There should be people marching around with these on sandwich boards at COP28. They should be broadcast around the world. Atlantic council had the nerve to ask us to opine on how to get to zero carbon - when we told them nuclear was the only way, we got rejected - shocking !
Great to see these graphs, which help illustrate the futility of large-scale alternative energy solutions. My own small contribution is in developing a simple, efficient wind turbine as part of a planned plethora of small grid-independent, hybrid, wind-based electric power generating systems, under the name Seraph Power. I'm working on crowd-funding next steps in bringing this to market.
A SMR plant could be up within three years once approved; unfortunately the NRC and fossil fuel folks try to hinder that at all costs. The laws of physics and economics will win out in the end, it's just humans perversely like to suffer for a while beforehand.
Thank you for advocating for energy sanity. I've been posting CAISO screen captures on Twitter. These screen captures show some of the reasons for CAISO's power being some of the most expensive in the lower 48 states. Reasons include paying neighboring states $billions / year to take California's excess solar power while they are building out their own solar. There is also mid-day negative real-time pricing in southern California for necessary dispatchable generation such as the huge natural gas fired fleet and the nuclear reactors at Diablo Canyon. My twitter handle is @DrGeneNelson . I also put in a good word for you, Robert with the NARUC Meetings Director. Your "Bone Chilling" article should be on every NARUC Winter Policy Summit attendee's mind. I believe the big reason for energy insanity is a few well-connected people's economic interests are enhanced.
You said you didn’t know anything about California..I guess you weren’t kidding. Can you honestly say that any of this renewable stuff would have happened without government intervention?
Percentages of world population in the West compared to India/China/Africa show why the WHO, the WEF, the UN and various eugenicists institutions are well aware that quickly culling the high-energy-consumerists on this planet is essential to avoid a collapse ...
While many here are pro-nukes, I am steadfastly pro-gas. Don't take that,as anti-nuke, but there will always be a niche for flexible load following, easy start, easy stop, gas turbines on the power system. They will always be the workhorse to respond to AGC, provide transmission shift factor support and many other ancillary services. Despite the lefts rhetoric, high efficiency direct burn home appliances will remain as one of the lowest carbon option for most households
Beautiful laying out of the real actual physical facts. And notice how climate hysterics never even mention "cutting back" the carbon dioxide produced by the military...all the militaries! The military does not report its "carbon footprint," even as it claims that "climate change" is the worst threat to the future.
Global warming now renamed to be climate change is the biggest HOAX there ever has been.
U.N. was / IS the sponsor and financier of sweet teenager Greta. They are on board with all the other Grifters, governments, NGOs, et al, to get the gullible stupids to give them money to do the impossible! CHANGE THE WEATHER!

It was never about the emissions.
Good read, as always. Probably the only realistic way to reduce fossil fuels is lots of nuclear.
It’s really ease for elites to hate something they don’t understand. But there are good reasons WHY fossil fuels dominate the world. Here’s why:

Those were some excellent slides. If only human society was fact-based, things would be a lot better.
Your last slide on nuclear is dead on. The West can not build the same type of plants China and Russia build on budget and in a reasonable time frame.

If the attendance trend continues, 2.3 billion people will attend COP35.

What a ridiculous case of doublespeak.
Great read for sure. Thanks for the graphs.
Great article and charts Robert. Thanks!
