Thats sounding a lot more like what I remembered

Got sources for an AMOC shutdown happening in the past few thousand years?

They’re mostly not set up as a backup system, but to time-shift wind and solar so that it isnt necessary to use more expensive fossil fuel generation. For example, here is what utility-scale battery use looked like on Dec 5 in California

Not really; there are real reasons people don’t want large-scale storage near populated areas, and it’s more expensive than avoiding the need for long-duration storage, and burning it (if you don’t store the oxygen, which raises costs even more) produces lung-damage nitrogen oxides. So there’s a lot of reasons to minimize the need for hydrogen as much as possible.

Depends a lot on where. Places with a lot of both wind and solar need a lot less than those with only one, or with big seasonal heating needs. Way more to say about this than can fit in a comment

You do need some amount of long-duration storage, with the amount depending on how generation diversity and how much clean firm generation you have, but we are still in the early stages of it.

People are going with batteries and demand-shifting first because they’re more cost-effective when it comes to dealing with a few hours of storage. Hydrogen storage is mostly a contender for longer-durarion storage

What’s new is the closed-loop horizontal drilling in places where geothermal was not possible before

That “or” is fairly surprising to me; its fairly easy to use waste heat from electric generation for district heat. Id expect some modest reduction, but not a total trade-off

They’re apparently allowed to create an “administrative” warrant which doesn’t get signed by a judge and which people don’t need to honor by opening their door. But almost nobody knows the difference between that and a judicial warrant, so they abuse them to the max.

It’s not new, but the spending by the richest has gotten to be a much much larger fraction of the total in recent years

This lets them alter the rules of society so that things aren’t just a little tilted in their favor, but are enormously so.

This is California, so likely forever

There is no war, so just crimes

You don’t have to imagine — that’s exactly what happened

This appears to be where the image was published

They don’t even need to modify the weapons; just shoot at peoples heads with weapons not meant for that

A huge amount of extra CO₂ showed up. We don’t have a definitive answer as to where from.

Titles are a problem; they’re all that almost everybody sees — click-through rates to articles are around 2.5% of the headline view rates. I try to increase that by using gift links and archived copies of articles; but that has a fairly limited impact on peoples’ willingness to click in the first place.

Actually understanding means doing more than reading the headline, and that makes it very hard to get information across.

Yes, but they don’t scale to anything like the amount of CO2 people are adding to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. In practice, this means having to phase out fossil fuels faster
