to shop that. He was contracted to write it, and that is all that he did.

How did Steele spread it? He wrote a dossier and gave it to a company. Nothing illegal about documenting Trump's treason
Seriously, between Russia cracking it, and dod forcing USAF to run win 10, ms has to love it.
