Conservation scientist, still hanging on to hope that it is not too late. Mostly focused on marine conservation using Systematic Conservation Planning approaches. A geographer at heart.
Great to see that there are some more rock climbing focused science starting to come through. It is a big advance from just hoping that studies from quite different activities would have some relevance.

Is this at a museum or airforce base?

Indeed the best decision for the system may be very different to the best decision for the household as different entities get the benefits and cover the costs. Different prices for each too.

And for the individual, if the cost of storing is less than peak energy cost, it is a no-brainer to store daytime solar. There may be other benefits of being more modular in terms of distributing risk.

Obviously for the system the graph values would stand.

....(e.g. stable electricity supply which is not a given in the global south with places like Pakistan and South Africa having issues with interruptions).

This is a fair enough point, but for an individual it is dependent on a reasonable and fair feed-in tariff. It also excludes other benefits to an individual....

This really is dumb: If Russia wants to continue with war, we won't support the peace process.

Amazing how progressive Hungary is on this! Interesting that some of those making the best progress on renewables (China, Hungary, Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma) are not exactly high on the woke liberal bunny-hugger lists.

Seems like a good fit... perhaps just put the panels on the golf courses. :-)

Yes some systems are dirtier, and replacement would give better outcomes, but broadly it does not matter whose roof or field has a panel. So long as there are many, many panels and they are put up asap. Yes there are economic benefits to winning the renewables race, but for climate we all win.

Clearly the logical next step is to sack everyone who who is not male, white and six foot tall??? The levels of stupidly and cruelty are just amazing.

We can absolutely accelerate this, but this is showing a very clear and positive trend (in the right direction!).

Or is that being too hopeful?

It appears that the current effectiveness of the longer range drones in destroying the Russian oil industry, the direct costs of the Russian war effort, and the costs of sanctions and isolation will force a Russian "declaration of success" and retreat sooner rather than later.
