hmmm not endorsing, just observing here. but the DOE throwing the kitchen sink at delisting CO2 from the Clean Air Act feels a little destabilizing
regulatory control is the public's means of addressing negative externalities, eliminating that begs for those costs to then be settled out of court

ooof I'm actually [redacted] and based this number off nameplate capacity and not annual output, actual number is much closer to 10 W/m2...
there are some plants running higher than the 15 W/m2 limit proposed by Smil today in the UAE, but still bad look dude. dont do math angry

which seems a little odd in light of the fact that there are plants running close to 43 W/m2 in Mexico right now

a while back I was reviewing the 2024 Bettering Human Lives report, the author of which is now the head of the DOE. its still sitting in a draft somewhere, but I want to nitpick some of the bits on renewable energy for a minute

the emphasis on ai demand being the key issue here drives me a little insane. afaict data centers are pretty tech agnostic, the looming natural gas overbuild is a product of those turbines being the most dispatchable tech around

AI could keep us dependent on natural gas for decades to come
AI data centers are driving a surge in new natural-gas power plants around the country. What does that mean for our clean-energy aspirations?
