This story was inspired by a conversation with a fossil fuel exec in Paris a few days after the big outage in Spain. He blamed too much renewable energy as the cause.
Was that really it? Turns out: No.

After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack
When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.

Cool new AER paper uses data from Clean Air Act offset markets to assess the efficiency of air pollution regulation. The analysis finds that marginal benefits of abatement exceed mean offset prices more than ten-fold, across most regions and pollutants.

Geological CDR, which stores CO2 permanently, is needed to reach durable net zero. So how can the UK govt choose the right policies to support CDR scale-up? Our new briefing evaluates a suite of common policies used to support geological CDR & looks at how to fill the gaps: co2re.org/wp-content/u...
